In what may be a happy surprise for thousands of high school seniors, Harvard plans to offer admission to 150 to 175 students on its waiting list, and Princeton and the University of Pennsylvania each expect to take 90, creating ripples that will send other highly selective colleges deeper into their waiting lists as well.

<p>According to my calculations, this indicates an initial yield rate of about 58%, about halfway between its overall yield (which included binding Early Decision) and isolated Regular Decision yield in recent years past, as was expected.</p>
