<p>Harvard's is the highest. Yale comes second. They're both in the high 70s.</p>
<p>Bowdoin's and Amherst's are somewhere in the 40s.</p>
<p>I don't know exact percentages, though.</p>
<p>Edit: Sorry... got my percentages wrong. Harvard and Yale are in the high 70s. Bowdoin and Amherst are in the 40s.</p>
<p>Harvard's is around 80. Yale's is around 72. Penn's is around 66. Dartmouth's is around 50.</p>
<p>MIT is estimated to be 68 percent this year. I don't know what the real number is.</p>
<p>There's already been a thread on this. </p>
<p>Using my nifty Best 357 Colleges (2005 edition, so yeah, they're a year late), well anyway:</p>
<ol>
<li>UC Berkeley: 41%</li>

<li>U Penn: 63%</li>
<li>Yale: 68%</li>

<p>ivies are easy to find on the linked thread.</p>
<p>duke: 45%

berkeley: 41%

williams: 49%
bowdoin: 39%</p>
<p>(these numbers are two years newer than those posted above.)</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Does anyone know when the 2007 US NEWS will come out?</p>
<p>Sometime this fall (August-October).</p>
<p>I think Duke has around 38-40% this year. I think they predicted 46%, but wanted to underenroll because of the east campus set up.</p>
<p>Yield rates for this year:</p>
<p>Harvard: 80%
Dartmouth: 50.5%
Williams: 45.7%</p>
<p>Stanford: 68% (expected)</p>
<p>Unlike gcards, I heard Duke was between 42-44%...but it's pretty much the same thing anyway.</p>
<p>for columbia this year? also rice</p>

<p>Although many on this board tend to focus on a little battle between HYPS, what is striking to me about these numbers is how high they are in comparison to the yields at schools like Amherst and Williams, which pride themselves on picking students that are a "perfect fit" for them. Apparently, a good number of the students they admit disagree.</p>
<p>I actually disagree with that. Amherst, Williams, and Dartmouth pick the top students and understand that they will get fewer of them.<br>
They are the opposite of yield managers. This reveals itself in how high their average SAT scores. Amherst/ Dartmouth scores are barely below those of Princeton, and much higher than the other non HYP Ivies.</p>
<p>I really don't think Amherst and Williams pride themselves on sifting through the applicants to look for good picks.</p>
<p>In fact, Williams' admissions process is based entirely on two numbers (an academic score and an extracurricular score). Nearly one-third of all students who turn down Williams matriculate at the same institution, and two-thirds matriculate at 1 of 4 institutions. Admissions committees at these schools may, in fact, chose students whom they feel are "good fits," but seriously, how many 18 year olds do you know who would have the gall to turn down the mighty H?</p>
<p>"Nearly one-third of all students who turn down Williams matriculate at the same institution, and two-thirds matriculate at 1 of 4 institutions."</p>
<p>That's interesting, if true. What are the other schools and what is the data source?</p>
<p>Actually, I had the sense that Willliams did work hard to manage its yield, targeting 50%; Amherst, not so much (and its yield is measurably lower).</p>
