The most recently available official admissions yield (36%) (from IPEDS: https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/datacenter/) for Hopkins is from the class starting in Fall 2013, so we won’t have official numbers regarding the impact on yield for this coming class until over a year from now – although we might be able to get some idea from preliminary numbers. In general, yield at JHU has been improving:
2006-07 – 32
2007-08 – 30
2008-09 – 30
2009-10 – 31
2010-11 – 32
2011-12 – 35
2012-13 – 35
2013-14 – 36*
My guess is that the riots, etc. in Baltimore will have a significant impact, especially since they occurred right when students were making their final enrollment decisions. If I had to hazard a guess, I’d set the over-under for the class of 2019 at perhaps 27%. Time will tell.
