<p>I got this from the email they sent me. Is this true? If so, that's more competitive than some Ivies.</p>
<p>
The apps probably aren’t quite of the same caliber…</p>
<p>It’s still an impressive statistic, if true.</p>
<p>you also have to consider the amount of students enrolling…</p>
<p>so even if the class size is 900, They’ll accept a great deal of students over that level as their enrollment percent is probably much less than that of the ivy’s.</p>
<p>either way tho, that stat is very impressive (for lack of a better word)</p>
<p>How many students do you think were admitted? Perhaps twice the amount of students enrolling? 1800?</p>
<p>Common data set for 2009-2010 for U of M in total: </p>
<p>50% of Applicants were admitted
32% of those admitted enrolled at the U of M</p>
<p>I haven’t seen numbers specific to IT, but it seems to fall in line with the 50% ad 32% for the university as a whole.</p>
<p>I’d guess that around 2,700 students were admitted, based off average yields I’ve seen (33%) at many schools. This guess puts the school at 39% acceptance rate, if it’s close.</p>
<p>I did a double take at first when I got that email too, thinking “Wow, I got into a more selective place than I thought I did…wait a second…”</p>
<p>yield in different colleges should vary.</p>
<p>They said that they had received more than 2000 applications to Carlson this year and they admitted only about 500. I was really impressed to read this. So the thing is maybe some colleges inside UMN are really competitive.</p>
<p>The caliber of the students was actually very high this year.</p>
<p>For the College of Biological Sciences they received 6,300+ applications and admitted not even 400 students. Average ACT was 31 and Average GPA was 95/100. IT is second best to CBS so I don’t doubt it.</p>
<p>I was at the Dean’s Reception last night</p>
<p>Dude, this is great news.</p>
<p>Where can I find these stats? Does anyone have a link?</p>
