[quote=Anonymous]I’ll agree that a 80% or 90% yield rate is highly unlikely. But one way schools can and do affect yield rates is to heavily weight a high likelihood of attending in the Admissions process. This is one reason they want to know “Where else are you applying?” Those who refuse to answer this question or who artfully dodge it take the risk of having the Admissions people assign a probability of attending if accepted number to their application. Offering acceptance to those who are extremely likely or almost guaranteed to attend drives up yield rates. It also increases the likelihood that the student and family will be happy at the school over the time they are there.[/quote]
