[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nice list. The obvious point that the data informs is how attractive the school is to top students.  Notre Dame is the clear top choice among Catholics.

Northeastern has the same EDI and EDII as BU but a much higher yield.

Rice and Harvey Mudd are question marks.  Maybe Harvey Mudd has a crossover with Cal Tech?  Rice one would think would be higher, especially because they do ED.

Among publics, UVA is right in line with its peers.  [/quote]

But, what percentage of its class does each school take ED? That is the real question.  You can't compare all ED schools in desirability just because they have ED.[/quote]

exactly. UChicago needs a big asterisk next to it. Although they aren't transparent about the data (wonder why??) it is known they take nearly their entire class ED1 ED2 ED3 (waitlist). Their RD acceptance rate by design is less than 1%. These tactics give the appearance that the school is more selective and desirable than it truly is. Would love to know the yield of their RD admits (non waitlist) That would be more telling[/quote]
