Acceptance rate?

Applying to College

<p>When colleges report their acceptance rate, do they factor in Ed acceptAnce rate or just reg decision?</p>

<p>You can find acceptance rates on the Common Data Set (google along with the name of the school) or on the CBs College Search function:</p>

<p>The CDS has a spot for ED numbers, not sure if all schools provide that information.</p>

<p>That’s not what I meant. I don’t need acceptance rates, I want to know how they are calculated. Is ED acceptance factored in to total acceptance?</p>

<p>The ED rate is included in the final acceptance rate as are the wait lists. The total applications are tallied and the total number of offers extend are used. </p>

<p>Where ED rates become important is when you don’t have that separate figure and that figure is significantly higher than the RD rate and when a lot of students are accepted ED.</p>
