<p>Just to be clear, the “50%” I mentioned was NOT the ED rate in the past. I had given 40%. However, when I wrote “50%” that was the percentage of the entire freshmen class that were admitted through the ED round. That is not the same as an acceptance rate.</p>
<p>These stats were for the class entering in fall of 2009.</p>
<p>For the class that entered in 2010, the ED admit rate was 33.62%. </p>
<p>I believe this year, NU has an increase of 12% in applications.</p>
