DARTMOUTH yield rate is barely over 50% for 2009 (news item)

<p>1084 of 2150 admits agree to matriculate.</p>

<p>This is about the same initial yield as last year, when 24 were eventually taken off the waitlist.</p>

<p>Some "melt" is anticipated, so that the yield may yet slip near the 49.6% rate achieved last year.</p>

<p>Minority percentage drops slightly, and legacy percentage rises slightly.</p>

<p>Anything on Middlebury, Byerly? I can't seem to find anything... Then again, the info might not be available yet...</p>

<p>The news will come from most places by the end of next week.</p>

<p>Some schools are backfilling with a few WL people already, to avoid the appearance of a shortfall when initial matriculation numbers are announced.</p>

<p>Thanks, Byerly!</p>

<p>It says they expect about 1100 overall (they trickle in from International), so given an attrition of about 30 they will have about 1170 in the class. That's their target class size, they might add maybe 5-10 more is my guess.</p>

<p>I'd say 20-25 again.</p>

<p>Middlebury's started using its list- one of my friends heard a couple days ago that he got in.</p>

<p>I called Dartmouth, and they said that they don't know how many they will take from the WL.</p>
