<p>How exactly to colleges calculate the yield figure?? For example, the college I am looking at has a yield of 20% for a special population group. I can see that they had 284 not confirmed students and 71 confirmed students in this population and then next to that it reports a 20% yield. How do they figure that out?
Thank you.</p>
<p>355 people were admitted to the program (71+284=355). 71 matriculated. 71/355*100%=~20% yeild rate...</p>
