60% is a great number but stop with the "obviously most impressive." ND applicants are "obviously" extremely self-selecting. The kids I've known who have applied already know it's their #1 or near top choice. And many have "known" that since kindergarten.
Agreed. It has a cult following, not that there anything wrong with that.

Even with ED, UVA has a lower yield than UCLA, Texas, Michigan, Berkeley, and UNC. Michigan has a larger OOS percentage of students and doesn’t offer ED. It’s yield is still over 5% higher. I guess it’s a more desirable school.

Agreed! This listing is worthless.

Why is than an ordinal listing that excludes many schools? If you’re going to use sources to prove some sort of point, it’s best to copy them anccurat and not make up your own biased order.

Michigan is at 47.5%. Extremely impressive considering 1/2 of the incoming class is from OOS and there is no ED.

I’m astonished that Cornell & Tufts are as high as they are.

I was surprised to see Georgetown at only 50%, but they may be among the only on the top half of that list with no binding process.

Interesting that Davidson’s yield is near the top of SLACs. Higher than Amherst, Wesleyan, and many other NE schools. All have similar ED practices.
