<p>Does anyone know how many men applied this year and how many were accepted?</p>
<p>I don’t think that is published yet. I can’t imagine it being far off of last year’s numbers. 2381 applied, 313 accepted (13% for men). Curiously only about 1/3 enrolled. Whatever the numbers are, HMC is, and will remain, highly selective.</p>
<p>On the Class of 2018 profile on their website, they report 13% of ALL applicants were admitted. Which going by historical precedence probably means that the admit rate for men was much much lower.</p>
<p>Agree with @5bobbleheads, it is likely to be below 13% for men for this year. Last year the admit rate was 19% overall and 13% for men. So since the overall rate went down, I would assume the acceptance rate for men was probably in single digits this year. But we probably won’t know for sure until the Common Data Set is release for 2014-15. </p>
<p>Thanks, @intparent. Do you know when the CDS is normally released?</p>
<p>Admissions has gotten insane!</p>
<p>Or Mudd has been discovered. 
Sorry, I don’t know when it is released. I checked the version I just looked at on the website, didn’t see any date at the top of the document that showed me when it was published.</p>
<p>“Mudd has been discovered.”
Does this have to do with its No. 1 rank for ROI? (<a href=“Harvey Mudd at No. 1 for College ROI | Harvey Mudd College News”>A Busy Summer of Presentations for AMISTAD Lab | Harvey Mudd College News)</p>
<p>I think it has held this ranking for the past three years. It certainly doesn’t hurt. I actually give a lot of credit to the current president, Maria Klawe. She has been a great ambassador for Mudd, and I see her regularly in high profile interviews in print and video. </p>
<p>I honestly didn’t think about any of those stats when I applied and decided to go to Mudd. I am going to be a junior in the fall, so maybe there wasn’t so much news about Mudd then. I guess I also probably enjoyed a higher acceptance rate.</p>
<p>I couldn’t find this the other day when making post #7, but just came across it. Maria Klawe is #17 on Fortune magazine’s list of the world’s greatest leaders this year!</p>

<p>Yes, this is quite a remarkable woman. You listen to her and the leadership qualities leap out at you. No question to me.</p>
