They emailed us this information.

Now they seemed to want about 206 students based on the number of admits and expected yield. As these 208 get off the waitlists at other colleges and make the worst decisions of their life, I think people on our waitlist will start getting calls.

Nice job, only two students off from the desired yield.

It's weird to be actually part of a statistic now. I mean, not really, but dude, I'm one of only 32 from the Northeast.

Wow, I just got a perspective on how small Harvey Mudd really is. I count for 0.5% of my graduating class. Dude.

I'm also one of the 32 Northeast students! High five!

Any idea what other colleges have not released their waitlist decisions yet?

Nope, 208 admitted students--see Seiken's post (number 3 on this thread).

Talk about crossroads...
I'm sorry, but I haven't been too impressed by Berkeley's undergrad program. I have several friends over there and have sat in classes while visiting and it is like night and day in contrast to Mudd. That is just my opinion, however.

Is Mudd worth the $50k if you have any means of paying for it (even loans)? Yes. Every cent...as long as you are hear for the learning.
