<p>Would you kindly rank the latest Universities list by yield?</p>
<p>Many thanks.</p>

I personally prefer USC to UCLA. There is absolutely nothing original about UCLA.

<p>That may be for some students, but it's nothing compared to the hordes of students whom prefer Stanford to Cal. ;)</p>
<p>agoodfella,
For yield data, here is what I currently have from my own work and some prior posts:</p>

<p>Please provide documentation, preferably CDS, with any posting of new numbers for students who entered in Fall 2007. Thanks.</p>

But, THAT is the data that drives rankings! And, in particular, the SAT is something upon which many cc posters are fixated (including one on this thread)..

<p>Well, my comments were made in response to a specific charge that Penn's ENROLLMENT numbers were different. That's really what kicked off the whole thing--my first point (made earlier) was that I don't see how enrollment numbers are worth gaming.</p>
<p>I don't know what USNews tells its readers in this regard, but they send a huge survey every year to schools, and the schools fill it out. It was 47 pages in 2007. Now, they may populate some fields for the schools to check, but it's schools doing the real work.</p>
