Wesleyan's acceptance rate?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Wesleyan University

I’m compiling a list of acceptance rates and yields for colleges, and found a discrepancy with Wesleyan.

On their Common Data Set (http://www.wesleyan.edu/ir/data-sets/cds2016-17.pdf), Wesleyan reports that they has 11928 applicants, admitted 1354 students and yielded 774. (admit rate 11.4%, yield 57.1%)

On their acceptance profile for the Class of 2020 (http://www.wesleyan.edu/admission/apply/classprofile.html), Wesleyan reports they had 12030 applicants, admitted 2129 students, and yielded 782. (admit rate 17.7%, yield 36.7%)

Which one is correct? CollegeBoard is reporting the first: https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/college-university-search/wesleyan-university (see applying tab)

Wesleyan reports they had* sorry for the typo, s/d are right next to each other :slight_smile:

I am pretty certain Wesleyan does not have a 57% yield. Very few schools do. The latter results appear to be accurate.

I emailed IR and they fixed the document. http://www.wesleyan.edu/ir/data-sets/cds2016-17.pdf The correct number of admits is 2129.
