Class of 2029 Acceptance Rates

[Anonymous]

Seems pretty selective to me! Someone on here really hates UVA. Same admissions as Michigan +/- and not far off of Emory. My DC got into USC, UNC and UVA and chose UVA. Great education at half the price.

BC ED acceptance rate was reported to be 33%. 60%+ of the class was filled early.

BC and several others are great schools, but kids worried about acceptance rate as the gauge of prestige should look a level deeper, including CDS data. GPA ranges. Class rank distribution. ED/RD. % submitting scores.

They will find some of the ‘most popular’ schools have similar or worse academic profiles than others with far fewer applicants.

Why do they all publish acceptance rates before the cycle is complete? If they have to take students off of waitlist, the rate will change.

NYU doesn't count a full quarter of the incoming class in the reported stats.

Cornell also has guaranteed 2nd year transfer program and they do not count.
This is common in many many schools.

At our private, NYU takes huge numbers of middle-of-the-class students ED. Cornell does not.

Yes, at our Big3 my kids attend, NYU is also a school that routinely takes kids in the lower 50% of the class. I don't know to which school within NYU--I know they vary in difficulty.

What’s the source? Several schools on the list have not reported their numbers.
