<p>I posted earlier on the EA deferral acceptance rate, but I decided to compile a complete list. Anyways, here are a bunch of stats for the class of 2008:</p>

<p>2008
Applicants: 19,674
[ul]
[<em>]EA - 4,049
[</em>]RD - 15,625 (including deferred EA applicants)
[/ul]</p>

<p>Early Action: 4049
[ul]
[<em>]Accepted: 670; 16.6%
[</em>]Deferred: 1,737; 42.9%
[li]Rejected: 1,642; 40.6%[/li][/ul]</p>

<p>Regular Action: 15,625 (including deferred EA Applicants); 13,888 ("Regular" Regular Decision applicants)
[ul]
[<em>]Overall: 1280 Admits - 8.2% admit rate
[</em>]"Regular" RD admits: 1031 - 7.4%
[li]EA Deferred admits: 249 - 14.3%[/li][/ul]</p>

<p>2009
Early Action
[ul]
[li]Applicant total: 3,926[/li][/ul]</p>

<p>Hope that helps if you are looking for stats :)</p>

<p>Does anyone know how many applicants applied EA this year?</p>

3

<p>I'll add it to the original list. If you guys come up with any more stats, post them so we can have a complete list.</p>

<p>I'm a little confused...if 4049 applied early and 13,888 applied regular, wouldn't there be 17,937 total applicants? Or maybe 15,625 is the number of regular applicants not counting deferees?</p>

5

<p>That's a great resource, Newt. Thank you.</p>

6

<p>Bebere, the 13,888 is the "regular" regular decision people (people who applied for RD). I subtracted the EA deferred applicants from the total RD applicant pool to get that figure.</p>

7

<p>I get that, but aren't you counting the deferred people twice? Once in the 4049 early count, and once in the 15,625 regular count? Or am I just really confused?</p>

8

<p>Although it isn't TOO significant, you have to take into account the number of deferred applicants who chose to not apply for regular decision. But I doubt those numbers can be found</p>

9

<p>I see what you are saying bebere. I think Yale counts them as two applicants, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know who is correct?</p>

10

<p>I'm applying RD as a white male. Wow I'm screwed.</p>

<p>Here is some math using last year's College Confidential numbers to compare rates for EA deferred applicants. This may add a little hope to the process.</p>

<p>For CC: 21% (EA accepted) +61% (CC EA deferred) X (21/16.6 (CC advantage)) X 14.3 (Deferred acceptance Rate)= 27.9% Acceptance for CC including Early and Regular for EA applicants. If you get deferred, your CC chance will be about 18.1% for regular acceptance.</p>

<p>For All: 16.6% (EA accepted) +42.9% (CC EA deferred) X 14.3 (Deferred acceptance Rate)= 22.7% Acceptance for All including Early and Regular for EA applicants. If you get deferred, chances will be about 14.3% for regular acceptance.</p>

12

<p>how do you find the CC acceptance percentages from last year? i'm curious to see how CC does at various schools.</p>

<p>Disclaimer: This is the most depressing post ever to appear on CC. Don't think that you will be OK with it. You WILL be disapointed after reading it, guaranteed. I am only reluctantly putting it out there, but please, do not read it.</p>

16

<p>Wow.... 7.4% for "regular" RD is incredibly harsh.</p>

17

<p>Wow-okay that is the most depressing post ever...you guys were right</p>

18

<p>Aww, you shouldn't have read it! Don't make the mistake of going back and reading it again in a few days.</p>

19

<p>it becomes exponentially more depressing each time you read it.. until eventaully it makes you feel suicidal, utterly hopeless.
ha, im only half joking, and ive only read it twice.</p>

<p>I love how you say "every time you read it." That's so true. I've read it like 6 times. What's wrong with me?</p>
