<p>“Lindsley: Early action admissions would be reduced from about 65% to 37.5% of the applicant pool…”</p>

<p>How would you interpret this statement?

  1. 37.5% of the EA applicant pool will be admitted, or
  2. 37.5% of the overall admission will come from the EA pool</p>

<p>@DeaconBlues: “Statement 2. With the majority coming from RD and EA deferreds rolled into RD come February.”</p>

<p>I agree. However, that means 65% of the overall admission were coming from the EA pool in the past couple years!</p>
