Stanford University, which has a nonbinding early-action process, accepted 10.2% of its early applicants, or 743 students, according to the Stanford Daily. That's a 0.6% decrease from last year's early-admission rate. MIT accepted 625 of its 6519 early-decision applicants for a 9.6% acceptance rate.
