<p>Early decision and early action plans are in section C12 of the common data set.</p>
<p>for example:</p>
<p>in 2005 Cornell received 2570 Ed Applications
1067 students were admitted under their ED plan</p>
<p>1067/2570 = ED rate = 41.5%</p>
<p>then go to section C1 for freshman admissions:</p>
<p>6624 total students admitted </p>
<p>1067 (students admitted ED)/6624 = 16.1% of the total class was admitted ED</p>
<p>6624-1067 = 5557 (# of students admitted RD)</p>
<p>total applicants 24,452 </p>
<p>24452- 2570 (ed applications) = 21,882 (total # of applicants in the RD pool)</p>
<p>5557/21882 =25.39% admitted RD</p>
<p>2570/24452 = 10.5% of the total pool applied ED</p>

<p>I next looked up MIT (since their common data set gave no information for early action) Did a google search asking about the early action for class of 2010.</p>
<p>Link to news report came up that states:</p>
<p>12 percent gain early admission to Class of 2010</p>
<p>MIT has accepted 377 or 12 percent of 3,098 applicants for early admission to the Class of 2010, continuing a long-term increase in selectivity while doubling the percentage of underrepresented minority students to 27 percent. </p>
<p>The Class of 2009 has 14 percent underrepresented minority students; the Classes of 2006, 2007 and 2008 have 20 percent. </p>

<p>Most schools will give this information through their school newspapers.</p>
<p>hope this helps.</p>
<p>happy hunting</p>
