<p>Don't get you hopes up gang! If like last year 70% of the class of 2013 has been filled by ED candidates leaving about 175 spots for the rest of us to fight over. They didn't explain that on the tour!!!</p>

<p>Thanks. That’s good info. </p>

<p>We’re attending the Junior Open House day after tomorrow. I’ll listen closely to anything regarding ED and RD.</p>

<p>Keep in mind they typically acccept at least twice as many students than will enroll. The Yield rate is another measurement schools track and measures what % of admitted students actually enroll.</p>

<p>Anybody know F&M’s typical yield?</p>

<p>Post # 3 by dasx3 has a link to the common data set</p>

<p>Overall yield was 29%.</p>

<p>Since my daughter has been interested in F&M, I’d been reading the archived threads. Since the issue of the 70% ED enrollment came up, I vaguely recalled reading something from a student who claimed to have originally applied RD, but was contacted by F&M and offered what apparently was some kind of scholarship incentive to switch his application to ED.</p>

<p>The quote is the thread, which mainly consists of venting by a couple of disgruntled (ex)F&M students for whom apparently F&M wasn’t a good fit. Here is the link–post #9 caught my attention: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/franklin-marshall-college/36924-tell-me-about-f-m.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/franklin-marshall-college/36924-tell-me-about-f-m.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I wonder if F&M actually does contact particular RD applicants to encourage them, with FA incentives possibly, to switch to ED?</p>

<p>If it makes you guys feel any better, I got a full ride, and my stats aren’t exceptional.</p>
