Washington University in St. Louis
Hypathway's Notes: New York Times (NYT) has collected admission statistic data from individual colleges after the finish of each admission cycles. The following table contains this year (2010)'s admit rates, yield rates as well as the waiting list information from more than one hundred colleges which have voluntarily released their numbers to the Times. It would be serving as a valuable reference for the new applicants. Thanks for their successful marketing strategies; many colleges enjoyed record lows for the percentage of student accepted. Due to the down turn of the current economy, colleges have realized that it would be difficult for them to predict this year's yield based on the information of the previous admission data. They are not sure how many accepted students will have the economic means to attend. This is part of the reasons of why this year's waiting list numbers were sky-high. The waiting list numbers offered by Duke and Boston College were 3,381 and 6026 respectively; this is indeed an unfair situation colleges created for the waiting listed students.(Posted 星期六, 09/11/2010 - 00:41 by Fishville www.tongjiyiren.com.)
