A general formula to determine match?

<p>" . . . the stats on their admitted classes will be somewhat-to-significantly higher than the stats on their enrolled classes, since the higher-stats applicants are more likely to have other options and thus more likely to choose one of the others. So, as a rough matter, I generally assume the the 75% level on the enrolled class represents something like the average for the admitted group. That’s probably over-conservative, but you get the idea."</p>

<p>Yeah, that is probably too conservative:</p>

<p>Amherst Class of 2011 </p>

<p>Yield: 40%</p>

<pre><code> Accepted Enrolled
</code></pre>

<p>CR 690-790 670-770
M 670-780 660-760
WR 680-770 670-760</p>

<p>That is, the 75% figure for enrolled students is well above the average for accepted students. The accepted students stats are higher than the enrolled – but not that much higher. (The data do show, not surprisingly, that accepted student with scores in the 750-800 range enroll at a lower rate than those with scores in the other ranges.) </p>
