<p>I believe that the above information is a lot more useful than the typical "xx% of applicants are in top 10%" we see on most sites. If we had more data points, we could determine if rank does indeed carry much importance. Having the same distribution for SAT scores and GPA's would also help us define the focus of the school on tests scores. </p>

<p>Now, let's look at the Decision Plans:</p>

<p>Early Decision:
Number of early decision applicants 559
Number accepted 168* (30%)
Number enrolled 161 (96%) </p>

<p>Interim Decision:
Number of interim decision applicants 3,349
Number accepted 938** (28%)
Number enrolled 327 (35%) </p>

<p>Regular Decision:
Number of regular decision applicants 4,202
Number accepted 616*** (15%)
Number enrolled 210† (34%)
*Eight (8) were deferred and admitted under a later decision plan.</p>

<p>Here, again, the distribution between ED and ID is revealing. The percentage of ID is almost identical to the ED. Since ID is a lot less restrictive, an applicant may wisely play the ID card.</p>
