For yield reasons, they end up accepting most everyone above 1300/1600.[/quote]

Pitt flips the approach to admissions on its head. They accept a very high percentage of qualified students with the full knowledge that only a minority will end up attending. But with a higher acceptance rate, they actually end up with a freshman class with higher stats than if they had a lower acceptance rate and pushed away potential applicants who had good stats. In other words, they get better students applying on average than they might otherwise.  [/quote]

Smart and humane.  More colleges should do this.  With USNews having dropped yield, there's not much to lose.  So grateful to schools like this for welcoming students there.[/quote]

Well, except if too many say yes and you have over-enrollment and housing problems. It's a balance.[/quote]

Never heard of Pitt having an over-enrollment problem so they probably have it down by now. [/quote]
