[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My understanding is that yield is not part of USNWR rankings. But to those who squeal that yield protection (I prefer the term management), isn't a thing - of course schools apply data to their applicants which helps them manage their yield - they have to in order to properly fill their school. There is a computer program for almost everything, why wouldn't they use one in this most vital instance. [/quote] +1 Enrollment management. Most schools use algorithms to determine if a student will enroll or not. A student who has the qualifications to get into a highly selective college is less likely to enroll in a "safety" college. All colleges do not want to under-enroll or overall enroll but schools that accept 30-70% of their applicants are especially sensitive to this issue. In other words, GMU will most likely accept a highly qualified/outstanding applicant but VT will not.[/quote]
