[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The admissions blog just updated.

Early Action Applications
Total number of Early Action applications: 25,160
Total number of VA apps: 7,250
Total number of OOS apps: 17,910
We use completed applications in our statistics.

Early Action Offers
Overall offers: 5,219
Total VA offers:  2,502 (35% offer rate)
Total OOS offers:  2,717 (15% offer rate)
Enrollment Goal: ~3,750
It's misleading to average these offer rates together because residency is a major factor in our review. If you are going to share these numbers, cite BOTH offer rates.

Early Action Defers
Overall defers: 6,447
Total VA defers: 1,795
Total OOS defers: 4,652
Read more about deferral here (this link is in all defer letters).

I can also share that our total application number is at 40,971 right now. Remember, we use completed applications in our stats, so the total may go down by the end of the Regular Decision process.[/quote]

Wow.  Good luck to anyone trying to get in RD.  Crazy.[/quote]

What would you think the admit rate will be in RD? Or, in other words, how many offers can they still make to get to target enrollment of 3750, given how many they’ve made in ED and EA? (I don’t know what their yield rate is; I guess that would answer my question.)

43 percent is typical yield rate.  Let's say that is now 50% because of tuition, national championship, Michigan-bashers, etc.  So of 3750, 2600 or so EA attend.  Plus 748 ED.  Say 720 of those attend (there is always some fallout).  That is 3320 call it 3320 slots filled with 430 or so to go.  EA Apps was 25,000 plus 2100 or so ED.  So about 13,000 RD apps for about 430 slots.  Apply yield rate again and they will admit about 850-900 of 13,000 or 7 percent over all.  Probably 10-11 percent in state and 4-5 percent out of state.

I think you're close.  But you have to add Defers from earlier rounds to get a true RD number.  Which makes the RD number about 20,000.[/quote]
