<p>This also says a 22% admit rate: [Wesleyan’s</a> Admissions Numbers Defy Economy](<a href=“Private Blog Message”>http://wesinthenews.blogs.wesleyan.edu/2009/03/30/wesleyans-admissions-numbers-defy-down-economy/)</p>
<p>Piecing things together, the upshot is that the number of ED admits is likely to be about 47% of the Class of 2013, up considerably from the 39-41% that has been the standard.</p>
<p>Thus:</p>
<p>There were 650 ED apps (both EDI and EDII) for Class of 2012 (296 admits; 46% admit rate). <a href=“http://www.wesleyan.edu/admission/Profile2012.pdf[/url]”>http://www.wesleyan.edu/admission/Profile2012.pdf</a> </p>
<p>ED apps (I and II) were up about 38% for Class of 2013: [Dramatic</a> Increase Seen in E.D. Apps ? The Wesleyan Argus](<a href=“http://wesleyanargus.com/2009/01/30/dramatic-increase-seen-in-ed-apps/]Dramatic”>The Wesleyan Argus | Dramatic Increase Seen in E.D. Apps) </p>
<p>So, that works out to about 897 ED apps (I and II) for Class of 2013. There were 350 ED admits (see first link; admit rate of 39%). </p>
<p>Wesleyan is looking for a class of 745; assuming there are 745 and that basically all of the ED admits enroll, that would mean the ED admits are 47% of the Class of 2013. </p>
<p>And, indeed, with 10,065 apps overall and a 22% admit rate overall, that would work out to a total of 2214 admits – fewer admits than for the Class of 2012 (2245), when Wesleyan was looking to enroll approximately thirty fewer students. Basically, Wesleyan is figuring on roughly the same yield rate for the RD admits as last year (last year: 425 RD enrollees out of 1949 RD admits; this year, looking for 395 RD enrollees out of 1864 RD admits), with the difference made up by the greater percentage of ED admits. </p>
<p>Of course, if Wes is wrong and the the RD yield rate spikes up, it will be crowded.</p>
