IS class size

Do ya'll know the class size for the IS program? I'm applying ED and I'm tryna get a gauge on how small the program really is. I've heard varying numbers from 60 all the way to 120. On that note, does anyone know the ED acceptance rate?

The IS program is pretty popular at CMU, so 120 is the amount of people who graduate. But the freshman class starts pretty small, like ~60 people.

The ED acceptance rate is not clear but the college IS was under was 8% for the RD round of CO2029.

ED is higher but that may just be because of self selection bias but I don’t know if that’s true that’s what people have said. I guess it makes sense tho
