Results are in. Apparently there were 10K EA applicants this year, 1380 EA acceptances, a 13% acceptance rate, an anticipated 1400-student class size, and 98% of the class filled. Does this sound right to anyone? Of course, not every accepted EA student will attend, but I’m surprised schools are counting on so many kids to decline. Is UChicago’s yield rate rising that insignificantly? Wouldn’t they have to assume that 55% of EA accepted students will not attend?</p>
