[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reality is that even though acceptance rates are much higher ED, the vast majority of acceptances are offered RD, even at Ivies. Mathematically has to be true. Even if a class is filled ED, remember there is 100% yield ED. So to fill the other half of the class, even if RD yield is as high as 50%, a school needs to accept 2x as many applicants in RD vs ED.[/quote]

Outside of the tippy top (HYPSM), RD yield is usually in 30s to 40s.[/quote]

The T20 yields are pretty high these days.  RD yield at Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, and Penn is ~50%.[/quote]

There is waitlist manipulation compared to others. Cornell takes about 10% of
class off waitlist compared to other top privates which you know has significantly higher yield than a regular rd admit.  You’d have to investigate this for other ivies too.

For most other top privates that dont take much or any off waitlist, it is about 30-40%.[/quote]

Compared to others?  Chicago is the yield and waitlist manipulation king...they hide their ED and waitlist stats for that reason.  Columbia also hides their waitlist stats.[/quote]

Yes, they are examples too. Cornell is far from the only outlier[/quote]
