主题：【原创】Ivy plus MIT, CalTech undergraduates -- 虎王2006

How many students does MIT accept each year?

General

First-year applications 20,075

First-year admits 1,457

Percentage admitted 7.3%

(keep in mind the admits number is not the same as enrollment, enrollment number is always smaller)

the total enrollment number of each school refers to all FOUR years (freshmen, sophomore, junior, senior), and assuming each year enrollment stays about the same, this number should be divided by 4 to show yearly number.

--------------------------------------------------

in original post I have included Ivy schools and MIT, Caltech as our friend mentioned which schools to be counted. For some reason I added Stanford to this crowd, so my number 18415 should deduct 1749 to fit exactly.

The number under discussion is 16666.

four times of this number is 66660, that is very closer to our friend's number, but unfortunately, that is for all FOUR years' of undergraduate students of these schools. if our friend change the argument from

全美常青藤+MIT、caltech几个学校每年十几万招生,

to this

全美常青藤+MIT、caltech几个学校4年十几万招生, well it will get much closer,

or

全美常青藤+MIT、caltech几个学校4年6.8万招生, it will almost be correct.

每年 vs 4年
