Purpose

This report is used to monitor the state of the application pipeline for the current year compared to performance over the last year.

Special Considerations

Admits from Slate include Admit to ALP status, and only includes applications that have either paid the application fee, or had that fee waived.
Sometimes the yield percentage exceeds 100% due to transfers from other programs, or other anomalous activity; all yield calculations are capped at 100% for more accurate projections.
“Too Late” cases are included in the Pending Decision counts.
Commits to the Current Term DOES NOT include committed deferrals to a future term.
Admits that deferred to a future term are included in the Admit totals for the Application Term NOT the final term of entry.
If there is no previous year data, yield, admit, and submit rates are assumed to be 50% for “best guess” projection purposes.
The pipeline availability projection is based on the number of Pending and Waitlisted applicants multiplied by the selectivity percentage.
Yield and selectivity calculations are based on NEW students only. Students that are admitted as deferrals from previous terms are not considered.
Data from 2018 and before 2018 is sourced from the old SFDC system. As such use with caution - consistency in definitions and data collection cannot be assured.
