| timeless: I don't understand. Then the reported yield is meaningless if they were to extrapolate the data. Why 78.5%? In fact, why not just say 1%? The 78.5% is clearly based on the number of original admits who accepted the admissions offer.
Ijmom: I agree with you on that. It is very unlikely that 100% of WL admits will take up the offer, but I think the yield of WL admits will be higher, simply due to the fact that if you remained on the waitlist, it's probably because you wanted to attend Harvard if given the chance. |
