<p>kenyanpride: I don’t think Parchment has many “facts.” So, UChicago “beating all except HYPSM” according to Parchment isn’t a fact, just as UChicago losing cross admits to Duke and UPenn isn’t a fact. Heck, according to Parchment Penn splits cross admits with Yale 50/50, and also takes 75% from Dartmouth. The numbers just don’t seem to pass the sniff test. </p>
<p>Outside of the tippy top, I don’t think yield indicates anything much between the next ~10 schools. Schools can manipulate yield figures in various ways to get to very respectable total figures (e.g. between 40 - 60%). Outside of the tippy top, students can generally select based on fit (whatever that fit may be, e.g. location, curriculum, etc.). So Columbia, may remain quite “hot” given its location, Cornell may struggle a bit on that front, and so on and so forth.</p>
