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

Exact admission data
| Path | Applicants | Admitted | Admit rate | Class seats | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Early Decision | 261 | 209 | 80% | 209 | Likely class seats assume ED admits enroll. |
| All other rounds | 8,584 | 7,528 | 88% | 1,214 | 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: 18%. 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.
