<p>Its not really that low compared to other universities. I believe that my class currently has the highest yield rate (2010-69%) <a href="http://daily.stanford.edu/article/2006/5/30/admitYieldIncreasesBy2Percent%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://daily.stanford.edu/article/2006/5/30/admitYieldIncreasesBy2Percent&lt;/a>. </p>

As you can see most of the students that declines Stanford went to HYPM. Stanford might not have the highest yield rate but its catching up!</p>

<p>wait, how do you already know stats for the class of 2008? I thought stanford wouldn't be done sifting through everyone's application right now?</p>

10

<p>not the high school class of 08</p>

<p>(HS= Class of 04)</p>

11

<p>God. Those transfer stats are scary.</p>

<p>I doubt they can go through 11,000+ applications with a level head. A lot of it comes down to luck i fear. The admissions guys mood is a lot more of a factor than ECS I fear.</p>

<p>Stanford, Yale, or Columbia. All I want is admission to one. C'mon Karma! :(</p>

12

<p>Hey, would you guys happen to know the average or median ACT score for Stanford this year? Thanks.</p>

13

<p>Why is there a yield for early action. I thought it was SCEA (single choice early admission)</p>

14

<p>lssd2012: SCEA is early action, not early decision. Thus, even though you're bound to apply exclusively to their school early, you are NOT bound to attend if accepted. </p>

<p>Still, despite the non-binding, the yield tends to be really high since oftentimes, applicants who get in may just not apply regular decision to other schools at all.</p>

15

<p>25,298 applicants (including 4,551 through SCEA)
2400 admitted (including 738 through SCEA)
Of those admitted, 431 students will be the first in their families to attend a four-year college or university.</p>

<p>This projects an overall admit rate of 9.7%, pending waitlist action and "summer melt."</p>

16

<p>^ 8% admission rate for RD people. that's not bad. stanford waitlist gives me some hope for monday, then.</p>
