[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, if AA students are over-represented in admissions but under-represented in matriculations (which they consistently are, based on your population stat and the last column of the chart), all that means is that the yield rate is lower for AA students than for the pool of admitted students as a whole. Lots of reasons why that could be true -- more offers, different preferences, financial issues.[/quote] Elite schools are desperate for even reasonably qualified URMs which is why every year you see the stories about the black kids that were admitted to all 8 ivies. So of course yield is lower because the reasonably qualified URMs get into every college to which they apply.[/quote]
