<p>Just wondering if colleges are announcing there yield figures for this year?</p>
<p>They’ll proably be released about the same time they were last year. I don’t know when that was last year though…</p>
<p>I think Princeton did announce theirs and they are going to their waitlist.</p>
<p>The yield for the Class of 2013 has been in the “high 50 percent range,” Rapelye explained. In an interview with The Daily Princetonian on Tuesday, she declined to give more specific numbers since her office is “still waiting for postmarked [responses] to come in,” but she did say that she thinks the “early returns are quite solid.”</p>
<p>Final figures aren’t in but Harvard has announced 76% - very close to last year’s yield.</p>
<p>[The</a> Harvard Crimson :: News :: Yield Holds Steady For 2013](<a href=“http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=528168]The”>http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=528168)</p>
<p>No one will be surprised to hear that lots of students want to go to Harvard and Princeton. The interesting numbers will be from less high profile schools. What will Wesleyan, Carleton and Bowdoin report? What will the small lower-tier privates report? Will an expensive, not-that-selective school like Drew be able to attract students? What about a little midwest school like Knox or Kalamazoo?</p>
<p>I really don’t think you’ll get a report out like that as a statement from schools like Drew, Knox or Kalamazoo. I bet their yield is not very high and has even gone lower with the economy. Schools like Princeton and Harvard like to brag about thier yield numbers, that why the press release is released. A school that is hammered is not about to put their yield numbers out for the world to see.</p>
<p>Drew, Kalamazoo and Knox all fill out the Common Data Set, so we will indeed get reports like that from all three schools.</p>
<p>I am surprised that Princeton’s yield is only in the high 50%. Is that in line with previous years?</p>
<p>All the yields for all colleges will be available on the common data set IF filled out by the college. It seemed like the OP was interested in information that was currently available.</p>
<p>No I believe Princeton Yield used to be in the 60’s, Harvard I think has been going up.</p>
<p>Actually, if not many students go elsewhere after getting off on WLs and the Pton WL yield is high, the yield this year could top last year’s and go into the 60s, given that the 60s yield reported is after all the WL decisions have been made.</p>
<p>Out of HYPS, H’s yield is always the highest, then SY, then P (80, 70/70, 60). H has the H factor, SY have SCEA which have higher yield rates than RD, and Princeton has neither – this is consistent with previous years.</p>
<p>Harvard at this point is lower than last year’s yield, but again, without the WL yield we are missing data.</p>
<p>Yale’s yield is 68.7%, higher than expected. Class of 2013 is slightly oversubscribed.</p>

<p>[Yale</a> Daily News - Yield rate beats expectations](<a href=“http://www.yaledailynews.com/articles/view/29058]Yale”>http://www.yaledailynews.com/articles/view/29058)</p>
<p>Harvard’s yield is in line with previous yields (75-80%) but Princeton’s is significantly lower. Of the top schools, H and P are the only ones to have eliminated (SC) EA or ED. It does not seem to have affected Harvard’s numbers but perhaps it has done so for Princeton? Finaid at both is very similar.</p>
<p>From the New York Times: </p>
<p>[Early</a> Signs That College Yields Did Not Change Dramatically - The Choice Blog - NYTimes.com](<a href=“http://thechoice.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/05/08/yield/]Early”>Early Signs That College Yields Did Not Change Dramatically - The New York Times)</p>
<p>princetons was higher than expected. 59.7 percent. they already took 35 off their waitlist, and they arent taking anymore… ■■■.</p>
<p>wow and i thought penn’s yield of 60% was low lol</p>
<p>Not surprised that Yale’s yield went up. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that they still offer an early action program. It is definitely popular among my D’s acquaintances in a way that H, P and S are not.</p>
<p>Here is what I found. </p>
<p>School ---- Admission Rate — Yield ---- Y/A Index (Yield/Admission Rate)</p>
<p>Harvard ---- 7.02% -----------76% ----- 10.82
Stanford ---- 7.56% ---------- 70.4% — 9.31
Yale -------- 7.50% ---------- 68.7% — 9.16</p>
<p>Princeton — 9.79% ----------- 59.7% — 6.10</p>
<p>Add other schools if you like. The yield has to be before the WL. Rank them by the Y/A index.</p>
<p>Stanford’s yield is estimated: target is 1700, will take 80 from WL =>1620/2300=70.4%.</p>
<p>part of Penns high yield because they accept a ton of people through early decision</p>
<p>Added Chicago</p>
<p>School ---- Admission Rate — Yield ---- Y/A Index (Yield/Admission Rate)</p>
<p>Harvard ---- 7.02% -----------76% ----- 10.82
Stanford ---- 7.56% ---------- 70.4% — 9.31
Yale -------- 7.50% ---------- 68.7% — 9.16</p>
<p>Princeton — 9.79% ----------- 59.7% — 6.10
Chicago ---- 26.8% ----------- 36% ----- 1.34</p>
<p>what is the value of knowing yields to your average applicant? And if you have gotten in to a school, why do you care what the yield is?
I could see why schools want to know because they have to figure out costs involved with processing applications etc but why should anyone on this board care?</p>
