[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The common app has heralded an era where students can and do apply to over 10+ colleges if desired. This drives applications numbers way up in general, but yield lowers as students can only choose one school to attend.[/quote] But many of the top colleges are reporting increased yield. Every Ivy except Princeton had a higher yield this year. Duke reached a 56% yield high from usually 49-52%. Rice and Georgetown's yield went up. Bowdoin, Middlebury, and Pomona also had record yields. Mudd and Pitzer reached a 47% yield from 40% just last year. A ton of schools are unaccounted at the moment due to unreleased data, but I'd expect to see a similar trend at many schools. Yields are rising at the most selective schools because students aren't getting into multiple places (due to increased apps and falling acceptance rates). Emory's overall yield slightly went up this year (from 26.7% last year to 27.1% this year). [/quote]
