Case Western ranking is good, but why the admission rate is so high?

Bottom line, it’s simple math: if you only get 9,300 applicants and your yield is only 16.1%, you’re going to need to admit an awful lot of those who apply into order to fill the seats in your freshman class.

<p>It’s a little bit of vicious circle, isn’t it ? I mean, low-yield schools need to admit more students, leading to higher acceptance rates and, therefore, less prestige, lower ranking, etc. That in turn translates into lower yields.</p>
