Penn ED SEAS Acceptance Rate ~40%+

[IRJunkie]

<p>

ED in general is self-selective. people who think they can get into Penn apply ED. and SEAS is self-selective as well. people apply to SEAS because they know they have the math/science creds. so SEAS ED is double self-selective…don’t let a 40% accept rate fool you

</p>

<p>That’s not totally accurate. People who love Penn SEAS with math/science credentials will apply ED, but the best candidates will wait until RD - they want to go for Harvard, MIT, Stanford, etc. There are not very many fantastic electrical engineering candidates that prefer Penn SEAS to MIT or Stanford.</p>

<p>In reality, you’re competing against a weaker pool. If you want Penn SEAS, definitely apply ED.</p>

<p>remember that a lot of these ED acceptances may be legacies</p>
