stats on ea?

<p>2965 people applied early last year, of which 377 were accepted early. 12.7%</p>

<p>A remaining 2370 were deferred to the regular action round, where 295 were accepted, with no consideration as to their early applicant status.</p>

<p>If you are looking at the total percentage of EA applicants admitted ever (early or during regular), the number you get is 22%. Seeing as being an EA student doesn’t give you an edge in the regular action round, I would be inclined to chalk this up to the more competitive applicant pool.</p>

<p>All in all, the 12.7% is consistent with MIT’s overall acceptance rate of 13.3%.</p>
