As many seniors may still be waiting to hear from their schools where they have been placed on the waitlist, and other underclassmen are researching the competitiveness of various colleges, please take a look at the latest yield and waitlist information presented on THECHOICE BLOG. For those who do not know, the yield is the amount of accepted students who have decided to make that college their home. Yield is a very important figure for college admissions, as it shows the competitiveness and the true desire for students to attend the college. The amount of students who apply is great, but the number of students who actually attend once accepted is a true indicator of the popularity and selectiveness of the college. So basically, the higher percentage of yield the better! There is also information on the waitlist numbers for colleges, which schools will be taking students off of the waitlist, and how many students they plan on taking off. Enjoy the article and continued good luck with the college search process!
