How the class gets assembled.
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.
Exact admission data
| Path | Applicants | Admitted | Admit rate | Class seats | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Early Decision | 637 | 389 | 61% | 389 | Likely class seats assume ED admits enroll. |
| All other rounds | 10,375 | 4,572 | 44% | 667 | All other rounds are residual CDS totals, not exact Regular Decision. |
25% joined after being offered a spot. 55% of students who joined were admitted. 15% of applicants were offered the wait list.

Federal outcomes
Federal data from the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard, vintage 2022-23. Outcomes reflect earlier cohorts than the CDS year shown elsewhere on this page.
Nonpayment is the share of Direct Loan borrowers who entered repayment January 2020–May 2025 and were 90+ days delinquent at the FSA pull. It is not the official cohort default rate.
