You need to account for distortions in your "formula" caused by early admissions programs. For example ...
For the Class of 2013:
STANFORD:
Total apps: 30,429
EA apps: 5,363
RD apps: 1,737
Total admits: 2,426 (8%)
Total yield: 1,692 (69.7%)
EA admits: 689 (12.8%)
EA yield: 547 (79.4%)
RD admits: 1,737 (6.9%)
RD yield: 1,145 (65.9%
YALE:
Total apps: 26,003
EA apps: 5,557
RD apps: 20,446
Total admits: 1,958 (7.5%)
Total yield: 1,305 (66.6%)
EA admits: 742 (13.4%)
EA yield: 574 (77.3%)
RD admits: 1,216 (5.9%)
RD yield: 734 (60.4%)
On what do you base your estimated net matriculation numbers at Yale and Princeton? I do not believe these numbers came from the college paper websites.
Fan, I may have to use the overall yield and admit rate as they were reported, instead of further dividing them into ED, SCEA and RD. It is unfair to Harvard and Princeton to use overall yield and admit rates, but without using SCEA/ED in their admission practice was their choices, the same can be said for Stanford and Yale with the rest.
I am waiting for Columbia to catch up next year. It could pass both Princeton and Yale.
For Princeton and Yale's waitlist admits:
http://mathacle.blogspot.com/2010/05/yield-falls-to-569-percent-for-class-of.html
http://mathacle.blogspot.com/2010/05/yield-rate-sees-slight-decline-at-yale.html
Yale is fishy with the anticipated matriculates, but I will use 1350 as the expected.
Those two sources are the only available. We can guess otherwise, but I think it should be good enough to use for the YAR. It would not change the order of rankings.
A better interim approach would be to use last year's net matriculation numbers - viz: 1,305 at Yale and 1,320 at Princeton.
You are correct that the reported matriculation numbers at Yale have to be watched closely, since they have been known to include those who have been admitted, but who have deferred a year and are not among those reporting for class in the fall.
Harvard and Stanford had a good year. But, I am more worried about the new admission guy at Stanford. He could play a don't-care policy like Princeton did to drag everyone's yield down, especially after the USNews put Stanford behind Columbia. We could see Princeton's yield down below 50% if this guy tries to admit 70% of those would-be cross-admits.
We can tell what he is going to do after December 15
I don't agree.
The new Stanford admissions guy strikes me as a "don't rock the boat" careerist, unlikely to take any dramatic steps.
It must be remembered that he was hand-picked for the job by a dean who is a fairly conservative, old-line ED-favoring kind of guy.
