[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t imagine there’s a crazy high market for people who want to go to a tiny school in the middle of nowhere Vermont, pretty much the only reason people go to Williams is cause the rankings are nice. [/quote] Not everyone wants the same thing. What a revelation! [/quote] And yet, we can probably infer from the 17% yield rate what people want, usually! It’s almost like you didn’t make a point [/quote] Unlike some other schools (ahem, Colby), Middlebury seems to accept only the best applicants, many of whom it knows it will lose to Ivys, Williams, Amherst, etc. They could certainly accept more average kids and increase yield. Their financial aid also isn't as robust as some wealthier peers, so they'll lose those battles as well, all else being equal. Perhaps they need to hire more cunning marketers or eliminate the application fee to drive up numbers (as some peers have done). [/quote]
