Waitlist Chances?

<p>They’re aiming for 190 this year, 2 are from gap year, 59 are from ed.
If the yield rate is the same for guys and girls as last year we will have 93 boys and 80 girls overall, which I believe includes the ED acceptances, but not the two coming from the previous year. That totals at 175.</p>

<p>So if the yield rate stays consistent, they will have to go to the wait list.
However, I do believe the yield increased this year. They did a few unusual things this year:</p>

<ol>
<li>Decreased the amount of boys accepted by over 100</li>
<li>Slightly increase the accepted girls</li>
<li>greatly decreased the acceptance rate (mainly by accepting 135 less boys, and because the amount of applicants increased)</li>
</ol>

<p>Now, assuming the yield is the same, like I said, they will have to go to the waitlist. Since they have this option, my guess is they will more girls of the waitlist and a few boys to make the ratio 50/50.</p>

<p>However, this year, it seems there is a greater yield for girls (a majority of the facebook group is female, and same with the accepted posters on here). So they may need to take more guys off the waitlist to make it more even.</p>

<p>Obviously I don’t know the actual yield for this year, but this is my take on the matter. I believe you have a better chance getting off the waitlist this year than last year… which isn’t hard to do since there weren’t any people taken off the waitlist last year haha.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
