That is the yield with ED included. Without ED it is in the low to mid 30’s. I don’t believe colleges should include ED when calculating yield, as it skews the stat making the yields look larger than they actually are.

Also, Chicago does not have ED, only EA, so it’s unfair to compare the two without first removing Northwestern’s ED students. I’m sure Chicago’s yield would also rise if it had 100% yield protected students in the mix too.
