[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Sorry, my oldest is a sophomore so I’m just learning how this works. They admitted over 6000 early for about 3700 spots. I understand expecting a low yield but that still doesn’t leave much room for Regukar decision candidates. [[/b]/quote]

Dear sophomore parent - in my humble experience (now two kids, and last time through, two years ago), the entire game is now played out at the EA, ED, SCEA point.  Both my children got into all their schools at that point.  Both they and their friends were generally denied at RD but admittedly were going for Ivy schools at that point.  If you can, front load the applications as much as you can to EA.  Schools cherry pick at that point and tend to front load, especially if they think the student will actually show up (thereby increasing their yield percentage). Learn the differences between EA, ED, SCEA and what percentages each schools takes from those groups. Watch, in particular, those schools trying to increase their yield percentages by using ED1 and ED 2 (Univ of Chicago, Wash. & Lee, etc.).[/quote]
