<p>The Yield/Admit ratio is a reflection of what the school wants: low admit rate and high yield. Besides HYPSM and Chicago etc, schools like Columbia have EDs so they locked a big chunk of kids for 100% yield.</p>

<p>The Projected Yield/Admit Ratios for Class of 2014</p>
<ol>
<li>Harvard – 76.5/6.9 = 11.08</li>
<li>Stanford – 69.9/7.2 = 9.71</li>
<li>Yale – 66.8/7.5 = 8.91</li>
<li>Princeton – 58.9/8.2 = 7.18</li>
<li>MIT – 63.9/9.7 = 6.59</li>
</ol>
<p>I am using last year’s yields, and I think that this year’s yields will be grossly lower.</p>
