Booth 2012 - Calling All Applicants

Here is on marginal chances of admission in R3 from WL thread:

It is worth considering the fact that last year they have extended offers to ~918 students. Given that there are always less students who pay the deposit than there are students who get the offer, 700 deposits might actually mean 900+ offers, which decreases our chances dramatically. I think the majority of WL applicants will be re-waitlisted on the 16th and will get the decision on June 1 and June 31, when R1 and R2 final deposits ($1000) are due and maybe just a few (5-10 students) when the tuition is due in full late summer.

And given there are ~700 students in the directory after the R2 deposit deadline - chances of us WL getting in are probably marginal at best - seems that Booth's yield went up this year.

Here is from an earlier post: Actually, Boothie2014's statistics are not completely accurate. I see the 781 incoming students in the directory, but that number includes about 320 R1 Admits who were in the database following the R1 deposit deadline. I can't remember the exact numbers, but I believe there were around 500 R1 admits (+/- 10-15) prior to the deposit deadline. So, the R1 yield was right around 65% and about 180 R1 Admits did not place a deposit. This means there were approx. 460 R2 Admits (incl. those accepted from the R1 waitlist). Assuming a 60% yield in R2, 596 seats are spoken for between R1 and R2. This paints a very different picture of the remaining number of spots for R3 applicants and current waitlisters.

R1 paid the first deposit (320 students out of 500 admits), R2 paid the deposit (380 students out of 460 admits). Higher yield in R2 makes sence since a portion of R2s were either 1) looking for a better deal than their R1 or 2) trying to secure A school after dings in their top choices in R1. I would prob be waiting for June 1st when some of the current admits decide to do something else. However, with over 700 students on the roster it's hard to imagine that it would add a lot of room for us WL-ers. Better to get adequately prepped to R1 class 2013.
