[Elite Colleges Continue to Fill Slots Early - NYTimes.com](Elite Colleges Continue to Fill Slots Early - The New York Times) has a great chart on acceptance/denial/deferral statistics for this year. The author appears to be updating it periodically as schools give her data.

SCU told her 1/3 are eventually accepted, and Northeastern said 1/5. She is pretty hyped about Seattle - we are visiting in a few weeks. Hopefully not a letdown. It is the only school we have researched with students universally raving about it. For other posters info, we were unaware when we applied that they have automatic scholarships on admission based on GPA and SATs. The student that I spoke with said that she and both her fresh/soph roommates had been accepted at Ivies, but chose SU because their aide was automatic and excellent. I believe the highest SATs and GPAs get 16K a year without an additional application or essay! Nice chunk of change, especially across 4 years!
