§ Admission rounds

How the class gets assembled.

Early Decision offeredNo Early Action reportedSecond binding round indicated; ED rate is blended.
Likely ED share of class61%286 ED admits / 472 enrolled first-years
ED admit-rate multiple2.9x34% ED vs 12% all other rounds

§ 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.

All other rounds7,36986112%186All 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: 41%. 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

50% joined after being offered a spot. 9% of students who joined were admitted. 18% of applicants were offered the wait list.
