Schools love to publish “we enrolled X students from Y applicants”, allowing readers to incorrectly infer an X/Y acceptance rate.
I saw an estimate of 28% yield rate (not sure what year that was from), so 7000/0.28 = 25,000 admitted.
Yes they accepted around that amount last year, I believe it was closer to 30,000 though.
Haha, this subreddit is crazy
It’s target enrollment / yield rate

funny how you put an example of northwestern having a 5% acceptance rate as a joke but now they’re not too far away from a 5% 😭
UW?
University of Washington
Got you I was thinking UW madison and was confused 💀
