<p>The RD yield would be 46.3%, based on the total number of acceptance letters sent so far, (2,463), and the projected class size of 1,440.</p>

<p>If the projected yield rate of nearly 59% - and the projected RD yield - are too optimistic, then slots will be filled from the waitlist. Last year, they matriculated 1,429 of 2,504 admits for an overall yield rate of 56.8%.</p>

<p>If the eventual yield is closer to last year's figure, it may mean as many as 40 will be taken from the waitlist.</p>
