I think you’re wrong, metfan. Scottj’s stats do make sense. He did not say that there are 7200 freshman; he just said there were about 7200 acceptances. Not everyone who is accepted by BC will attend.

Here are actual numbers for 2006, as reported by USN&WR:

26,584 applications –> 7,736 acceptances (29%) –> 2,284 freshman enrolled (30% yield)

EA acceptance rate = 37% and RD acceptance rate = 27%
