[quote=Anonymous]Each school has a "yield", which is the percentage of admitted students that matriculate. Some schools have very high yields. Fro Harvard 80% of admitted students chose to matriculate. So, even a dramatic increase in applications does not lead to an increase in acceptances. Therefore the accepted percentage will decrease (similar number of acceptances over larger number of applications). For a school like Emory (8% yield for class 2016), they need to dramatically increase the number of admissions in order to fill the class. So, as their applications go up, this is largely offset by an increase in admissions, leaving admission percent unchanged. [/quote]
