Also… Let’s do some math. You haven’t argued the # of applications. 23,000 applicants to CAS. Assume 24% acceptance rate. That’s what? 5,520. Yield at NYU is roughly? Common data set for NYU for 2008-2009 is 37%. I believe last I saw it was closer to 39% for this past year. Average 38% yield means… 2,097 students. Which is exactly 1/4 of the CAS student population. So yes, the acceptance rate would in fact have to be 24% for the incoming freshmen class. Unless you want argue that the number of applications and yield rate are wrong too?
