Wait so I got accepted OOS for engineering and it says that only 6675 people got accepted out of 42000 applications. Correct me if I’m wrong, but does this mean about 16% got admitted this year??
I heard this happen last year. I am so sorry. It seems they don’t take some of the top applicants because they don’t think they will come. So wrong and unfair.
what is the most merit given we have seen so far? I got 5.1k annually

No thats the size of their freshman class. They generally admit much more than that, its j that a lot of ppl decline the offer of admission
Look through the new responses on the thread! They’re more instate students getting in!
Right!! I was so shocked!! Like that makes the acceptance rate lower than some top 20 universities

They accept around 20k students, and their yield is around 25-35%ish so that gives them their freshman class size: 6600

always find it humorous when someone says a business program is superior. I went to NC State as a business major and ultimately went into banking. I remember talking to one of my customers who was a Business professor at all three Triangle schools (Duke, UNC and NC State). I asked him what he
taught differently at Duke and UNC. He said
'absolutely nothing, the Duke kids are just smarter"

Hoping!!
Was merit in your acceptance letter?
I hope that is not the case! Not all students who really want to go apply ED. It is just so difficult to understand. Just heartbroken here.

I’d definitely send a letter of continuing interest. I’m so incredibly sorry.

No, they received > 42k applications to fill 6675 seats. No data yet about how many they’ve admitted at this point to fill those 6675 seats.
No, they said they had 42,000 applicants for 6700 spots. They presumably accepted way more than 6700 people to fill the 6700 spots. I’m not sure what their yield is typically, but I suspect it will be lower this year since so many kids applied to more colleges than normal.
