@fbsdreams @#178: can’t remember the numbers you posted a few months ago (based on plan you were saying). But I think your ED/EDII numbers are way low:

Not sure if you are referring to 1/2 ADMITTED is ED/EDII or 1/2 ENROLLED is ED/EDII. So working through both scenarios and assuming they admitted approximately 2,200 with an expected enrollment of 1,650:

1. One Half ADMITTED means 1,100 ED/EDII (assume a 100% yield on this group for simplicity). The remaining 1,100 would be at a 50% yield (which, btw, seems reasonable):

(1,100 * 100%) + (1,100 * 50%) = 1,100 + 550 = 1,650.

Here’s the problem: 1,100 non-binding admitted means 400 EA and 700 RD. At a 2% RD admit rate, that means the RD pool is 35,000! A bit high, don’t you think?

2. One Half ENROLLED is even worse. 825 EDI/EDII means remaining non-binding would be at 60% yield (again, seems reasonable!):

(825 * 100%) + (1,375 * 60%) = 1,650.

1,375 non-binding admits means 975 RD admits so at a 2% admit rate the RD pool is 48,000!

If your ED/EDII numbers are NOT way low, then the RD admit rate that Admissions is sharing is just plain wrong.
