Yield (college admissions)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yield (also known as the yield rate or matriculation rate)[1] is a statistic in college admissions that measures the percentage of applicants to an institution who, having been offered admission, accept the offer.[2][3] It is calculated by dividing the number of students who enroll at an institution in a given year by the total number of admission offers sent. For example, an institution that makes 5,000 offers of admission in a particular year, but that enrolls 2,000 students that year, is said to have a yield of 40%. The yield rate is usually calculated once per year.
