[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so EA acceptance rate of 5.9%??? that’s insane - or is the release worded incorrectly- it indicates 2,400 out of 40,600 applicants [/quote]

Nope, it’s their first year with ea and they are only accepting enough kids to yield 25 percent of class, but EA accounts for 50 percent of applications.  The only benefit is that ea kids get another bite at the apple in RD.[/quote]

I really wonder if the second look will be a true second look. They have so many applications - they have likely already scored each of the EA applications so they will only second look the top end of the remaining EAs (both academic chops and shaping the class) - no reason why they would go back and read every one of the remaining 38k applications again....

I think a main reason they did EA this year was to unburden the reading time from Jan 15 to March 31. And they effectively did that. My guess is that 10-20% of the remaining 38k applications will be read again at RD cycle. [/quote]

The EA pool is likely the stronger pool however because students have to apply EA to be considered for merit scholarships, and USC gives a good number.  uSC has long been accepting about 10 percent early unofficially so this seems to be more of a slight extension of that than true EA.[/quote]
