<p>College–
the acceptance rate can be a little higher due to the fact that Vanderbilt anticipates that not all admitted students will matriculate. It goes along the lines of “yield,” which all schools that are conscious of their admissions like to play with. They want to make sure that they completely fill a class by accepting more than they can hold (at least from what i’ve heard, i’m no admissions officer), and then go to the waitlist if they have room still.</p>
<p>I’m not an admissions officer or expert… by any stretch. So that’s just my thoughts on the matter.</p>
