On April 1 at 5 p.m., applicants to Penn's class of 2014 will find out if they have been accepted.
According to Dean of Admissions Eric Furda, this year marks Penn's most selective year ever, with an acceptance rate of 14.2 percent.
That is a 2.9-percent drop from last year's 17.1-percent acceptance rate.
The applicant pool grew over 17 percent from last year, resulting in a total of 26,938 applications to next fall's incoming freshman class, the largest applicant pool in Penn's history. Penn accepted 3,830 of these applications.
Penn's targeted enrollment for the new freshman class is 2,420 students divided across all four undergraduate schools — the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Nursing, Wharton and the School of Engineering and Applied Science. |

Surviving the largest pool of applicants Penn has ever seen, the accepted class of 2014 has raised the bar in terms of admissions standards.
This is the most selective year ever, according to Dean of Admissions Eric Furda, with both diversity and test scores increasing.
Penn accepted 3,830 students for the class of 2014 — 195 fewer than for the class of 2013. The University received a total of 26,938 applications this year, compared to 18,800 five years ago.
The average SAT score of the perspective freshmen is 2,178, a three-point increase from last year’s 2,175. This score is also 45 points higher than that of the 2010 graduating class.
Diversity has also increased slightly from last year, rising from 46 to 49 percent of the accepted class. The class of 2012, by contrast, was 40 percent non-white students.
Students come from all 50 states and Puerto Rico. Last year’s class included students from 49 states — all but Alaska.
The number of accepted international students dropped from 13 percent for the classes of 2012 and 2013 to 12 percent for the class of 2014.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s international rate also dropped by one percent to seven percent. Harvard University’s accepted class is comprised of nine percent international students — the same as last year.
Penn accepted 50 percent females and 50 percent males, as did Princeton University.
Other peer schools’ admitted classes are slightly less balanced. MIT accepted 53 percent males, while Harvard’s class will be 52.4-percent male.
Like Penn, Princeton, Harvard, Stanford, Brown, Columbia and Cornell Universities, as well as MIT and Dartmouth College, all reported record low admissions rates for this cycle. Yale remained consistent with last year at 7.5 percent. |
