<p>Does anyone know how much of the 2010 Tepper class was filled with ED applicants? And how many do they accept each year?</p>
<p>And what's the acceptance rate for Tepper? for RD applicants and overall?</p>
<p>Statistics page:
<a href="http://www.cmu.edu/ira/facts1.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.cmu.edu/ira/facts1.htm</a></p>
<p>Tepper accepted 400 people total in 2004, more than they had in the previous 4 years.</p>
<p>I don't know if CMU offically releases anything about their ED applicant pool, but for 2004 (out of the 2005 factbook):
Acceptance Yield
Tepper : 30% 21%
SCS : 21% 33%
CIT : 47% 24%
H&SS : 53% 23%
MCS : 53% 17%
CFA : 30% 35%
Overall: 42% 24%</p>
<p>So for tepper, does the yield mean that 21% of the 30% of the accepted applicants matriculated?</p>
<p>Yep. :)</p>
<p>Note about percent admitted: CMU has a self selecting pool of applicants because lots of people don't know it exists.</p>
<p>wait, what do you mean by self-selecting pool of applicants? Do you mean that each college reviews only the applicants that check off that college?</p>
<p>Like if I apply for Tepper, H&SS and MCS, only the Tepper, H&SS and MCS adcoms can read my application?</p>
<p>The self selecting thing means that even though CMU uses the common app, people who apply there usually have pretty good stats/are actually interested in CMU, not just applying there because they got lots of mail. For instance, last year Washington University in St. Louis sent TONS of mail and got lots of applicants, but most weren't very interested in the school and just applied there because of the mail, at least among the people that I knew. CMU is the opposite.</p>
<p>At CMU, I believe you apply to at most two colleges (so not Tepper, H&SS, and MCS). Each college makes its own decisions, so you could be accepted to MCS but rejected from Tepper, or perhaps the other way around, though that seems unlikely. You can't be admitted to something you don't apply to.</p>
