@BubbleGlasses I was wondering the same thing as I have yet to receive mine…

@BubbleGlasses I was wondering the same thing as I have yet to receive mine…

I have been accepted and am so excited! I received my merit aid last week, and received my need-based financial aid via email yesterday. Congratulations to all!

Does anyone know what was the ED acceptance rate this year?

In the acceptance letter, it said that admissions chose 1 from every 4 applicants. I’m assuming the acceptance rate is somewhere near 25%, but it could be higher or lower.

As far as I know, last year’s ED acceptance rate was 69% . Hard to believe they only selected one in four this year.

I applied ED2, can’t wait for my decision.

I believe the letter was referring to accepting 1 in 4 for the entire admissions process, not just ED.

Well, it could very likely be the overall acceptance rate including RD but they haven’t sent out(or maybe even decided) decisions to RD candidates so it’s pretty confusing what they mean by 1 outta 4.

I applied ED2 too, do you know when they’ll send out the notification for that? I can’t find the date anywhere online…

@AnonymousCloud well, they said they will send by Jan 15 but the process is Rolling so you may receive it a little soon or late. Are you an international student too?

I just received mine yesterday, no I’m not an international student. I send my application around December 8th-10th. I got accepted ^^ Good luck to you man! But checking your portal is very helpful to know where your application is at. And they told me that they usually send out notification after three weeks of receiving the Early Decision contract/form.

I applied on Dec 12 send them the ED contract around Dec 17-18 so I am pretty sure they will notify me this week.
My portal is at 4 since Thursday/Friday. How long was your portal at 4?
