§ Adjusted admission flow

Applicants, admits, and class seats use separate stage scales so Early Decision and all other rounds stay readable.

Each column is scaled within that stage. Labels show exact counts.

Early Decision	202	4	2%	4	Likely class seats assume ED admits enroll.
All other rounds	8,891	8,808	99%	1,843	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: 21%. 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.
