Admission Rates by Undergrad School at Penn

[falafel_1]

<p>Sorry to dig up an old thread, but here are the results of an hour or two of research. Might be useful for the future.</p>

<p>This [Daily</a> Pennsylvanian article](<a href=“http://thedp.com/index.php/article/2003/04/admission_rates_drop_at_penn_ivies]Daily”>Admission rates drop at Penn, Ivies | The Daily Pennsylvanian) dated 2003-04-11 has numbers for the class of 2007, with a 20.5% overall admit rate:

All in all, 19.4 percent of College applicants, 15.5 percent of Wharton applicants, 28.1 percent of Engineering applicants and 42.6 percent of Nursing applicants were admitted.

</p>

<p>[This</a> site](<a href=“http://ivysuccess.com/penn.html]This”>ivysuccess.com is for sale) quotes the same numbers for the class of 2007, adding:

About 35 percent of applicants to the College or the Engineering School were accepted, while 26.7 percent of Wharton applicants and 50.9 percent of Nursing applicants were accepted.

<p>[This</a> site](<a href=“http://www.hernandezcollegeconsulting.com/ivy-league-admission-statistics-2009/]This”>http://www.hernandezcollegeconsulting.com/ivy-league-admission-statistics-2009/) has some numbers for the class of 2009:

The Wharton School admitted 484 applicants for an acceptance rate of 13.6% (down from 15.2% last year). The School of Nursing admitted 123 applicants for an acceptance rate of 41.8%…

<p>[This</a> post on CC](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-pennsylvania/865441-wharton-early-decision-admission-rate.html#post9722724]This”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-pennsylvania/865441-wharton-early-decision-admission-rate.html#post9722724) states with source an interview with Lee Stetson (then admissions director at Penn) that Wharton’s admission rate is 7-8% as of April 2006. I believe this number is for class of 2010.</p>

<p>[Businessweek’s</a> profile](<a href=“Businessweek - Bloomberg”>Businessweek - Bloomberg) says Wharton’s undergrad admit rate is 10% (I’m assuming this is for class of 2014, since they report Penn’s overall admit rate to be 14%).</p>

<p>[This</a> SEAS page](<a href=“Marketing and Communications |”>About) says that for the class of 2014, SEAS admitted 811 out of 4791 students, for an admit rate of 17%. 410 enrolled for a yield of 51%.</p>

<p>[This</a> CC thread](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-pennsylvania/1103529-upenn-seas-early-decision-acceptance-rate.html]This”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-pennsylvania/1103529-upenn-seas-early-decision-acceptance-rate.html) states that the overall SEAS (Engineering) admit rate is about 16% as of 2011, for class of 2014. </p>

<p>[The</a> SEAS website](<a href=“Undergraduate Admissions |”>FAQ) says there were 6,141 freshman applications for the class of 2015, and the average class size is 410. So an admission rate of about 16% gives 983 admits, which would get to the average class size with a 42% yield. Sounds kinda reasonable?</p>

<p>According to [this</a> CC thread](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-pennsylvania/1177399-released-wharton-admissions-statistics.html]this”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-pennsylvania/1177399-released-wharton-admissions-statistics.html), for the class of 2015, out of a 12.3% overall admit rate, Wharton’s overall was 8%, College overall 10%. Overall RD was 10%, College RD 9%, Wharton RD 7%.</p>
