<p>from today's Observer ---
In mid-December, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions completed evaluating more than 4,288 applications submitted by prospective students worldwide for seats in the Class of 2012. Of those, approximately 1,150, or 35 percent of the applicant pool, were offered early admission to the University and have until May 1 to accept or decline the offer.</p>
<p>The average SAT score was a 1452 on a 1,600-point scale and the average ACT score was a 33 on a 36 point scale. The average class ranking was within the top three percent of the students' graduating class, making the academic selection criteria competitive.</p>
<p>"We did finish unbelievably strong with [early action admissions] and it tailed off so that with regular action admissions, we will finish slightly down from last year's all-time high," Dan Saracino, assistant provost for Undergraduate Admissions said, adding that overall applications submitted for consideration is down three percent to 14,000 from last year's total count of 14,500.</p>
<p>"In terms of numbers, though we are down, the total pool in academic and ethnic diversity will be greater than ever before," he said. "And we're excited about the opportunity that these changes present to us."</p>
<p>Since the headline says 1150 applicants admitted early....I'm assuming that that's what it is...could someone find out whether it's 1150 or 1510</p>

<p>Math is not passion..... but 35% seems waaaaay off.... like 26% seems more accurate</p>
<p>i think most stats kinda vary depending on the source. like college guide books will list, for example, a 28-32 avg., then the college's website will list 29-33 avg., then the admissions rep will say that they had 20,000 applications for 2,000 spots, which makes it sound like a 10% acceptance rate even though they admitted 30% bc of the yield.</p>
<p>When it says, "The average SAT score was a 1452 on a 1,600-point scale and the average ACT score was a 33 on a 36 point scale", are those the average scores for the <em>admitted</em> students or is that for all 4,500 EA applicants??</p>
<p>I checked with Admissions and they said it was 1500 ED admits. They expect to admit about 3500 in total. 1500 ED this year compares to about 1300 last year.</p>
