§ Admission rounds

How the class gets assembled.

Early Decision offered
Likely ED share of class38%460 ED admits / 1,223 enrolled first-years
ED admit-rate multiple1.7x86% ED vs 49% all other rounds
Seats left after ED763of 1,223 enrolled first-year seats
All-other admit rate49%5,912 admitted from 11,983 applicants
§ 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 Decision53846086%460Likely class seats assume ED admits enroll.
All other rounds11,9835,91249%763All 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: 19%. 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 attrition

34% joined after being offered a spot. 23% of students who joined were admitted. 26% of applicants were offered the wait list.
