Trends in Yield Rates at Four-Year Colleges
Welcome to the NACAC members-only resource section. The yield data resources include a downloadable fact sheet and PowerPoint slides, as well as interactive dashboards. These tools are provided to allow for additional insight into the data and to support your work with students, parents, and institutional leaders.
Dashboards
How do I use the dashboards? Interact with the dashboards to increase your understanding of application volume and yield rates in colleges and universities across the United States. Use the map for a visual representation of the number of institutions based on acceptance and/or yield rate by sliding the scale from 100 percent accepted to lower levels—or search for individual institutions. For yield rate trends, use the filter to see the difference between public and private institutions.
