Most schools can attract at least 40% of their student body. Look at schools like Franklin Marshall or Occidental or whatever. They have no problem getting 50%+ of the class through EDs.
I’m not sure that given the size, Berkeley can get as many as 40% to commit in December. However, would you be surprised had it been the case?<br>
For an Asian student with good GPA, ~2100 SAT, it is hard to get into HYPSM. Nonetheless, given the option to ED to Berkeley, that profile really hits the sweet spot. Search for the sweet spot ED at Brown. They have stats break down for optimal point. </p>
<p>But that’s besidethe point. You ragged on and on about Berkeley yield when it’s actually outperforming a lot of schools which are considered more prestigious.</p>
