Will the New Residential Colleges Opening in 2013 Improve Rates?

<p>Or does that mean the High School C/O 2013 will reap those benefits and the C/O 2012 will still face the same smaller class size? They plan to add around 200 to the class size with the addition of West Campus/Residential Colleges.</p>

<p>Probably not. The increase in student population is relatively small and will be feathered in over a few years. Given the steady increases in applications, the admit rate won’t change much at all. There may be a small relative rate change vis-a-vis the other top schools who are not increasing their populations.</p>

<p>Oh well haha if by God’s grace I get in, at least it’ll be expanded while I’m there</p>

<p>The new residential colleges will not open in 2013. Construction was postponed as a result of the economic downturn. </p>

<p>What I heard is that they will not open before 2016 now.</p>

<p>They finished the Yale Tomorrow campaign yesterday though, I thought. Oh well. Such hopes crushed haha</p>

<p>Even if they did open in 2013, it’s public information; I’m guessing that means more people will apply and rates will probably not increase much.</p>

<p>He says 2015 would be the earliest but they still have to raise over $300 million.</p>
