[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Still not explaining declining selectivity and presumable the conservatory numbers have been constant over time so numbers are declining on both fronts[/quote]

Because they have been shown to not be declining.  But you refuse to accept.

You'll see the numbers are within a fixed range over time.

You "alternative facts" people should learn that saying a lie over and over does not make it any more true.  [/quote]

No alternative facts - just the CDS.  From 2014 o 2018, admitted student % rose by about 4%.  You can back out the conservatory if you want to, but I suspect that would make the yield look even worse, as the yield experienced about a 5% drop over the same period.

Again, it is just a data point and does not necessarily reflect on whether Oberlin is or was a good school.  Just something to consider.[/quote]

Yes, alternative facts. You neglect to look at all the data, and you omit the years during that stretch where both those numbers improved.

2015 admit rate DOWN 5% from 2014
2017 yield UP 5% from 2016

Alternative facts.  And dishonest and not representative of the actual data.
