| Which schools are most attentive to yield protection? Any data or anecdotes you can share? |

Just check the CDS and see if they value Demonstrated Interest.
From personal experience: Case Western |

+1 Look into what percent of the class they take ED1. For some schools, stats are considerably more relaxed in ED1 |

Does demonstrated interest help for Lehigh? Visiting / taking a tour and signing up for (and opening) emails? What else for DI? |

Yes. And the best form of DI is applying to a college ED. |

| Any school that rejected a kid. Yield protection is a coping mechanism used by many on here when kids get rejected. |

Spelman? They try to court Ivy level students with merit scholarships. What are you talking about? |

| We were told schools like Case Western and Tulane often defer EA applicants. Do, we intentionally 'demonstrated interest' by attending info sessions (online and on person when possible), opening all email, etc. My kid also reached out to academic departments with legit questions about curriculum, research, etc. Accepted at both with merit. |

Of course. But that’s irrelevant to the discussion of yield protection, correct? No school needs to yield protect when considering ED1 applicants. Personally, I’m wondering how to offset this yield protection risk with DC’s “safer” schools. What makes them “safer” is that DC’s stats and ECs are well above the schools’ averages. Good schools that DC would like if they were the only options. But no, they are not DC’s ED1 or ED2 choice. |

Correct. Yield protection is why my kid got denied by Harvard and Penn and waitlisted by UVA. Bastards. |
