<p>“there are a couple of schools that have gotten rid of Early Decision, otherwise most schoosl have about 30-50% of their freshmen come from Early Decision, which essentially neutralizes this effect among all schools.”</p>
<p>Its much safer, financially, to apply ED to a school with a generous aid policy (or a state school with low tuition) than to one where FA is very uncertain.</p>
<p>That makes apply ED to Harvard or Columbia or UVA (for instaters) more appealing than applying ED to many other places. That doesn’t mean the others won’t get ED applicants, but they are less likely to be the strongest applicants, I would imagine.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>It might if Harvard had an ED program, but it dumped early admissions years ago.</p>
<p>I stand corrected re Harvard.</p>
<p>The other generous Ivies still have ED though, don’t they? Plus the state flagships on the list.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Taking Harvard, Yale and Princeton as the most generous of the Ivies in terms of Financial Aid, they actually do not have ED programs anymore. Harvard switched to EA briefly a while back, but was pelted with many early applications and decided to switch to SCEA (which was a move followed by Yale and Stanford). Then, in 2008, SCEA was removed at Harvard as well as ED at Princeton (and ED at UVA, actually).</p>
<p>Also, I request sources on the Harvard, Stanford, Yale and Princeton yields or otherwise clarification that they are merely estimates. For example, I recall Harvard said “at least 76%” or something to that tune.</p>
<p>well, Columbia has both the generous aid policy, and ED. Though I note Columbia is not on the list in this thread.</p>

<p>Sam Lee, take a look at this for Norwestern:</p>
<p><a href="http://www..com/thread.php?thread_id=1305361&mc=1&forum_id=1%5B/url%5D">http://www..com/thread.php?thread_id=1305361&mc=1&forum_id=1</a></p>
<p>is it 33% or 35%?</p>
<p>PABank, Princeton’s 60% yield is up one percentage point from last year.</p>
<p>Your link doesn’t work. I got my numbers from Daily Northwestern/North by Northwestern and a website specializing in college admission.</p>
<p>Sam Lee, tell me…how is it that you let me know where your info is from but fail to post the actual link?</p>
<p>I wouldn’t mind reviewing it</p>
<p>sorry about my link, it was working when I posted it…</p>
<p>I will try again</p>

<p>Higher minority enrollment predicted for class of 2014 </p>
<p>By Rajiv Bhatia </p>
<p>A record number of Hispanics and a 20-year high for African American enrollment are predicted for the class of 2014. As of the May 1 deadline, 2,211 freshmen deposits have been sent in. Of those 2,211 deposits, 188 or 8.5 percent are Hispanic students and 143 or 6.5 percent are African American students. </p>
<p>But not all the 2,211 students who sent deposits will end up attending. In what is referred to as the “summer melt,” some students who deposited end up enrolling at another university. According to Michael Mills, the Associate Provost for University Enrollment, about 5 percent of students have “melted” in previous years. </p>
<p>The actual proportion of enrolled Hispanic and African American students could end up being higher than the deposit numbers show because underrepresented students “melt” less frequently, Mills said. African American enrollment could reach 7 percent and Hispanic enrollment could reach 9 percent, Mills said. </p>
<p>Students with the best aid packages tend not to “melt,” Mills said. International students made up 157 or 7.1 percent of all deposits but are more likely to “melt” because most of them are paying the full tuition out of pocket and may reconsider the high tuition costs. </p>
<p>The class of 2014 was also strong academically. A record 91.5 percent of incoming students come from the top 10 percent of their high school class. SAT scores were also higher than expected, Mills said. </p>
<p>Overall, Northwestern’s admission rate was 23 percent, lower than last year’s 27 percent. Of those admitted, about 33 percent matriculated –- up from last year’s 31 percent.</p>

<p>sam lee, this is directly from one of your links:</p>
<p>“Overall, Northwestern’s admission rate was 23 percent, lower than last year’s 27 percent. Of those admitted, about 33 percent matriculated –- up from last year’s 31 percent”</p>
<p>^Your numbers were based on admits vs deposits, right? This article used 2,211, which is consistent with the sources I had. 33% was just the “post-melt” estimate (or maybe he just did the division wrong; some Medill kid had done this incorrectly before).</p>
<p>Sam Lee, it seems that they applied a 5% factor to the pre-melt 35% to arrive at the 33%. Lets use 35% for now, keep pizzagirl and the rest of the Northwestern crew happy</p>
