<p>Is the yield at Holy Cross “strong”?</p>
<p>Last year – total yield was 30%. This was supported by the school accepting nearly 40% of its class through early decision. Yield on those offered admission through regular decision was only 21% (note: based on common data set). </p>
<p>From what I have read – 25% of the HC class are D1 athletes, “over 10%” are children of alumni. That leaves a relatively low level of positions in the class (less than 500) for others without those qualifications. Seems like they accept students for the balance of the class with very strong academic credentials (perhaps HC viewed as a safety for many?) – and can manage the numbers with a relatively low yield.</p>
