<p>Fwiw: this was published in the brown daily herald on nov 2 2012:</p>
<p>“The continuing attractiveness of a Brown education and a need-blind financial aid program for domestic applicants have helped keep the University’s yield rate above the national average, according to Miller. He added that 50 percent of admitted applicants who turn down the University go to one of four schools – Harvard, Princeton, Stanford University and Yale – and that 75 percent matriculate at one of these schools, another Ivy League institute, Duke University or the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.”</p>
<p>2750 students were admitted to brown in 2012, and their yield was about 56%. If you do the math, of these admitted students only about 300 chose to attend schools other than an ivy ( including Brown), Stanford, MIT or Duke.</p>
