Wondering how last year's acceptance rates differed from this year's? Some schools have released their yields and published the latest data, and we've gathered a few samples to demonstrate the differences.

While some schools saw acceptance rates fall, others experienced quite the opposite. For instance, Harvard's rate rose to 4.92 percent, up from its record-low 4.5 percent last year. However, NYU and Princeton saw acceptance rates fall compared to last year, while both Tufts and Duke reported no differences between last year's rates and this year's.
