<p>If I believe what the following link says. </p>
<p>The</a> Daily Pennsylvanian :: Penn application numbers increase by one</p>
<p>If Stanford accepts 2300 this year, as it claimed that it would accept less, its overall admit rate would be 5.9% ~ 6.0%.</p>
<p>I predict that there will be a point in the near future where all of the top 20-30 schools will have basically identical student bodies (yes, they’re close now, but the disparity will be even smaller). </p>
<p>I see public schools like UCB and UVA becoming the nation’s top colleges (lower in-state tuitions. Also, CA and VA have really strong applicants). </p>
<p>It’s just so competitive now.</p>
<p>runnerxc, you really think that the lower in-state tuitions will make a difference? The way I see it, the top 20-30 will have such graduated tuitions according to income that I’m not sure I see it making an effect. I can’t imagine that any low income Stanford-Berkeley cross-admits get better aid packages at Berkeley!</p>
<p>also runnerxc most people don’t consider a school’s cost when deciding its prestige. also UVA and Berkeley are only cheap for Virginians and Californians respectively.</p>
<p>Cheap?</p>
<p>Berkeley was going to be more expensive for me than Stanford, and I live less than an hour away from both. Private schools like Stanford give great aid packages. Good luck getting anything from the state unless you’re a minority and/or dirt poor.</p>
<p>Just so you guys know, the Stanford Daily should have a story out this week with a plethora of details about admission and applicant information.</p>
<p>Stay tuned and good luck~</p>
<p>@kimchee1212, do you know what kind of details about admission and applicant information Stanford Daily would post?
BTW, your ID sounds like that of a Korean. Are you? lol</p>
<p>Yup! You? </p>
<p>And, likely a breakdown of major interests, states, gender, race, socioeconomic status, and expected number of acceptances. While I don’t think all of that will be released, hopefully a good of amount of information will be~</p>
<p>yes I am. It should be ‘chi’ though haha</p>
<p>It would be nice to see the statistics for class of 2017 applicants. My ECs are decent and essays are quite passionate and unique, but my lackluster scores would bring me down. How did you manage to win the brutal Korean international competition?</p>
