[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what is causing the over-enrollment at these schools? Presumably, the school chooses X+Y number of applicants, with the understanding that only X will enroll. Why do we think that the Y is enrolling there too? Most of the schools listed are good schools so it's unreasonable to think that the Y didn't get in anywhere else. [/quote] Determining Yield is a challenge in normal years. With Covid and Test optional, the number of applicants at most T50 schools has greatly increased. This means admission rates are much lower. Makes it much more challenging to guess how many will attend, and no school wants to under enroll. Last year Northeastern assumed their normal yield (25%), but got over 35%. That has created problems for the next 4 years due to that over enrollment. Also means they attempted to have a much smaller class of 2026, but who knows if they achieved that or not[/quote]
