This school pulls a lot from ED1 and ED2. If younger not willing to do that you are probably put on the waitlist. Yield protection is real.

UPenn and Ivies invented ED back in the time.

In these days, if high stat kids choose the school as absolute #1 pick, then why pass them??

I can't blame the schools.

The 100% yield protect high stats kids who apply RD in favor of lower stats kids who are deferred from ED1 and ED2. It was very clear at our school this year.

Which is honestly how it should work--they should admit kids who really want to go there.

In our area it seems RD was used to round out the class. Or perhaps not enough demonstrated interest. Tough to say.

Business / Econ applicants from catholic feeders with 1540+ and solid GPAs were waitlisted and denied.

1380, similar GPA, humanities major admitted.

Our school just had a visit from AO. Business school acceptance rate was particularly low this cycle.

Some of us are too irritable this morning to be kind to trolls. Move along.
