I’m thinking they like DI, and don’t like being seen as backups, because low yield means either (or both):

  • You have to admit more kids than you would like, pumping up the admit rate, which hurts in some rankings, and/or
  • You have to scramble to fill your class through the waitlist – low yield means more work.

Yeah, they admitted 688 off the WL in the last CDS. I wonder what the WL yield is. I’m guessing less than the RD wait because hopefully most had committed elsewhere by WL time.

I’d like to stay in the Northeast if possible. My parents figure they would either pay high tuition for a top school if I got in, or I could go to a state school for cheap (probably with some merit scholarship), which I’m also okay with as a backup.
