<p>You guys, chill out. I didn’t say anything to mislead anyone. Those are the numbers mentioned during orientation. I can now see that the Dean meant applications submitted, not applications completed with all other necessary components (for Exeter, the official student information app and ec sheet was to be submitted before you even got a brochure… that was the main part of the official application, and then maybe they toured, and then figured it wasn’t in the cards or something and didn’t complete the application).</p>
<p>By the stats prepparent07 supplied (2400-2500), the rate would be about 20%… so my initial message holds true: don’t put so much weight on stats, because they change more often these days.</p>
<p>In 10/06 it was supposedly 24%, 07 it seems to be around 20ish%… all of the top schools seem to be going through similar app spikes. So make sure the figures are correct if you depend on them so much. Say X1 School info states 65% acceptance and X2 School states 70% rate, make sure those are current figures before you mark X2 off the list. That’s all.</p>
