<p>Uh Oh, 41% of the class now filled…</p>

<p>Yes, but look on the bright side, it includes both September and February admits. Doesn’t that mean that it will be greater than 100%?</p>

<p>Not sure what you mean Gva…the total class size doesn’t change because of Regs and Febs. The total class size is the total class size… the bad news is… I don’t think those numbers include EDII admits which will take up even more of the class.</p>

<p>If you look hard enough, there is some good news. Here it is, 0.23% less of the class is filled this year after ED than last year. Here’s the bad news. I may be making a math error here, but even if I am, it’s still probably close, if the acceptance rate for 40% of the class was 40%, (and the yield for that part of the class was 100%) and the acceptance rate overall is going to be somewhere around 18% and the total applicant pool is approximately 9,000 students), if you assume a yield of approximately 45% (meaning approximately 1,500 admits in order to yield 700 students) that means that the remaining 60% of admits (or approximately 1,220 admitted students) will have an acceptance rate around 14-15%. Ouch.</p>
