Why oh Why did we had to fall for Yale (EA statistics)

<p>Can somebody figure out the international EA admit rate? It would seem to me that if the limit on international undergraduate admits is in the range of 9% of the total pool, the EA international admit rate is much lower than the 17% overall rate. For practical purposes there are about 130 international admits of which going by historical profile of the undergraduate composition probably 60 will be from China and Korea, about 10 from Canada and about 5 each from India, Britain and Germany. This leaves about 45 places for the rest of the world more or less randomly distributed. With her scores and school marks I would think flowertje is still very competitive in that pool if she wants to go to Yale for the right reasons. I would not bet the farm on it but unless there is another star candidate from Holland coming out of the woodwork in the RD round she would have to look very good. Since as a dutch national she can get EU rates at Oxford or Cambridge (plus portable student financing) , I wonder if she has applied there as well. Personally I would think that she would be quite happy at Merton.</p>
