[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regular Decision Yields (% of students admitted RD who choose to attend) of top 5 SLACs: Pomona- 43.4% Williams- 39% Wellesley- 31.8% Amherst- 29.7% Swarthmore- 28.2% Regular Decision Yields (% of students admitted RD who choose to attend) of selected top universities: Dartmouth- 51.7% Brown- 46.5% Carnegie Mellon- 33.8% Vanderbilt- 29.4% Emory- 18.7% So the Ivies do better but the yields are similar to other top 30 universities? [/quote] Actually Ivies do a lot better. Dartmouth's yield was 73% last year. [/quote] It's the yield only among students who were accepted through Regular Decision. The 73% includes Early Decision students who have to enroll (~100% yield); colleges are relying on that more and more to bring down their acceptance rates. Regular Decision yield gives some indication to how many students choose who will likely have offers from other universities and colleges. [/quote]
