[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Davidson has a yield rate higher than Williams, Amherst, and Swarthmore, and just a tad lower than Pomona. Its yield rate handily beats most other top-rated LACs, save Bowdoin. [/quote]

Your’e neglecting the fact that Williams and Amherst only have one ED round while Davidson has two, increasing their yield 
[/quote]

Amherst would have to accept a lot of kids ED2 to make a difference because their current yield is a dreadful 39%. I say dreadful because given all the hoopla about the school, you’d think it would be much higher. [/quote]

Actually, Amherst's yield is quite good. Amherst competes with both the top LACs, the majority of which have two rounds (compared with one at Amherst) as well as with the Ivy Plus national universities for the most highly qualified students. Ivy Plus Unis have higher national and universal recognition due in part to their size, research output, and graduate programs making it more difficult for a small LAC to compete when a student is accepted to both. Being in a region with the most dense population of elite colleges also affects the yield. The WASP LACs, on the other hand, have more niche appeal to students and families who value a strong undergraduate focused education. [/quote]

NP.

Since you brought up WASP teenagers applying / admitted to Amherst, here for all to examine are the stats on the actual skin color of the  Amherst pupils:

Black 6%
Asian 12%
Latinx 16%
Multiracial 11%
White 40%
Did not report 6%
International 10%
