I have not seen the 50% yield anywhere. Curious where you found that data.

From the CMU SCS admitted students presentation. The year DS was admitted 383 were accepted to SCS for a target class of 225 or so (58.7% yield, if they got it right). They also showed SCS data going back about 10 yrs but I don’t remember all that. I think the overall yield at CMU is lower.

I found this from the discussion thread:

Carnegie Mellon Admissions Fall 2022

Even I wrote it down as 3.2% (11,793 application -383 admitted this year → 215 expected to enroll). That’s straight out from their SCS session (recorded)
