<p>I did the math from the link provided by cltdad.
If my understanding of the artcle is correct:
in the class of 2014, there were 17% crossadmits with harvard = 397 students
The yield was 71.6%, thus 665 admits decided not to enroll at Stanford.
Out of these, 32% chose to go to Harvard = 212 students
Therefore, from the 397 crossadmits, 212 went to Harvard=53%, or 47% chose to matriculate to Stanford.</p>
<p>In the [predicting</a> student choice](<a href=“http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2006/09/17/weekinreview/20060917_LEONHARDT_CHART.html]predicting”>The New York Times > Week in Review > Image > Collegiate Matchups: Predicting Student Choices) article published in the nytimes back in 2006, only 27% of the crossadmits stanford/harvard chose to matriculate to stanford.
The figure therefore jumped from 27 to 47%.
There must be many reasons to this increase. How much of it can attributed to Harvard dropping its early program ?</p>
