[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love the weeding-out aspect of the Why Us essay — makes perfect sense that the admission resources should be devoted to those who actually want what that school offers. But I’ve always wondered if this is in tension with the very real incentive to drive down admission rates. On some level, doesn’t the school also want as many people as possible applying? How do schools think about those conflicting incentives — right-fit applicants vs. maximum number of applicants? [/quote] Are they just happy to get the applications from the people they know that have no chance? [b]They’ll put them in the “auto reject” pile, but it still helps their yield?[/b][/quote] No direct effect on yield, but will have a directly affect admit rate.[/quote]
