<p>This is frightening.</p>
<p>1523/8698 = 17.6%</p>
<p>I am surprised they admitted 1523 applicants.</p>
<p>If every admitted EA is attending, how many seats will be avaliable at the RD round? None…</p>
<p>Historically Chicago has needed to admit about 3,000 students to get 1,400 to enroll.</p>
<p>Wonder what the yield will be this year (overall). Will most likely increase. Never did see what last year’s yield was. I know it was up, but not sure how much.</p>
<p>The yield last year was a bit north of 40%, I believe. This year the yield should be pretty similar.</p>
<p>Chicago admitted around 1500 EA this year, maybe around 50% of those admitted will attend, and Chicago will admit probably another 1800 or so RD, anticipating that the RD yield will be around 35-40%. (Chicago still needs to improve on RD yield a bit - most of Chicago’s peers have at least a 45-50% yield for RD admits.) </p>
<p>So, overall yield will probably be somewhere north of 40% again. Chicago should accept around 3300-3400 students for a class somewhere between 1350-1450. </p>
<p>At least 1/2 of the class will be early admits, which is interesting as well.</p>
<p>The Maroon said it was a record high yield rate but never states what it is:</p>

<p>^I can’t find the web address, but I’m pretty sure I saw an article in the maroon that claimed a 44% yield rate. Also, OP where did you get these numbers? Some of them seem unusually high. I’m quite excited to see that Chicago’s acceptance rate beat out Harvard, Brown, Columbia, and Princeton! :D</p>
<p>These numbers are from here.</p>

<p>UChicago should have a 41~42% yield for the class of 2015. They admitted 3446 (the number I remember, or 21774x15.8%=3440,very close) and (1411+45) of them matriculated.

<p>On the second page of the registrar document, it says:
New College First Year (Freshmen) Students = 1411, Transfers = 45</p>
<p>The previous year the yield rate was a record 39% and that was topped by a new record last year, as david05 mentions.</p>
<p>No doubt the yield will set a new record this year. Each year, as the admit rate drops, the yield rate rises, which helps fuel the cycle.</p>
<p>[U</a> Chicago Boasts Record Applicant Yield](<a href=“HuffPost - Breaking News, U.S. and World News | HuffPost”>U Chicago Boasts Record Applicant Yield | HuffPost College)</p>
<p>I can see right now that there will be record number of waitlisted this year so that they can wage the yield by admitting less (sub 10%?)in the RD round. EA will be the only game for this year, if the yield turn out to be 50%…</p>
<p>The yield was 44%…I honestly have no idea why they accepted so many people! I guess they think the yield for ea will be rather high (maybe the data showed ea was much higher than RD). This, in all likelihood, means really bad news for RD people…like <8%</p>
<p>Yeah, I thought I had read in the Maroon the yield went up 5 points from the year before, which was 39%. But I could never find that mentioned again. Imagine if it does that again. Anyway, it shows how quickly things are changing at UChicago.</p>
<p>The yield should be around 41-42% depending on how they do the statistics, if they include transfers or not in the calculation. It will not be over 44% for the class of 2015.</p>
<p>Although I think UChicago’s numbers are impressive - you really can’t compare an EA acceptance rate with an ED acceptance rate. It think alot of underacheivers throw in an app at UC because they say to themselves, hey what the heck and alot of High Acheivers send in an App in case they don’t get into their number one Ivy… The only way to know if UC is really a person’s first choice school is if they did ED. And don’t start saying I’m bashing, I’m not - UC is an excellent school, but you still can’t compare EA rates and ED rates.</p>
<p>Chicago was expecting 1350 last year. If they received 1411 instead, it is a higher yield.</p>
<p>Transfer students should not be part of the yield.</p>
<p>The only way to know if UC is really a person’s first choice school is if they did ED.</p>
<p>There are many people who CANNOT do ED because they have to compare FA packages.
As far as I can tell, ED is for full pay or near full pay applicants with not so impressive resumes.</p>
<p>Also, I was NOT impressed by Dartmouth, Brown, Cornell, Penn ED results threads.</p>
<p>@David05, trust me the yield was 44%. It was published in the maroon and confirmed by the dean of admissions. I go to the school, I read the article, I’m positive.</p>
