Exact admission data
| Path | Applicants | Admitted | Admit rate | Class seats | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Early Decision | 124 | 77 | 62% | 77 | Likely class seats assume ED admits enroll. |
| All other rounds | 4,712 | 3,118 | 66% | 564 | 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: 20%. 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.
Legacy: Very ImportantDemonstrated interest: Important
This school marks applicant interest as Important. Read yield and wait-list behavior with that policy in mind.
