Thank you, sansculottes. I suspected that could be the case, but the z-list admits should be counted as next year’s stats, like last year’s z-list admits were counted as this year’s admits.
The question is if the total waitlist admit number includes the z-list. If H puts the waitlist number on their site, they may want to seperate this H’s own practice from the common known waitlist admission.
H has been missing the CDS reports recently. So, we could not tell what the “common” practice is at H.
On paper, H has 80% in yield this year. The lower yield compared with the year before may be due to fewer admits in EA.
As I discussed somewhere else, H needs to be consistent like what S did. Yield and admit rate are conflict of interests. The ratio of yield to admit rate will be higher when both are moving in the favorable directions to the school. Arbitrarily manipulate one of them would affect the other and hence the ratio may not be improving.
