Northwestern's acceptance rate unusually low?

<p>The 18% acceptance rate was for last year’s class (FINALLY updated on College Board). This year’s will be even lower.</p>

<p>The yield for the 40% accepted ED will be ~100%. The yield for the remaining 60% will be lower (maybe nearer the traditional 40%?) so they will admit a proportionally higher number to fill the remaining RD slots.</p>
