[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted the 90K number - I got that from an admissions officer at NE who said it in a webinar for admitted students we attended this week[/quote]

Also from a guy on Reddit,

"During a meeting on housing a few days ago, Northeastern reps stated their goal for the class of 2026 is 2500 students. 
91k people applied, with a 33% yield rate, creating around 7500 acceptances, which works out to 8.25% acceptance rate."

2,500?!  Holy crap. That doesn't make any sense. Normal class size around 4,000+[/quote]

This is due to the over-enrollment last year.
Much more  students committed than expected last year.

Also yields has been 20-25%, but not estimating over 30% [/quote]

Apparently the yield last year was over 30% (when historically it had been 20-25%)...hence the overenrollment last year.  Now they have a surge in applicants plus the need for a smaller class (because of the overenrollment last year) plus a new/higher yield estimate...that's why the acceptance rate is going to tank this year.[/quote]

oh typo.  
I meant to say 'now estimating over 30%'. 
They are estimating 33% this year.

Almost all the schools have increased applications, but Northeastern is one of the few school that has increased yield as well.
So students are not just adding to the apply list, but acually choose to attend.
