Harvard had 1,663 matriculants, not 1600 as you report. that haven't had that few matriculants in 20 years. You should correct your stats in consequence.
ReplyDeleteHarvard's yield rate was 82%, which means your "yield to Admit Ratio" was 14.2%
ReplyDeleteIt indicated the class has 1600.
ReplyDeletehttp://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2013/09/so-near-so-far-at-harvard/
This report shows everything else pretty accurate.
Show me the number and I will change it.
I know it because I've been at an admissions conference where we had the final numbers. But see THIS, which is closer to the truth from the same source you relied on, which in the article you site did not pretend to give real numbers:http://harvardmagazine.com/2013/05/harvard-class-of-17-yield-reaches-82-percent
ReplyDeleteIn checking, I find that Hrvard's freshman class has not been as small as1600 in at least 29 years!!
ReplyDeleteThough I believe what you said, at the same time I have to discredit the report from news.harvard.edu, let's wait for the CDS to come out.
ReplyDeleteYou have TWO contradictory Gazette stories. Why not "discredit" the one that is absolutely absurd and not written by an admissions person?
ReplyDeleteShould I trust Harvard.edu more? It is not that I don't like the good number for Harvard.
ReplyDeleteIf I were biased like you, Harvard's news would not have been on this site, not to mention to still put H first on this ranking.
Don't be silly. I only object when you make all your fancy calculations based on preliminary, erroneous numbers, no matter what the school. And then, when accurate information emerges, you never delete or change the incorrect calculations you made earlier.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you learned to argue at H:
ReplyDeleteI don't know which of the two reports is more reliable, maybe it is obvious to you, and I want to wait for the CDS to come out. It seems that I have to distrust anything that comes from Harvard.edu site.
The comments on this page should be ample enough to say about the H's yield - just wait for the official data to come out.
LOL! The 12-13 CDS form for Harvard isn't available yet, let alone the 13-14 form!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
