[quote=Anonymous]Some colleges can and do manipulate yield % by relying more on binding Early Decision (where yield is essentially 100%). UPenn and UChicago both rely on Early Decision more than many to fill a greater percentage of their class. Schools like Stanford, Harvard, Yale and Princeton yield stats become more impressive once you factor in that they don't have Early Decision (rather Single Choice Early Action which is non-binding). So comparing UPenn's yield to Princeton's is comparing apples to oranges. If UPenn didn't have early decision, their yield would likely be in the 40%s. Also, UVA doesn't have early decision which makes a fair comparison with early decision schools difficult. It would be useful if someone could post % of students accepted via Early Decision at the schools that have Early Decision.[/quote]
