[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yield management has become more difficult under test optional policies. [b]TO applicants are more likely to yield[/b].

But, intuitively, I have a hard time with the idea that a high scoring applicant should apply TO for the purpose of gaming the yield algorithm.

Enrollment managers need better algorithms. They should be able to figure out how many high scoring applicants they need to admit in order to yield one. Looking at the past two years, they now should have at least some data.[/quote]

Can you link to that, please?[/quote]
Here is one random article:

"the share enrolling (the “yield rate”) ... is markedly higher among non-submitters (bottom of page 11, https://economics.yale.edu/sites/default/files/Forms/jack_kelly_senior_essay.pdf)

Google may pull up more articles. It makes sense, though enrollment managers didn't see it coming for high school class of 2021 and many schools ended up overenrolled that year.[/quote]
