Yalies arrive - upperclassmen move them in

<p>I think they said “one of the most diverse in the University’s history” or other such weaselwords. </p>

<p>The fraction of minorities, and the fraction of the class receiving financial aid, bother declined, according to the same story.</p>

<p>I assume use of the waitlist focussed on improving these numbers somewhat.</p>

<p>As for the gridsters, see:</p>

<p>“The bitter taste of a heartbreaking – to put it mildly – triple-overtime loss to Harvard, followed by the defection of quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator Joel Lamb to that very same Crimson team, have made even the most optimistic Elis concerned that the balance of football power along the I-95 corridor has shifted to the north…”</p>

<p>There now were, reportedly, 56 taken off the waitlist, 1,879 total admits, a matriculating class of 1,318, and a yield rate of 70.1% - slightly lower than last year.</p>

<p>It is not clear how many of the claimed applicants withdrew or did not complete their applications. The 21,101 application number differs from the 20,903 number reported elsewhere. The difference may be applications that were withdrawn or not completed. According to a third report, there were 21,099 applications. <a href=“http://ivysuccess.com/yale_2010.html[/url]”>ivysuccess.com is for sale;

<p>Maybe they are getting more applications than they can accurately count - after all, applications to Yale have increased by 70% since 1999, much faster than any of the other Ivies. For example, since then applications to Princeton have gone up by less than 20%. Yale has had the lowest acceptance rate in the Ivy League for two of the past years, and in terms of other measures, they are leading the league by an even wider margin. </p>

<p>In other words, I think the Yale admissions office is hiring.</p>

24

<p>Accuracy <em>has</em> been a chronic problem in recent years, particularly in “forgetting” to subtract from the number of “applicants” those whose applications were withdrawn or incomplete.</p>

25

<p>I think the better question is: Who the hell cares what the frekaing yield rate is? This is an article about us fishies being helped to be moved in. Go ■■■■■ somewhere else, Byerly.</p>

26

<p>Exactly, Ferny.</p>

27

<p>Clearly Yale’s “yield rate” is a stat “poster X” wants to play down, since it apparently declined a bit this year!</p>

28

<p>It’s a hard blow to take. </p>

<p>Maybe Yale lost cross-admits to Stanford this year again.</p>

29

<p>I don’t think anyone cares about tiny percentage points in the yield rate, especially Yale, which consistently is the most selective university in the United States.</p>

<p>And apparently Yale’s admissions office is doing a bang-up job, given that, despite the fact Yale is one of the smallest Ivies in terms of enrollment, Yale students received 4 Marshall and 3 Rhodes Scholarships last year, while no other Ivy League school produced more than 2 Marshall or more than 1 Rhodes Scholar.</p>

30

<p>As usual, the overwhelming majority of those admitted to both schools chose Harvard over Yale.</p>

<p>As usual, the same arguments and points are repeated over and over again by the same people.</p>
