| Does anyone know what the percentage of students were waitlisted? And if Harvard accepts 150-175 from the waitlist this year, what percent is that from the waitlist? | |

| Slightly lower than last year, unless "around 78%" is a statistically insignificant difference from "around 79.2%" | |

| P value is 0.3647, so it's considered statistically insignificant.
Can you tell I had my AP Stats exam on Tuesday? >.>
It's interesting that the loss of early action and the financial aid initiative didn't have a larger influence on the yield. But maybe they canceled each other out? | |

| That "around 78%" will go up as they take the 150-175 students off the waitlist.

| Does anyone know why Harvard's yield rate did not go up from last year but actually decreased a little, despite the generous financial initiative?
Of course, I'm not complaining about this potential for us wait-listed people. I'm just curious. | |
