[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the article about Trinity College:

There were two numbers that Pérez knew he needed to hit on May 1, the last day that admitted students could accept or reject Trinity’s offer of admission. The first number was the size of the class, which had to be as close as possible to 600 students. The second number, even more pressing, was the combined tuition revenue those 600 students needed to bring in. And back in February, Trinity’s board of trustees decided on the tuition target for the class of 2021: $19 million.

They need a certain amount of revenue which means an average across all students or a certain number of full pay for example.

For the OP, imagine a series of buckets of applicants, some by geography or gender or grades or athletes or full pay, the schools need a basic amount from each bucket to make a class. So your student may be great, but if they need a full ride and there are not spots left, it can be tough. The article shows how this works at one point and is worth your time.[/quote]

This is interesting.  Does the Trinity scenario apply to HYPS type of schools?  I.e., Do the very top schools also have the "two numbers" that Admissions need to hit?[/quote]

It doesn’t apply to need blind schools at all[/quote]

It actually does for who they take off the wait list.[/quote]
