Unpredictability of yield is also a problem for a college that may otherwise not care too much about having a high yield rate. If yield is higher than expected, then the college has to deal with overcrowded classes, majors, dorms, etc. If the yield is lower than expected, then the college has wasted capacity and lost revenue, and may not be able to attract enough waitlist admits to attend (if it has a waitlist).
