<p>Last year for the Class of 2011, there were fewer offers of appontment because the yield rate was higher than normal. That means that fewer candidates turned down offers of appointment than usual.</p>
<p>In previous years, approximately 1500 offers were extended to yield a class of approximately 1220. Last year only 1400 offers were extended to meet that same requirement. The result was fewer offer of appointment to those on the waiting list.</p>
