[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will be very curious to see yield rates this year. These acceptance numbers are insane. There can’t possibly be that many prospective freshmen. [/quote]

I think yields will come down across the board for everyone but the top 5 or so schools. Not enough acceptances to go around and it's the same people who keep getting admitted. Predicting a lot of wait-list activity. No way is what happened this year sustainable for the future without upping the reliance on ED[/quote]

Couldn't it just be deluge of international and illegal immigrant applicants?[/quote]

N[b]o, I work at JHU and the administration informed us that international applicants are down. This seems to be widespread. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/02/us/international-enrollment-drop.html

DACA is also down according to a friend at UMD.[/quote][/b]

Actually not true, overall international applications are down 3%, however they are UP 15% in Computer science and engineering.  There is less interest in other fields.  And of course the more elite the institution, the more clamour to get in by international students.  http://www.browndailyherald.com/2018/03/14/fewer-international-science-engineering-grad-students-u-s/[/quote]
