I'm surprised to see VT, UMD and W&M yields so low. It looks like a lot applicants use those schools as a safety.

So almost a direct correlation between admissions rates and yields (information would have been more helpful reported as below):

Johns Hopkins 37,826 applied, 2,739 admitted, [b]acceptance rate 7%[/b], 1,405 enroll, [b]yield of 51%[/b]
Georgetown 26,638 applied, 3,257 admitted, [b]acceptance rate 12%[/b], 1,574 enroll, [b]yield of 48%[/b]
UVA  50,941 applied, 9,504 admitted, [b]acceptance rate 19%[/b], 4,030 enroll, [b]yield of 42%[/b]
W&M 17,548 applied, 5,741 admitted, [b]acceptance rate 33%[/b],1,619 enroll, [b]yield of 28%[/b]
UMD 56,637 applied, 25,209 admitted, [b]acceptance rate 45%[/b], 5,783 enroll,[b] yield of 23%[/b]
VT 47,101 applied, 26,923 admitted,  [b]acceptance rate 57%[/b],  7,196 enroll,[b] yield of 27%[/b]

Not surprising that kids are more likely to attend the schools that are harder to get into. With acceptance rates of almost half or more, you can easily see that UMD and VT would be safety schools so many, hence lower yields. [/quote]
