60% of acceptees choose other schools. 40% yield rate tells me that people are using UVA as their safety. I know my kid did. [/quote]

That's not what a low yeild means. Only 12 schools have yeild rates above 50 percent. [/quote]

That isn't correct.  There are quite a few.  But schools can get to a high yield a couple of ways.  They can be such a strong brand that most accepted enroll (e.g. Harvard, Stanford), or fill a niche where most who apply are sure they would want to go there (e.g. BYU).

Most schools have had declining yields because kids apply to more schools now.  UVA's has gone from 53% in 2005 to 38% for 2017.
