<p>Based on these figures - 20,192 overall aps, 4330 SCEA apps, 15,862 RD apps, 867 SCEA admis, and 1559 RD admits, I figure an overall 12% admit rate, a 9.8% RD admit rate, and a 54.7% RD yield rate.</p>
<p>Note, however, that this is the commonly published RD acceptance rate, since it is based only on the pool of "regular" RD applicants and doesn't include the SCEA deferreds.</p>
<p>kill me please. or shoot me in the head. why am i even here. </p>
<p>hello fordham college.</p>
<p>i guess it's because we're the almighty dragons('88).</p>
<p>Rats. Why couldn't I have been born in January? Then I'd be a Rabbit, and I wouldn't have been so lucky my whole life so the most crucial turning point to date wouldn't be such a strain on my Islets of Langerhans. Argh...now we're all spiraling towards kidney failure.</p>
<p>I just wanted to say Islets of Langerhans. Whenever else would you get a chance to?</p>
<p>Dear God, that's a horrifying number. Well, I knew I didn't have much of a chance. Good luck to the rest of you.</p>
<p>I'm a rabbit, but I believe that under another interpretation I'm a dragon. I dunno, I was born in January 88, and some people say I'm a rabbit, and others say I'm a dragon. Can this be settled once and for all?</p>
<p>[to bring us way off topic haha]</p>
<p>Back to the topic. DId you see those stacks; they are organized in SOME way. Perhaps by school--realistically. Surely, if by city, they would be thicker and that'd be a poor system.</p>
<p>yea... i found that interesting too... i wish i knew how those stacks were being organized...</p>
<p>I'd put down some money that it is by school--despite what they say. Realistically, they do a lot of things they say they don't.
After all, they're human.</p>
<p>filmoxox17: go by what the chinese calendar says, not the gregorian calendar. That means you're probably a rabbit.</p>
<p>(my sister had a similar situation)</p>
<p>hahah okay well thanks its always bothered me that I didn't know for sure what I was. A rabbit eh? That makes a lot of sense...</p>
<p>ok ok you guys can get back to topic. I thought it was weird that the foders were so thick too. i bet its by neighborhood/city/region so its easier for the regional readers to separate the apps.</p>
<p>You guys really think thats a real picture of our files????????????????????????Come on</p>
<p>that 13% EA deferee rate of acceptance is looking better and better. Strange how perspective changes everything.</p>
<p>derailing the conversation again:</p>
<p>who took the AMC, and what did you think about it?</p>
<p>I really liked the bug problem. I didn't figure it out, but it amused me.The first few were really really easy. The teacher who was giving the test even asked if we were sure this was the right test. I got 97 by my unofficial tally, 3 short of the cutoff. again. But not bad for someone who doesn't do well on math tests. My friend and I spent all of calc today going over the solutions and trying to figure out how the heck they solved all of them. We wasted all period not paying attention to our teacher (but I don't feel so bad, since he gave us the answer packet in the first place) and still couldn't figure out how they got the slope of the line tangent to those two circles on the coordinate plane. Tomorrow's job! or maybe we should actually pay attention, as we have a test on friday... nah.</p>
<p>Can you honestly stop going off topic...it is annoying.</p>
<p>I don't know if it's wierd, but they are incredibly THICK for a 4 page common app and possibly 20+ more papges FAFSA, profile, essays, recs, supplementary materials, etc.</p>
<p>I Wonder what their organizing system is?</p>
<p>we've speculated. and then we moved on. no one knows. email your regional rep.</p>
<p>I guessed right on the bug problem... but I was stupid and forgot to count the zero case on the sqrt(120-sqrt(x)) problem...</p>
<p>so I think I got something liek 114. that's less than last year, unfortunately. I'm taking form B in two weeks tho.</p>
<p>(for the tangent line, w/ the two circles, extend it; now, extend the line through the two centers. The line through the centers bisects the tangent line, meaning it's 1/2 the angle value. use trig to solve)</p>
<p>i have to agree with newyorker on this one; go post in an AMC thread about the AMC; there's a reason behind the title of a thread...</p>
<p>I have to agree with filmxoxo17 as far as folder organization is concerend...It's got to be something with the regional reps and their system of organization</p>

And all along I thought the islets of langerhans were in the pancreas, but this is Yale so competence in the sciences shouldn't be too important...</p>
