<p>Uchicago has an average class size 1350, yield 36-38%, and every year Uchicago admits about 3500.
Calculation:
If following conditions are met:
Total application: 21669
Admitted: 3500
Yield:37% equals to 1350 students</p>
<p>Reference:
[Admissions</a> to hit class of 2013 target size as yield dips slightly to 36percent - The Chicago Maroon](<a href=“Delays keep Proof from silver screen – Chicago Maroon”>Delays keep Proof from silver screen – Chicago Maroon)</p>
<p>[Admissions</a> yield for 2012 hits 39percent - The Chicago Maroon](<a href=“From Lance to Laundromats, band fad clasps campus wrists – Chicago Maroon”>From Lance to Laundromats, band fad clasps campus wrists – Chicago Maroon)</p>
<p>Then the acceptance rate is: 1350/37%/21669=16.8% or
3500/21669=16.2%</p>
<p>[Admissions</a> rate falls - The Chicago Maroon](<a href=“Scalzi: From the U of C to a galaxy far, far away – Chicago Maroon”>Scalzi: From the U of C to a galaxy far, far away – Chicago Maroon)</p>
