Regular Admits May See 3% Acceptance Rate

<p>For what it’s worth, over at Yale: [Yale</a> offers admission to 1,975 applicants | Cross Campus | Yale Daily News](<a href=“http://www.yaledailynews.com/news/2012/mar/29/yale-offers-admission-1975-applicants/?cross-campus]Yale”>http://www.yaledailynews.com/news/2012/mar/29/yale-offers-admission-1975-applicants/?cross-campus)</p>

<p>^^^ The 1,975 figure includes 675 students admitted early.</p>

<p>Whats with these huge waitlists at Yale and Princeton?</p>

<p>Wow…</p>

<p>Over at Princeton: [Princeton</a> University - Princeton offers admission to 7.86 percent of applicants](<a href=“Princeton offers admission to 7.86 percent of applicants”>Princeton offers admission to 7.86 percent of applicants)</p>

<p>Princeton University has offered admission to 2,095 students – including 726 students admitted early – or 7.86 percent. 1,472 candidates were offered positions on the wait list.</p>

<p>I got rejected to Princeton, Dartmouth and UPenn and then miraculously waitlisted at Harvard. Does anyone know the number of waitlisted students this year? They said last year they admitted +30 off the waitlist but idk the number of people on it.</p>

<p>Harvard does not publish the number of waitlisted students, but I would assume the number is similar to Yale or Princeton’s.</p>

<p>"why don’t they take their 50 billion endowment and build more dorms "</p>

<p>Why don’t they take their endowment and found new Harvards. The country needs at least a half a dozen more.</p>

<p>J.</p>

<p>I wish they released waitlist data.</p>

<p>Build more dorms!!</p>

<p>hmm, i wonder what’s the acceptance rate gonna be next year…</p>

<p>I got shotties on it going up a little for RD.
In like five years, though, omg. I don’t even want to know. I just wish I was born earlier.</p>

<p>Even if an applicant is rejected, he/she still has potential to become successful, an opinion based on the fact that the acceptance rate is so low…</p>
