Never mind…I found the article online. Looks to me that they are going to have to admit more than half of the 3500 applicant they have postponed already if they want to reach the 5700 target admission #. In an article in the Milwaukee paper (posted earlier) it says that 21000 have applied and they have admitted 7800 and postponed 3500. Last year they received about 25500 applications and had a yield rate of 43% so it looks to me that they will have to admit a total of about 13200 to get a yield of 5700. If they already admitted 7800 they have to admit 5400 more kids. If they get 4000 more applications and admit 50% of those that is 2000 kids …so now you are up to admitting 9800 kids…so you might take a lot of kids off the postponed list??? I would love to know how many kids they postponed last year…seems like a lot of kids are getting postponed this year.
