Is this list intended to be comprehensive? I'm assuming it's just a selection of schools aggregated by that website?

For example, UF accepts ~ 15K applicants, and enrolls ~ 6,500 of them.

Does that not result in a 43% yield rate?

I was wondering the same thing. Interesting that UF is missing from the list.

Weird list. Where's Michigan and UF? Georgia Tech?

Why does Rice seem low. Don't know why some of you overrate this school

[Anonymous]

You added other LACs but intentionally left of Amherst because it's lower than the others at 39%.

Because you are privy to its “true” ranking, right? Riiiiiiiight. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

I get the Rice number. It’s a great school and it was the perfect fit for my oldest but we’re in New England and in the end she couldn’t pull the trigger on moving two flights from home. A lot of kids apply from our school but only two have attended that I know of.

NYU is missing. Expect 50-60%

Notre Dame obviously the most impressive here: no ED and a brand of EA that is less restrictive than that of SCEA schools (you can apply to other EA schools at Notre Dame).

Publics should be broken down by IS and OOS.
