| Path | Applicants | Admitted | Admit rate | Class seats | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Early Decision | 807 | 356 | 44% | 356 | Likely class seats assume ED admits enroll. |
| All other rounds | 22,282 | 10,053 | 45% | 1,185 | 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: 15%. 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.
Wait-list policy reported, counts unavailable.
Wait-list outcomes can change sharply year to year.
Application fee: $75. Fee waivers are reported as available.
