<p>Thanks Byerly.</p>

<p>Thanks. That's a lot of detail. I take it you did a few of those calculations yourself, after seeing data released by Harvard.</p>

<p>This would put the early class at Harvard with 59.1% of matriculated seats, correct?</p>

<p>To token adult:
Either estimated myself, or obtained estimates from knowledgable people who had seen the numbers but didn't have them directly at hand today.</p>

<p>To zephyr:
I would estimate 52.5% of the 1,683 matriculants (813 X 92% + 183 X 75%)</p>

<p>Interesting that despite having a lower admit rate, there are 78 more women in the class than males. Hard to think that it was just a year or two ago when for the first time, an entering class at Harvard had more females than males, and I think that the difference was just one or two more female than male students.</p>

<p>Also interesting to note that despite its image of having somewhat a more "aggressive" (or what have you) student body, and being somewhat more science-oriented than most other Ivies, the yield rate is slightly higher for females than males.</p>

<p>Thank you for compiling all of this Byerly! It's really interesting to look at all this data, especially the week before I submit my application :)</p>

<p>I put up the numbers exactly as they were given to me (except where I have made minor estimates in re deferred EA admits).</p>

<p>BUT ... I <em>now</em> note that everything doesn't compute. </p>

<p>803 males + 881 females DOES add up to the total reported of 1,684, and the reported 1,101 male admits and 1,023 female admits DOES add up to the reported 2,124 total admits....</p>

<p>BUT ... that would mean a male yield rate of 73%, and a female yield rate of 85.9%. I don't think these percentages are accurate, and they certainly aren't the yield percentages expressly provided in the report I have. </p>

<p>I'll have to check this stuff out tomorrow and ask the powers that be where the error is.</p>

<hr>

<p>EDIT: OK ... I found the error in the numbers given me! There were 1,101 females admitted, and 1,023 males - not the other way around. If you make that change, almost everything else - including the matriculant numbers and yield rates by gender - computes. The revised <em>admit</em> rates by gender - which I calculated earlier based on the inverted admit numbers given me - are 9.3% for males, and 9.4% for females (Sorry, Northstarmom!)</p>
