"Asked whether the discrepancy in admissions rate is due to the University’s acceptance of applicants off the waitlist, Manier said, “Every year, numbers like yield and selectivity are subject to change until the incoming class matriculates in the fall.” "
That discrepancy amounts to 104 students (34,600*[.062-.059]). No way did UChicago pull 104 students off the wait list. Somebody over there is seriously numbers-challenged. Admissions is using a different numerator than the Communications Office.
1,783 would mean they are over-subscribed again. However, perhaps when you add in all the z-listers and transfers that’s what you end up with? Has the Vue53 notice gone out yet?
