<p>14.6% is more competitive than last year, which was 15.7%</p>
<p>I saw a list last year of the 20 schools with the lowest acceptance rate. Of the 20, only 5 were LAC’s. The 5 included Pomona, CMC and Pitzer (other two being Amherst and Swarthmore). Congrats to all.</p>
<p>Waitlisted. Probably won’t be accepting a spot on the list considering I got into Grinnell with outstanding financial aid and I’ve been told it’s better for science anyways.</p>
<p>Rejected by mail today.</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone who got in! Pitzer is a wonderful place and I hope you all will visit and enjoy it.
Tougis, I’m sorry to hear that, the new acceptance rate is tremendously low so don’t take it too personally and I’m sure you’ll end up somewhere great!
Thirddplanet:Great to hear you got into Grinnel, its a quality school that I’m sure is strong in the sciences. That being said, I wouldn’t discount Pitzer in your selection. Its sciences are top-notch and facilities and classes are shared under the umbrella of the Keck Science Dept. with CMC and Scripps.</p>
<p>I’m not really inclined to take a spot considering the last CDS has over 900 people on the waitlist and none accepted (2008-09). Better to just rip the bandaid off than pull it slowly.</p>
<p>Oddly enough I was waitlisted by Pitzer and accepted at both Claremont McKenna and Pomona</p>
<p>congratulations to everyone that got in</p>
<p>DS was ACCEPTED</p>
<p>White Male from PA
3.68 UW/ 4.06 W for 9-11th
34 ACT
1480/2140 SAT (superscore)
ECs - 3 of which started prior to 9th grade; leadership in 3; community service.
Received Trustee Community Scholarship</p>
<p>He was denied by Pomona and Oxy the day before he received this acceptance. We were very surprised with an Oxy rejection and Pitzer acceptance.</p>
<p>Though it is his top pick, the cost is much higher than other schools he has been accepted to. Sadly, he will likely to attend.</p>
<p>I was waitlisted. I’ll definitely be accepting a spot as it’s my top choice school. Guess we’ll see!</p>
<p>when you send your deposit in, does PZ send you any swag like a sweatshirt, sticker, or scarf? just curious</p>
<p>I saw pictures of last years students receiving orange keychain necklaces</p>
<p>Hi, what does CDS mean? My son is on the waitlist at Pitzer - he was accepted at several other great liberal arts colleges but Pitzer is his first choice. Does anyone know about how many people were waitlisted at Pitzer? He is remaining on the waitlist as he is really hoping he gets in!</p>
<p>According tho this chart, there were 1,380 Pitzer applicants waitlisted!</p>
<p><a href=“2013 College Acceptance Rates - Interactive Feature - NYTimes.com”>2013 College Acceptance Rates - Interactive Feature - NYTimes.com;
<p>It is also interesting to see that Pitzer took 42% of the ED applicatns and only 13% of the RD applicants.</p>
<p>it may seem like a lot, but not at all uncommon.
Bates waitlisted 2,099
Bowdoin 1,374
Colgate 1,735
Trinity 1,996</p>
<p>It may be more useful to contact admissions and ask the percentage that actually get off the waitlist.</p>
