<p>I think you mean the entire freshman class number as a percentage of fall admits = yield.</p>
<p>I’m a little curious about the information you’re seeking too. OTOH, I don’t think it’s useful at all in comparing USC to anyplace else since many other top schools use early decision to improve their “statistics”, by filling a significant percentage of the freshman class through ED (should be close to 100% yield for the ED group). USC has no ED at all. It’s an easy way for any school to improve its yield stats…just “gaming” the college ranking system in a different way. For example: Penn 47% of freshman spots filled thru ED, Columbia 45%, Northwestern 40%, just to cite a few that I came across in a quick Google search. And some schools are hoping/planning to even further increase the percentage of freshman admitted through early ED. So the “yield” comparison will become even murkier as rising yield may simply reflect this higher percentage of ED admits and nothing else.</p>
<p>Bottom line though: D is thrilled to be at USC. All the hand-wringing about rankings, admission stats is behind us and pretty irrelevant to the great experience she’s having so far. There’s no statistical measure of much of what USC has to offer. Any serious applicant needs to visit to sense the energy of USC. We only knew about USC on paper before our visit in April, and now we can’t imagine her being anywhere else!</p>
