    There's some unconfirmed sources that say UChicago accepted only 1160ish of 13,000 (9%) of its early applicants

    1160 ED doesn't leave much room for a class size of 1740

    @bronze2 Yeah it doesn’t, but it’s similar to what happened last year with 75-80% of the class being filled with early applicants.

    @panth33m, it already is.

    Also, UChicago has both ED and EA. I believe the acceptance rate through ED is much higher than through EA. Not all the EA admits will accept either, so there would be a few more slots in RD. Though UChicago also offers deferred admission to the next year, which takes up a few more slots.

    MIT just released RD results. http://mitadmissions.org/blogs/entry/mit-regular-action-decisions-now-available-online5

    1,464/21,708 = 6.7% for the entire applicant pool. Just 800 places offered in RD after 664/9,557 accepted during EA.

    Last year was 1,438/20,247.

    With colleges about to boast of their record applicant pool and record low acceptance rate, it is sobering to think that only 35 years ago, Harvard had an acceptance rate of 17%. And in the 1940s, it was 90% in some years. Here is a well-researched post on Quora with links to the historical record of Harvard admissions.

    https://www.****/What-was-the-acceptance-rate-at-Harvard-+30-years-ago

    Last year, there were 38 schools with acceptance rates below 20%. Following the limited data so far concerning the increase in applications for the class of 2022, we will now see around 50 schools with acceptance rates below 20%.

    Adding Williams College per https://communications.williams.edu/news-releases/3_16_2018_admittedstudents/
    Williams College has extended offers of admission to 1,163 applicants for the Class of 2022. They were selected from a total applicant pool of 9,559. ... The target size for the Class of 2022 is 550 students, as it was last year. Two hundred sixty-five applicants were admitted to the class through the QuestBridge Match program and early decision, and another 13 will join the class after taking a gap year.
    Not completely clear as to whether the 1,163 admitted includes those 265 previously admitted through ED.

    Though, @bronze2, colleges didn't market nearly as heavily or play as many games with the acceptance rate (and China, etc. didn't send in hardly any apps) 35 years ago.

    Let’s see which school will have the first negative admit rate! This is absurd.
