Yield Rates for Class of 2014
The NYT blog has some figures:
Harvard: 76%
Dartmouth: 55%
Stanford: 72%
University of Pennsylvania: 63%
Cornell: 49%
The article says it’s not clear how many students are expected to come off wait lists for these schools. Harvard might admit as many as 65-75 off the wait list, while Dartmouth might not exercise the wait-list option at all. As Nagowski points out, “49 percent of the 6676 acceptances this year yields 3271 matriculates, or around 120 more than the University’s target of 3150.”
