<p>I am not sure why we are showing a made up number for Duke. Duke announcement clearly states with graphical illustration that they admitted a total of 2929 with an admit rate of 9.9%.</p>

<p>That’s just their RD rate. </p>

<p>The second line on the page says: “Admitted students, admins share thoughts as RD rate drops below 10 percent.”</p>

27

<p>Nevermind. I reread the article. 11.6% is correct.</p>

<p>Dean Huang showed Senators unaudited statistics for CMC’s 2013 entering class. The acceptance rate listed was 11.7% this year, making CMC more selective than ever been before; last year, the acceptance rate was 12.4%. Huang also estimated that CMC is probably now in the top three most selective liberal arts schools, in terms of admit rate, and said CMC has become an “it” school for high school students. The target size for the incoming class is 310-320 people, said Huang.</p>

<p>Additionally, Dean Huang stated that CMC had received 165 transfer applications as of 5pm on the April 1st application deadline. This pool includes applicants from Princeton, Yale, and Pomona College.</p>
