2021학년도 유펜 얼리 디시전 결과
금년 ED 합격률 15%
얼리 사상 최대 인원 7962명 지원
56개국 출신 국제학생 합격
미국은 입학연도 학번으로 하지 않고 졸업연도로 한다. 국내 대학은 금년에 입학 학생들의 경우 21학년이지만 미국 대학들은 Class 2025다. 미국은 클래스 연도에서 4를 빼야 입학연도가 된다.
유펜은 금년도 얼리 디시전에서 7962명이 지원을 했다. 이 가운데 1194명이 합격을 했다. 합격률은 15%다. 유펜 역사상 얼리에 가장 많은 학생들이 지원을 했다. 레가시 학생의 합격률은 22%로 일반 학생들보다 높다. 이른바 동문 자녀 특혜다. 그러나 미국에서는 아무런 문제가 안 된다. 당연한 것으로 여긴다.
합격생을 보면 미국 43개 주에서 배출됐다. 국제학생은 56개국 출신으로 골고루 합격을 했다. 이는 각 대학들이 어느 정도 비율을 맞춘다.
미국 시민권자 혹은 영주권자로 유색 인종 비율이 50%였다.
여학생 비율은 54%였다. 남학생보다 합격자가 많았다.

Penn accepts 15% of early decision applicants to Class of 2025, a record low

Penn accepted a record-low 15% of early decision applicants to the Class of 2025, a significant decrease from last year's 19.7%.
This year, 7,962 students applied through the University's early decision program, a 23% increase from last year's 6,453 applicants. Penn offered admission to 1,194 students, which will comprise about half of the Class of 2025.

Last year was the first time in nearly a decade Penn's ED acceptance rate rose from the year prior — the University admitted 19.7% of applicants to the Class of 2024, an uptick from the then record-low 18% of applicants admitted to the Class of 2023.
Penn Admissions made a number of notable reforms to the application process in light of the COVID-19 pandemic — including making SAT and ACT scores optional and offering campus tours on virtual platforms.
About 38% of total early decision applicants chose not to include standardized testing as part of their application, Vice Dean and Director of Admissions John McLaughlin told The Daily Pennsylvanian. Of those admitted, 24% did not include test scores.
He added that the increase in applicants may in part be attributed to this year's test-optional policy.
"I do think that test optional is a factor in terms of what we were overseeing, in terms of that increase," McLaughlin said. "We were really encouraged that we were able to respond in a meaningful way to students, regardless of whether or not testing was part of their file."
McLaughlin will serve as the Interim Dean of Admissions starting in January, taking over for current Dean of Admissions Eric Furda, who is slated to depart his position on Dec. 31.
Penn's acceptance rate by class year
The admitted students hail from 43 states as well as Washington, D.C., Guam, and Puerto Rico, with the highest number of students coming from Pennsylvania, New York, and California. Thirteen percent of the accepted ED students are international, hailing from 56 countries, an increase from last year’s 50 countries.
Of those who are United States citizens or permanent residents, 50% identify as students of color, down from 52% last year. Fifty four percent of admitted students identify as female. Twelve percent of admitted students are first-generation college students, a slight increase from last year’s 10%. Twenty two percent of this year's admitted students have a parent or grandparent who attended Penn. Last year, 24% of admitted students were legacy applicants.
This is the last early decision application cycle led by Furda, who is slated to end his 12-year tenure as Penn's Dean of Admissions in December. Students were saddened by the announcement of his departure, calling him a "legend on campus."
"Penn Admissions is much larger than me. I'm really proud that it is in such strong shape," Furda said. "I expect that there would be a steady hand with John in the helm as Interim Dean."
