<p>as most of us have been told repeatedly there was a rather large influx of students that applied to BS this year.</p>
<p>Currently I only know one school's acceptance rate</p>
<p>Middlesex school: 10% 100 admits out of 1000 applicants </p>
<p>please add on schools' acceptance rate for this year if you know what they are</p>
<p>Middlesex’s acceptance rate is not 10%. From their website: “We had another record-breaking year, with over 1,025 applications for just 100 spots.” So they would accept more than 100 students to fill the 100 spots as not all students will accept their offer of admission.</p>
<p>My guess is it is still a very low number.</p>
<p>SPS has an acceptance rate of 14% per their acceptance notification.</p>
<p>im sorry if i was misinformed that just what it is said on the letter
i apologize my reading skills have gone to hell… due to lack of sleep</p>
<p>If the SPS rate is 14% this year for all applicants, then I have to think that it is even lower for SPS applicants who are not legacies. Elsewhere on CC, it appeared that the acceptance rate for PA legacies is around 43%. If the rate for SPS legacies is near this rate, then the non-legacies have to slide under an acceptance rate less than 14%. So, to all applicants, especially those non-legacy applicants, accepted into SPS or PA, congratulations on a most incredible job!!</p>
<p>Andover is 15% acceptance rate this year.</p>
<p>Seems like new record lows for all schools reporting thus far.</p>
<p>I really quite strongly doubt that the admit rate for legacies at PA is anywhere near 40%. I’m a legacy, yes, but still - the number of legacies here is actually very small. I know one other person in my dorm of 40 whose parent/s went to Andover.</p>
<p>Nice job to all the accepted, by the way! This year was not an easy admissions year.</p>
<p>Groton had 1000 apps for 85 slots. Very very low acceptance rate.</p>
<p>thanks tom…i cant wait for september…i hope others get good news</p>
<p>St. Andrew’s was also way down to 16% from low 30s</p>
<p>Assuming that Groton and Middlesex will expect a yield of 60-65%, that would put their acceptance rates in the mid teens percentage-wise as well.</p>
<p>Is Exeter the only school that hasn’t posted any information on their website?</p>
<p>Did you get a letter, urbanflop?</p>
<p>Taft received over 1500 applications for 160 positions, making it the most competitive year in history.</p>
<p>I recieved my acceptance by email.</p>
<p>Groton had 80 spots and 1000 people applied… 8%. dangg I’m SOOOO lucky.</p>
<p>hotchkisss 18%
1685 applications 310 spots</p>
<p>people need to understand this, which is not evident from most of the posts on this thread. If a school has 100 spots, and 1000 applications, the acceptance rate is not 10%! The acceptance rate depends on the YIELD projected by each school! If the yield is 50%, then the school must accept 200, or 20% of applicants, to fill 100 spots. If the yield is 25%, then the acceptance rate is 40% to fill 100 spots, and so forth. In SPS case, the yield is higher, leaving the acceptance rate well north of 10%.</p>
<p>no, it’s not 8%, it is probably almost double that because Groton’s yield is not 100%.</p>
<p>Hey for the person who commented about Middlesex - They received about 1100 completed applications (compared to 985 of last yr) for about 100 spots. I am a student at MX and am good friends with the Dean of Admission, Mr. Price. I assume Middlesex ended up accepting less than 20% of applicants; my guess is around 15%. I will post later (after I get back from Spring Break) with the official results.</p>
<p>Congratulations for all accepted! I hope to see you guys on campus! I’m a revisit guide so let me know!</p>
<p>Also, If you were waitlisted, I was too! It took me two years! Definitely reapply if you have interest!</p>
