<p>A successful Dimensions weekend is credited with contributing to an unusually high yield for the Class of 2011, the Office of Admissions said. Out of 2,167 students admitted, 1,153 accepted the offers, marking an increase in yield from approximately 50 percent last year to 53 percent for the Class of 2011.</p>

<p>This year’s high yield has eliminated the College’s need to use its wait list and will likely reduce the number of accepted transfer students in an effort to compensate for the unusually large prospective freshman class. </p>

<p>That's not good news for housing. That's 100+ people over the target. </p>

<p>The good news is that it will make it harder to get into next year, and the yield will go up over time.</p>
