Any statistics for Yale admissions 2009?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University

<p>Just wondering if Yale has posted the following:</p>

<ul>
<li># of EA accepted</li>
<li><h1>of EA applicants</h1></li>
<li><h1>of RD accepted (including EA deferrals)</h1></li>
<li><h1>of RD applicants</h1></li>
<li><h1>waitlisted</h1></li>
<li><h1>accepted off waitlist</h1></li>
</ul>

<p>I would LOVE to see what the numbers look like. I'm particularly interested in WL stats as that will tell us how overextended they were last year. I know that in the past they have provided this information, possibly through the Yale Daily News? I've looked, but I don't see the 2009 info anywhere. Has anyone seen it around?</p>

<p>All of that information will be available here when it is published:</p>

<p>[Common</a> Data Set](<a href=“http://www.yale.edu/oir/ComDatset.html]Common”>http://www.yale.edu/oir/ComDatset.html)</p>

<p>As of now, however, the CDS for 2009-10 has not yet appeared. In the meantime, EA and RD applicant counts can be found here.</p>

<p>This is what happened last year (the current crop of Freshmen)</p>

<p>Number of applicants 11732M 14271F 26003Total
Number admitted * 1004M 954F 1958Total
Rate of admission 8.6%M 6.7%F 7.5%Total
Number of matriculants 655M 653F 1308Total
% of total class 50.0%M 50.0%F 100.0%Total
Yield** (% accepting offer of admission) 66.0%M 69.9%F 67.9%Total</p>

<p>*Of those offered admission 11 men and 20 women have postponed matriculation to 2010. Seven students were offered admission from the waiting list.</p>

<p>^Approximately how large was the waiting list?</p>

<p>Just saw this - thank you everyone!</p>

<p>ETA: I’m really surprised that they accepted 7 WLers because I remember that a lot more applicants accepted than expected, there was some noise about non-ideal housing situations or something like that… am I just making this up? I swear this is what my memory is telling me!</p>

<p>clupeid: Yale did underestimate its yield. With the gap year people however, it was corrected.</p>

<p>wht does 25th percentile- 75th percentile mean?</p>

<p>whoaz, as a girl this makes me feel honored to be accepted. :)</p>

<p>25th percentile (usually of scores) means that 25% of accepted students have scores/GPA/whatever at or below this number. 75th percentile means that 75% of accepted students have scores/GPA at or below this number. so if the 25-75 for the ACT is 31-34, 25% of accepted students have an ACT at or below 31, 25% have an ACT at or above 34, and 50% have an ACT score between those two numbers.</p>
