Diversity, selectivity set class of ’12 apart
All hail the moose!!!
Go Yale '12
Love ya Stef!
yea someone needs to check their math on that yield...
good showing tho. maybe now they'll get the balls to drop ED.
they should also try and get that public school % up....sheesh
I don't understand the drive to "diversify" the school. People pay alot of money to go to Yale, so don't the people who pay to go there have the right to study and work with their own people ?White People ? Blacks and hispanics also have a lower median IQ, so won't they bring down the academic performance of the school ?
Why isn't their an affirmative action program for Jews . They are disproportionately represented.
I guess I'm confused with your math. If they added wait-list, wouldn't the yield go up?! The acceptance rate would go up as well.
@Jason (#4): Based on your choice of subject matter and manner of expression, it is presumable that you have never attended Yale. So, then, why do you care whom Yale admits?
I attend Yale and think that Yale's students can be uniform or diverse. It does not matter. As long as students are there and Yale makes money.
I'd bet the farm that'Jason(#4) has never even set foot on yale's campus for much more than a tour - if he is, by some mistake of the fates, a student - then maybe we should reconsider yale's admission policy and include mandatory personality checks lol.
ps. jason - did u miss the part where it said that standardized test score averages remained the same with increased diversity or the part where the rest of the intellectual world crossed into the 21st century?
So Yale is still fudging the claimed yield rate number, eh?
I'd say that with 1,952 admits - counting 60 waitlist admits - and 1,320 matriculants, that the yield rate was 67.6%. That's the way every other school would figure it.
