Regular Decision at competitive schools: 2012 statistics are showing up

<p>xiggi, the information that I have is that the originally reported JHU figure of 3578 RD acceptances was actually the total of RD and ED. They then added the ED admits again to get the 4017 figure, incorrectly double-counting. The corrected figure was a 22% admit rate. That is why I referenced the whole thread and not the Gazette article, which fell short on fact-checking.</p>

<p>I will not "re-correct" the JHU figure you *ed right away; in case my information is wrong.

There were 1055 ED applicants, 439 ED acceptances. ED acceptance rate was 41.6%. So there were 14946 RD applicants and 3139 RD acceptances, for an RD rate of 21%. The numbers are from the article and the Hopkins Insider blog from ED notification day.

<p>LOL - Darn reporters. :)</p>

83

<p>As discussed earlier, none of these reports are truly official - that will wait for Common Data Set publication. But "upon information and belief" I will post what we currently believe are the correct JHU stats in the below-updated summary list:</p>

<p>Harvard: 7%
Yale: 8%
Princeton: ~9%
Stanford: ~9%
Columbia: 10%
MIT: 12%
Dartmouth: 13%
Brown: 13%
Swarthmore: 15%
Penn: 16%
Georgetown: 18%
Bowdoin: 18%
Duke: 19%
USC: 21%
JHU: 22%
Vanderbilt: 23%
Northwestern:25%
Chicago: 28%</p>

84

<p>All I can say is "Oh my!" What on earth will these rates be when my poor D2 graduates high school in 2012???? I think I'd better get her developing affection for our local community college as the sure bet safety.</p>

<p>You left off Barnard. Adding it back in.</p>

<p>Harvard: 7%
Yale: 8%

<p>All I have to say on finding the name Johns Hopkins on a publicly available CDS is ... best of luck to you. Last time I checked, the latest forms were filed in the same vault used by Nanette T. at WUSTL.</p>

<p>The official word from Brown:</p>

<p>Total Applications: 20,630
Admits: 2,763
Admit Rate: 13%
PLME Applications: 2,104
PLME Admits: 92</p>

<p>The admit rate is actually 13.4 percent. And the total number accepted is about 200 higher than last year, which suggests to me that they are expecting a lower yield. PLME is the medical school plan. No word on the number on the waitlist or the number accepted into the new RISD-Brown program.</p>

88

<p>^^--^^</p>

<p>Illuminating --and frightening-- that a 13.4% admit rate equates to the third HIGHEST rate of admission among the Ivies. </p>

<p>The only remaining question mark relates to Cornell dropping below a 20% admit rate.</p>

<p>PS Brown admitted 2,683 students for its class of 2011.</p>

<li>Brown: 13.4%</li>
<li>Penn: 16%</li>
<li>Cornell: ??? (should be 19-20%)</li>
</ol>

<p>The big jumps were at Harvard (19% application increase) and Dartmouth (17% application increase).</p>

<p>Interesting, Xiggi. Because according to the letter I have from Brown dated April 5, 2007, 2,577 students were admitted to the class of 2011.</p>

91

<p>Sly, it seems that Brown was very active in its waiting list or underestimated its admission numbers.</p>

92

<p>But if we are going to compare apples to apples, I'd say we should use the April 5, 2007, and the April 1, 2008, numbers.</p>

<p>And it does appear that lots got off the waiting list last year.</p>

93

<p>Cornell seems to have accepted about 6,700 out of 33,000 for an admission rate of slightly over 20%.</p>

94

<p>Can someone explain to me how the waitlist is figured into the final numbers?</p>

95

<p>Adding a couple more. </p>

<p>Does anyone know any others, like Williams, Amherst, Pomona, Carleton, Wellesley, Smith. etc?</p>
