@Hoggirl, @Multiverse7 and @SocalPapa,
Last year’s class size was 1732. So, If the number, 1798 of incoming students, is correct, then this year’s class size could be planned to expand to around 1800, which is about 100 students more, I guess.
Of those 1798 students, 25-30 of them could be transfer students, so the actual number from REA/RD could be 1798-30=1768.
They might as well have accepted about 20-30 students from the waitlist, in this case they could have accepted 2063+30=2093 students in total.
The yield by this calculation should be 1768/2093=84.4%, which is still really high for me. I am not sure how to think about this. Oh, yeah, Stanford is making headlines in all fronts.
