My daughter said it was 36,000 applicants for 2300 spots? Isn’t that like 6.3% acceptance rate? (I suck at math!)

That’s what I had calculated - 6%

They expect to enroll about 2300, but they accept more because not everyone will matriculate. Yield is around 40% at BC

They accept more than they need, based on predicted yield.

they accept more students than there are spots because they don’t have 100% yield.
