<p>Wow. What would that make the acceptance rate for RD applicants?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Without adding the deferred students from the early round, the percentage is just below 3.95 percent. Stanford accepts roughly 2/3 of its class in the regular round. The EA round with its low 10 percent admission rate yields fewer than 750 students. In comparison, the admit rate for the early round at the Ivies is close to 22 percent. </p>
<p>The RD admit rate is about 3.8 per-cent.</p>
<p>^
Even if one decides to adopt that unusual technique of adding the deferred students, the rate is still closer to 3.9 percent (1390/35812). The straight calculation is 1390 / 35,219 for a 3.95 percent rate/ </p>
<p>Please leave those types of creative calculations to the likes of the Chicago fanboys, and let the unmassaged numbers stand on their own. It is hard to imagine that Stanford could have lower numbers. </p>
<p>And unlike its peers in the northeast that love to basically defer most of their SCEA applicants to be RECOUNTED in the RD round to “lower” their RD acceptance numbers…Stanford does not need to play this “hocus-pocus” game. Students and parents already know how difficult it is to get into Stanford…and they don’t need any bogus RD acceptance rate numbers to make it seem even “harder” to get into than it already is… </p>
<p>im pretty sure the acceptance rate is asymptotically approaching 0…</p>
