Harvard, Yale, Other Ivies Release '06 Admit Info
Several Ivy League schools have released their admissions statistics for the 2005-2006 application season.
Harvard accepted 2,109 applicants from a pool of 22,753. This 9.3 per cent acceptance rate is actually slightly higher than last year's rate of 9.2 per cent. For the second time in the school's history, women outnumber men in the admitted class, making for 51.8 per cent of admits. 9.8 per cent of Class of 2010 admits are Hispanic; 10.5 per cent are African-American; and 17.7 per cent are Asian. Approximately 22.8 per cent of admits are believed to qualify for the Harvard Financial Aid Initiative, which significantly lowers the tuition contribution expected from middle-income parents.
Yale's acceptance rate dropped to 8.6 per cent, setting an all-time low both for the University and for the Ivy League. Only 1,823 out of 21,099 applicants were admitted, with about another 700 being waitisted. The acceptance rate for early applicants was 17.7 per cent, and that for regular applicants, 5.8 per cent.
The University of Pennsylvania's '06 acceptance rate is just under 17.7 per cent, with admissions offers going to 3,622 out of 20,479 applicants. The University had previously announced that it would extend admissions offers cautiously this spring and make more use of the waitlist to control the size of its incoming freshman class, due to housing and other problems that arose from an unexpectedly high yield rate for last year's admissions.
Dartmouth accepted 15.4 per cent of its '06 applicant pool. 2,150 out of 13,937 applicants are receiving admissions offers.
Columbia is said to have extended admissions offers to 1,653 applicants, out of a pool of 17,148.
Last month, Cornell officials said that approximatley 21 per cent of the University's '06 applicants would receive admissions offers.

Brown announced that it has accepted 2,525 of its 18,313 applicants for the Class of 2010. This 13.8 per cent acceptance rate is the lowest one in Brown's history and reflects the unusually large size of the 2005-2006 applicant pool.
