Percentage Acceptance for the Class of 2011

<p>I think idad mentioned this somewhere in another thread…But what was the percentage admit rate for the class of 2011? ED and RD specific statistics? I heard the percentage admit rate went down this year as the number of candidates increased. I also can see from previous statistics that the number of enrolled students increased.</p>

<p>Hey, I may be wrong, but I think the EA admit rate was ~40%, the overall admit rate was 35%, and dunno about the RD rate , but statistically speaking it should not be less than 30%.</p>

<p>From the “Maroon”:

This year, 10,408 students applied to the College, an 8-percent increase in applications from last year. The University accepted a total of 3,628 students, amounting to an overall acceptance rate of 34.9 percent. For last year’s incoming class—the class of 2010—9,542 students applied and 3,673 were accepted, at an acceptance rate of 38 percent.</p>

<p>…The College saw a rise in the number of Early Action applications to 3,068—an increase of 11 percent from last year. Of those applicants, 1,385, or 40 percent of those who applied early, were accepted. Only 26 percent of those who applied regular decision, along with those who had been deferred from early decision, were given offers to attend the U of C.

<p>It appears that if one includes those deferred EA and accepted RD as actually being in the EA pool, the “pure” RD rate is even lower than 26%</p>

<p>Wow. I am feeling the UChicago pride already.</p>
