With an 11 percent increase in applications, Dartmouth awarded early admission to 400 students. Dean of Admissions Maria Laskaris '84said this year's early decision was "more selective than it's ever been." Out of the 1,428 early decision applicants, the 201 men and 199 women admitted -- 28 percent of all applicants-- comprise what Laskaris called "an academically accomplished, diverse and multitalented group of students." Early admitted students represent 37 percent of the expected Class of 2012, with the rest of the class admitted through regular decision in April. In a memorandum sent to the applicants' guidance counselors, Laskaris said that of the 1,428 early applicants, 526 were deferred and 471 were denied admission.
