<p>Interesteddad, how do you know about the yield? Is it from how many they said they admitted in April and December?</p>
<p>One interesting fact: there was one time a talk here about how many chose Swarthmore over HYPS in this very forum and some Harvard parents visited and made comments here. This is just one person I know about, but a kid my son and his roommates hosted chose Swarthmore over Harvard. My son and his roommates went out of their way to make sure he loved his RTT experience. They really liked him. He is now living in the same room (and in fact the same bed) as my son used to last year. Just an interesting fact, and please don’t flame me for mentioning this. Harvard is a world class university and I mean no disrespect! Just an observation…there are a few people who actually do that.
There is also my son’s roommate this year (a junior majoring in Chinese language and some other subject) who chose Swarthmore over Harvard.
