[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Notre Dame has a 9 percent admissions rate. And a 64 percent yield rate, which is extraordinary. It is not a cakewalk for anyone. And the students that do apply really want to go there. It's no one's back-up. But it is a unique school - history, Catholicism, location, football. No one randomly shotguns an app to Notre Dame. It's a school that really values service and community. High stats alone are not enough for Notre Dame.

When it comes to the "easiest" admissions to the most selective private universities, you have to look at ED and recent history. If applying ED, WashU and Chicago like the private school students that apply early. And I'd add Columbia right now because a lot of smart students are choosing other options today. I'm sure Columbia will come back in the future, but at this moment in time it is the easiest Ivy when it comes to admissions. [/quote]

ND is extraordinary, but it IS some kids' backup school (but by no means is it a safety school).  With a 64% yield rate, that means that 36% of admits went elsewhere.  My guess would be that 30% went to HYMPS, and 6% went somewhere that offered them free tuition. [/quote]
