[quote=Anonymous]Below are the stats from the Ivy League schools (and some others) that have reported so far this year, along with last year's stats. The overall takeaway is surprising probably to no one. More people are applying, and smaller percentages are getting in. In the Ivy League, the percentage decrease in accept rates is down double digits at Yale and Brown (10.2% and 13.7%, respectively). I think a lot of Brown's 20.8% increase in ED apps can be attributed to its removal of student loans from financial aid packages this year. Now students can apply ED to Brown without having to wait for competing offers that might have excluded student loans.

I don't know what changed at Duke this year, but they are in high demand. And I remain surprised at the high ED accept rates at SLACs. It feels like they are the last vestige of predictability - kids whose stats are near the top of those schools' applicant pools can still anticipate being admitted. Whereas at the Ivy schools, I think lots of top stats kids are still not admitted.

NOTE: I know the gross acceptance rate is down only 1.5% percent. But 1.5 is 10.2% of last year's 14.7% acceptance rate, which is why I say the acceptance rate is down 10.2%
