Averaging these offer rates together is misleading because residency is a major factor in our review. If you are going to share these numbers, cite BOTH offer rates and not an average. Last year, we made just over 8,400 total offers to reach the enrollment goal.

Deferred students are no longer bound by Early Decision agreements. Read more about deferral here (this link is in all defer letters). Midyear grades are due by February 15th and we're happy to take them via the student portal.
A couple notes:
1. I do not have additional statistics. We are already immersed in the Early Action review process and I have to read files!2. Decisions will be posted in the applicant portal tomorrow night. You got login credentials back when we received your Common App. I don't control the posting of the decisions, but we will email everyone after the technical team finishes the work they do to add decisions to the poral. Your enrollment deposit is due by January 1st.
3. Admitted students will get a paper copy of the offer letter by mail. I can't predict when the mail will arrive.
4. The Echols, Rodman, and College Science Scholars program invitations will be extended at the end of the Early Action and Regular Decision processes. Echols and Rodman also allow self-nomination after your first semester.
