Yield (college admissions)

Yield in college admissions is the percent of students who enroll in a particular college or university after having been offered admission.[1][2] It is calculated by dividing the number of students who enroll at a school in a given year by the total number of offers of acceptance sent. The yield rate is usually calculated once per year.
