The university said it reserves most of the spaces in its freshman class for students who apply under its regular decision program. More than 28,000 students are expected to apply for admission by Jan. 1.
<p>ewho - i don’t see numbers for deferred like last year where Shaw mentioned 500 deferred with a possibility of 50 being picked up. Do these numbers tend to be the same?</p>
<p>We may have to wait for them to tell us more about the detailed numbers. But, this is good enough for me. All I want to see is that Stanford will beat the Stanford wannabe school in Boston in admit rate and yield to admit ratio. The other school may still have a higher yield.</p>
<p>timeless - thanks. It is my pleasure to do so.</p>
<p>I am not sure if the 280000 is the RD number or overall? If it is the RD number, then Stanford will receive about the same number of applications as that of last year. And hence it wil have a similar admit rate - 7.1 percent.</p>
<p>I observed from the accepted thread that many SCEA accepts are URM or first gen. Is it the case that a lot more folks in these two category apply SCEA?? If so wouldn’t it have made sense for some of the borderlines or deferrals to have applied RD?</p>
