How much of the class comes from ED

~37% 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.
