Does anyone know where to find acceptance rates post interview because the number of matriculants probably doesn't equal the amount accepted?

got a phone call to attend to... time for the other folks with data to step up to the plate.
 
Hey... do you mind doing UVM in-state and out-of-state?
 
This may sound stupid, but I've always wondered at the accepted vs. enrolled thing. Do schools purposefully accept practically three times as many students as they have spots for on the grounds that they assume a good portion will go elsewhere? It would really suck to get accepted somewhere only to be told to get lost months down the road.

If they misjudge (which does happen sometimes), I've heard of schools giving an incentive (like a discount off of your first year's tuition) to tempt some students to defer for a year. I think I recall reading on SDN somewhere that MCW did that within the past few years, offering $10,000 of first year tuition.

You get accepted and send in the deposit, you're locked in.
 
I think he meant that they might turn him away because not enough students declined their acceptance, and now there wasn't enough room for everyone.
I understand but if you send in your deposit, they can't turn you away. If they did, I think an easy lawsuit would ensue, hence why they use incentives to thin an overenrolled class.

Yup. And on the flip side, I've heard of a school (I think it was MCW the year before or after they ended up over-enrolling) that actually extended acceptances to some interviewees that they'd already rejected because they under-estimated. Guess it can be a tricky business. I suppose that's why some schools have such a large waitlist. Nice buffer for them, but agonizing for us.
 
I have heard people on other schools where administration have asked newly accpeted students to defer, because of the high number of accepted applicants that decided to actually stay with the schools. I believe, in this application cycle, that most schools will most likely be more reserved in the number of accpetances that they will give out. A lot of schools over enrolled this year, and most schools already have a higher number of applicants this time of the application cycle compared to previous years.

Good luck with the applications, and stay positive!
