In addition to what Dylan posted you can get info about previous classes by reviewing Dartmouth's Common Data Sets.

Basic information about Dartmouth is provided in the Common Data Set, a survey that is used by several college guides.

ED yield only 95%?

saila · 11-26-2005, 03:18 PM

That's fairly common. A few students drop out of their ED agreement every yeat because they didn't receive enough fin. aid, etc.

mathwiz · 11-26-2005, 03:19 PM

A few? 5% seems like more than a few, but the explanation seems reasonable.

What happens to them?

saila · 11-26-2005, 03:34 PM

It is 5%, but that's also only 19 kids, that's not terribly many. I assume they end up applying to other places RD, and then are ultimately tempted too much by merit money someplace else. The ethical and legal ramifications of opting out of your ED contract has been discussed on a few other boards I believe. While technically I think it is a legal, binding, contract, I have never read any stories on CC about someone being sued by the school/getting in trouble for not attending.

Newbyreborn · 11-26-2005, 08:31 PM

but i thought you can't back out of ED, it's a binding contract right?

Xanatos · 11-26-2005, 09:50 PM

You can back out if you demonstrate that the financial aid package you received is in sufficient for you to attend and it is impossible for you to pay the whatever the college expects you to pay. However, no college in their right mind (which is all of them) will let you do this so you can go apply to their chief rivals. Ivy League schools will only let you out of the contrat on the condition that you attend a cheaper state college. This has been discussed on CC before.
