How much of the class comes from ED
~35% of enrolled freshmen were admitted through Early Decision.
This is a share of the freshman class, not an admit rate.
† Regular round (est.) = (all admitted students − Early Decision admits) ÷ (all applicants − Early Decision applicants). It also includes Early Action, because the Common Data Set does not report Early Action counts.

What this means:
How to send scores
Self-report accepted; school doesn’t say when official scores are due
You can self-report or send official scores. The school’s page doesn’t say when official scores are required.
School’s words: “Optional: Provide official or self-reported test results from the SAT and/or ACT.”
