Just curious, how many people turn down Harvard?

<p>I know that Harvard accepts roughly 9% of their applicants, but how many of those 9% decide to go elsewhere?</p>

<p>I believe Harvard’s yield rate is somewhere around 85%. So somewhere around 15% of applicants choose to go elsewhere.</p>

<p>Harvard reported its yield at 78% for the class of 2012. That was before they took a few hundred kids off the waitlist. I don’t know exactly how that affects yield, but it should raise both the yield rate and the acceptance rate.</p>
