“Demonstrated Interest” is probably more important to schools with a low yield rate.

The factors with the largest magnitude regression coefficient for emphasis on demonstrated interest were as follows.

1. Being a private college, rather than public
2. Having lower student body enrollment
3. Having lower yield (not statistically significant at <0.05)
4. Having higher acceptance rate (not statistically significant at <0.05)
