<p>One thing that will skew the relative ratio of students by state is that some students will matriculate at a school other than Harvard even though they were accepted there. I know that in Colorado in the class of 2012 there were 16 students accepted although there are only 8 in the class. That’s exactly a 50% yield. I strongly suspect that Harvard’s yield in New England is much greater than 50% (probably more like 90%). In our area there are many more applications to Stanford than Harvard and more families with ties to Stanford rather than Harvard.</p>
