Exact admission data
| Path | Applicants | Admitted | Admit rate | Class seats | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Early Decision | 129 | 40 | 31% | 40 | Likely class seats assume ED admits enroll. |
| All other rounds | 5,628 | 3,099 | 55% | 287 | All other rounds are residual CDS totals, not exact Regular Decision. |
Class-seat estimate assumes ED admits enroll. CDS does not report confirmed ED enrollment, so likely ED class seats are calculated as the smaller of ED admits and enrolled first-years.
Overall yield: 10%. Published yield blends high-commitment ED admits with the rest of the admitted pool.
Read the ED rate carefully. Published ED rates can include recruited athletes, legacy applicants, and institutional-priority applicants. The general-pool ED rate can be lower.
Application fee not reported. Fee waivers are reported as available.
This school marks applicant interest as Considered. Read yield and wait-list behavior with that policy in mind.
