I searched Wellesley. Couldn’t get into the archives far enough back. But here’s some food for thought for everyone.
In 1996. Not yesterday but not pre internet lol. They had 3600 applications for 1460 acceptances. 41% percent admissions rate.
In 1970 in the Hilary era it appears much higher based on similar schools at the time like Harvard. But more interesting was it was 3400 per year. And 500 out of the 2000 or so undergrads were from Mass and NY.
Fascinating data and how much things have changed.
And how current perception of schools for parents and grandparents were forged in a completely different era of statistical realities.
