Half those classes are made up of people who applied ED or SCEA. So it's really not as impressive as schools that have high yields without any binding admissions.

A 61% yield puts Dartmouth as one of the highest, if not second highest, for yields among schools that offers ED. The highest is usually U'Penn. Also, Dartmouth only filled ~43% of its class with ED, compared to 50%+ at most other peers.

An 84% yield without any binding process will probably be the highest in the nation.

They are impressive yields, for sure. Not sure what examples you have which do better? [b]Stanford's yield is comparable to Harvard and its early process is restrictive[/b]. MIT's yield is quite impressive but not as high as Harvard's. U'Chicago has gamed its yield with no less than 3 early processes.

I guess I was saying that I was not impressed, but I wasn't comparing them to any particular schools. Then when I was looking online, I found out that University of Nebraska has over a 60% yield. Obviously it's a less impressive school by DCUM standards, but I'm personally more impressed by it's yield. I would compare RD yield at ED/SCEA schools to other schools overall yields. This would put Dartmouth at 40-something percent, which while good, is not in a league of it's own[/quote].]

Stanford and Harvard are exactly the same--both use SCEA (single choice early action), so neither is particularly restrictive, except that you can't apply to a ton of other places. [/quote]
