<p>wtidad,</p>
<p>I agree with all your calculations except for the 18 percent acceptance rate - seems kind of low. To go from 29% to 18%?</p>
<p>If you look at the class of 2011 stats then you can see they took the total accepted number over the total number of applicants = x/100 then you get the acceptance rate. This number is regular applicants as well as early.</p>

<p>So for this year total (including early decision)…</p>
<p>Number of applicants = 5160
35% yield
475 spaces for admission</p>
<p>475/x = 35/100 … x = 1357</p>
<p>So 1357 people are accepted</p>
<p>1357/5160 = x/100 … x = 26.3% acceptance rate</p>

<p>I looked for the international acceptance rate but I believe that Bates does not list that kind of information on purpose. All I could find was that last year there were 26/442 (not including transfer) international students. I just have no idea how many internationals applied.</p>
