U Chicago should not be on this list as almost all are admitted binding ED (ED 0, ED 1, or ED 2). Yield, therefore, is a non-issue beyond the fact that it is not closer to 100%.

“Almost everyone who goes to this school commits to attend before being admitted” means that’s it’s the #1 choice of a shitload of kids, pal.

The choice counts, the choice is significant because it’s being made BEFORE they even know if they are admitted.

Applicants are literally saying yes BEFORE they submit their application.

As they say in economics, REVEALED PREFERENCE.

Your response is rude and childish as well as based on incorrect logic.

Applying ED to U Chicago may or may not signify that U Chicago is an applicant's first choice school as it is just as likely that it reveals choice based on an applicant's best chance for admission to an elite school.

Providing a viable alternative for high achievers who would prefer a better chance of admission in exchange for abandoning the Ivy lottery is smart marketing and genius yield control.

And it is by definition their first choice since they agree to withdraw any other applications.

It’s their only choice if admitted.

“I really wanted to go to Harvard but I applied ED to Chicago” means you want to go to Chicago a lot more than Harvard. You didn’t tell Harvard you would forgo all other applications, but you told Chicago that.

Actions count- not thoughts, beliefs, or wishes.

Ha. They have ED 2 in addition to ED 1 and they fill almost their entire class with binding ED1/ED2…ummm of course that makes a high yield they have to go.

You can tell it’s not a Harvard or MIT person starting stupid threads that don’t think what OP thinks it says…

Not true. I know a few kids who got in EA. RD on the other hand...nope.

You know a few kids=statistical significance? Typical DCUM low iq post.

please calm down. most of the people on this board don't care about the academies or a mormon-only college like byu. I was wondering why USNA was included tbh.

BYU is not mormon only

I'd like some stats.

BYU is 99.5% mormon. you can google that. Those that are not LDS get in by special arrangements. This is not rocket science.

Yes, but it is a way to corral more students into ED2 after not being accepted EA. They pull out all the stops.

Penn down to 68% this year.
Columbia down to 61%.

Where do you find this

Brown's yield was 73, Columbia indeed at 61, Penn 69....

WASPs don't take many kids ED. So kids without hooks apply RD, and most of them will have multiple options.
