<p>I heard that Brown somewhat over-admit or has higher yield than usual. Can anyone confirm this?</p>

<p>hey just thought you should see this, that nobody will be taken off the waitlist cos brown is 65 students over their target size </p>

<p>is this going to affect transfer applicants too?</p>

<p>Probably a little, because of the housing crunch, but not as much as the freshman, because the target is per class, not for the whole student body.</p>
