Exact admission data
| Path | Applicants | Admitted | Admit rate | Class seats | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Early Decision | 202 | 150 | 74% | 150 | Likely class seats assume ED admits enroll. |
| All other rounds | 27,819 | 20,742 | 75% | 3,281 | 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: 16%. 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.

In addition, does your institution use applicants' test scores for academic advising?Yes
If necessary, use this space to clarify your test policies (e.g., if tests are recommended for some students, or if tests are not required of some students due to differences by academic program, student academic background, or if other examinations may be considered in lieu of the SAT and ACT):Students will not be required to submit standardized test scores as part of the admission process. We will review all applications in a holistic manner, considering grades earned during high school, level of challenge of courses completed (including senior year courses), letters of recommendation, essays, special talents, and involvement and leadership in schools and/or communities. We recommend that students pursue a rigorous course of study, including in the senior year of high school, which may include honors, IB, dual enrollment, and/or AP courses, and advanced coursework in college preparatory subjects such as math, science, foreign language, social sciences, and the humanities.
