[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1100 x 0.75  x 0.4 = 330 (not too far off)[/quote]

50% off?

1100 * .5 Offered * .4 accepted = 220[/quote]

I'm trying to make sense of these threads and to compare. PPs, what does the .75 and .4 refer to?  [/quote]

1100 Applications * 50% Admissions Offered * 40% acceptance rate = 220 Students in Freshman Class[/quote]

[b]Thanks for explaining the formula. But the numbers used as a base and for number who accepted the offer of admission are too low. 
   [/b]The [b]acceptance letter said more than 1100 applications were received.  [/b]. [b]I've seen both 1110 and 1150 on DCUM,[/b] who knows what's correct? Let's use 1110.

Last night at SJC meeting we were told there are  [b]320[/b] students committed to the class of 2020.  
This represented a [b]7% increase [/b]in the number of students who accepted.

So....using your formula... 
1110 *  .50  Admissions Offered  555 accepted * .40 acceptance rate = 226 too low!  
1110 * .75 offered admissions = 832 - seems way too high * .47 acceptance rate = 391 students, too high  
1110 * .65 offer rate or 721 offers for target class of 300?  * .47 acceptance rate  339 - close  too high a number ...OR 
1110 * .40 offer rate or 440 accepted * .75 acceptance = 333 - close still over 330 but number of applications may be higher too.  
 
I give up!

If 320 is correct, they just upped the class size by close to 50%.  I have a hard time believing that, unless their yield was WAY over what they expected.

What was the meeting last night? [/quote]
