<p>Preliminary numbers recorded from decision letters sent in last week show favorable responses from 1,085 of the 2,150 admitted students.</p>

<p>“It’s been a great year for us,” said Dean of Admissions Karl Furstenberg, who added that the admissions office was concerned that this year’s yield rate would be too high. “Every year gets more and more competitive … and for Dartmouth to continue to attract a large pool and then to maintain the yield and bring in a group that’s as strong and diverse as this is really a great result.”</p>

<p>As the numbers now stand, Furstenberg said that the admissions office does not anticipate having to use its waitlist.</p>

<p>The incoming class also appears to be slightly stronger academically than previous classes. Of the admitted students ranked by their high schools, 91.4 percent will graduate in the top 10 percent of their class.
Of minor note, women dominate the largest ever proportion of the incoming class at 51.6 percent with 35 more women currently planning to enroll than men.</p>

<p>The preliminary yield rate - subject to additions or subtractions via waitlist action - is estimated at 50.5%. </p>

<p>Last year, when all was said and done, the yield rate wound up at about 49.5%, with 2,171 admits and 1,074 matriculants, after a very nearly identical projection, in May 2005, of 1,084 matriculants from 2,150 admits.</p>

<p>If history repeats itself, there will be about 25 taken off the WL eventually.</p>
