<p>kotbala,
Allow me to respond with actual facts. In the class which entered in the fall of 2012:
575 students applied ED and 180 were admitted for a total acceptance rate of 31.3%
6014 students applied RD and 755 were admitted for a total acceptance rate of 12.6%
Thus, the overall acceptance rate was 14.2%</p>
<p>These are the most recent numbers available. Again, best wishes to your son and have him follow up with his regional rep.</p>
