The University delivered its first round of Class of 2019 admission letters on Jan. 23. Of the 16,092 students who took advantage of the early admission program — which allows prospective students to submit their applications before Nov. 1 and hear from the University by Jan. 31 — 4,857 applicants were offered early admission. The program is non-binding, meaning students who are accepted are not committed to attending.
This year’s early admission offer rate was slightly more selective than the previous year: 30.2 percent of 2015 early applicants were offered admission whereas 30.9 percent were accepted for 2014. This year also saw nearly 1,300 more early applications — last year there were only 14,799. The percentage of in-state students offered admission declined three percent to 42 percent in 2015 from 45 percent in 2014.
The accepted students present a mean GPA of 4.33 and average SAT and ACT scores of 1419 and 32.2 respectively. The prospective class is 54 percent female and 46 percent male, and includes 30 percent minority students.
Comprehensive data on the early admission acceptance rate will not be available until May. However, about 42 percent of early admitted students in 2014 — 1,908 individuals — accepted the University’s offer. Additionally, the majority of the incoming class — 51 percent — were accepted through early admission last year.
The remainder of the incoming class will come through regular admission or deferral from early admission. Regular decision and deferred students will hear from the University by April 1.
