U Penn Accepts 29% of ED Pool

The University of Pennsylvania's Early Decision acceptance rate rose slightly this year, with 29 per cent of early applicants for the Class of 2011 receiving acceptance letters.

Last year, U Penn's ED acceptance rate was 28 per cent. This year's rate was higher partly because fewer students applied under the early deadline.

The ED admits will fill 48 per cent of the places that U Penn has available for freshmen in Fall 2007. Their average SAT scores are 697 in Critical Reading, 722 in Math, and 705 in Writing.
