First of all, yield is tied to acceptance rate. If a schools has a high yield, it will have to accept less students and will thus have a lower acceptance rate. And acceptance rate is used in rankings. Secondly, WashU can only give out scholorships to people that applied for them. A lot of the top candidates don’t feel like taking the time to write those extra essays because they know it is highly unlilely they will attend the school in the first place.
