<p>Another observation: our admit rate hasn’t gone down as much as expected. The reason is our yield also hit a record low (i.e. the number of admits hit record high). It seems like the admission has done a good job of foreseeing that. I guess they saw many more HYPS likely applying to NU than before. </p>
<p>At least our average SAT surpasses that of UPenn. I think in the mid-90s, our test score was comparable to them. But UPenn got hot and got ahead of us. While UPenn is still more selective (a lot lower admit rate), it’s nice to see our test score matches theirs now.

<p>Hopefully with the new business program and merit-based scholarships…etc, NU can do better in cross-admit battle.</p>
