Why do UVA and Michigan have such low yields?

Yeah, I thought they were interesting. They aren’t exact though since I calculated my figures from your enrolled numbers (2010) divided by the accepted numbers that were posted on the TJ website (I think those were 2011). Also, I was looking at the TJ numbers from 2011 very recently while visiting friends who have a kid there, but I don’t remember the exact numbers. I just remember being astounded how many applied to UVA. Anyway, I found another post with purported 2010 figures which were slightly different from yours but still very close.

2010 enrolled colleges: TJ

Brown 3
Cal Tech 4
Carneige Mellon 14
William & Mary 56
Columbia 7
Cornell 13
Dartmouth 2
Duke 12
Georgetown 8
Harvard 6
MIT 13
Princeton 10
Rose Hulman 2
Stanford 7
West Point 2
Naval Academy 1
UC/Berkley 4
University of MD 5
University of PA 4
UVA 106
VA Tech 31
Washington Univ./St. Louis 5
Yale 7

To really bring this back to the original point of the post (or closer to it). This kid had a 2370 or 2380 SAT and was deferred at Mich.
