<p>As I say, UChicago’s yield rate, as with so many other indicators (retention rate, graduation rate, admit rate) has been improving steadily over time. Yes, UChicago has plenty of room to grow its yield rate, but I actually think this is a good thing.</p>
<p>If UChicago were like UPenn with 31,200 apps and a 62% yield rate and a 12.6% admit rate, I would say UChicago had maxxed out, as Penn pretty much has.

<p>But UChicago is getting close to a 12.6 admit rate this year --but is doing it with only 25,000 applications and a 41% yield rate. So it is much more conceivable that UChicago can improve its admit rate and yield rate in the short term–relative to other top schools.</p>
<p>(Of course, over the LONG run, perhaps all of the top schools will continue to show improvement in the decades to come.)</p>
