Colby’s yield is up to 44% (stats released today), which is up 8 points over last year… Also, applications went up 10%. Wow.

Northeastern University
“The university’s acceptance rate was just 18 percent, compared to 19 percent for fall 2018.”
" The average SAT scores (1459), ACT scores (33.1), and high school GPA (4.20) of the expected freshman class this fall all exceed those from last year."

Harvard’s yield 83%: https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2019/05/83-percent-of-those-admitted-to-harvard-will-attend/
Trinity College admit rate - 33%
https://www.trincoll.edu/news/trinity-enrolls-class-of-2023/
Trinity appears to be nearly alone among its peers in having publicly stated a precise figure for this.
^^^That is a high proportion of test non-submitters. Bowdoin states in their info sessions that for the 50 years they have been TO, the proportion of test non-submitters each year has consistently been between 25% and 33%.

@Mwfan1921 as a Bowdoin 2023, I’ve even heard of people submitting SOME test scores and not others. Eg, I met someone who submitted 5 SAT II’s (all like 800’s/780’s) no ACT or SAT even though he got a 1520. He said he felt like it didn’t reflect him. I also met 2 ppl who sent in USBAO/USAMO scores or PSAT NMSF scores and no ACT /SAT so I wonder what category that gets factored into. I met like 10-20 people at Bowdoin Admit who did this and that is a kind of large number for an incoming class of 500.
@alexandre00 Don’t know how they consider your examples. 10-20 people does not move the needle with regard to total apps of 7K plus, nor really on the matriculated 510 or whatever it ends up being.
Because of its change in reporting standards, Bowdoin serves as a good example of the differential between those who submit typical standardized scores and those who choose to apply without them. In the last year (students entering in the fall of 2015) for which Bowdoin recorded scores for only part its student body on its CDS, it indicated a middle-range SAT profile of 1375-1535. After Bowdoin began requiring and recording data for all students after admission, its middle-range profile resurfaced as **1290-1510/b.
@merc81 It’s not accurate to calculate the 25-75 SAT composite score range by adding the two 25-75 ranges of EBRW and Math.
@Mwfan1921: OK, but those figures accurately represent the total of the section ranges, matching a standard that has served perennially as a basis of comparison in publications such as U.S. News.
The difference in profile (much lower 25th percentile, but just a bit lower 75th) just really shows that people with poorer test scores don’t submit them, while those with good scores do - which everyone knows about test-optional schools, anyway.
MIT has 78% yield, a record high. Took 17 off waitlist, which it says is now closed.

Any Pomona news?
Boston College emailing students they apparently liked and wanted to respond to their inquiries today. No one will be taken from the waitlist at this point. Maybe will get some movement in a few weeks but that would seem to be realistically only a very small number at most.
does anyone know the acceptance rate for Arcadia?

@T20hopeful2023 This article is 13 years old.
Is it me or does it seem like fewer colleges are reporting their admissions stats this year? Following Stanford’s lead perhaps?
