<p>A couple of times now I've come across the claim that the RD acceptance rate is going to be ~10%. What gives? Has any information been released yet about the EA acceptance rate?</p>
<p>The number can be calculated from EA statstics (number of acceptances), how many Chicago accepts per given year, and how many RD apps they are likely to get (that is the sketchy one to estimate)… Also I think last years RD was 11%</p>
<p>Around 10% seems about right.</p>
