[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But OP those rejections/waitlists may be more about yield protection - those other schools were banking on the fact that your kid would get into a better school or Ivy. [/quote]

Some schools yield protect, but none of the ones in the first post do.

Take a look at the admitted profile. Scary stuff:

I would have thought that the Williams stats would be stronger.[/quote]

Maybe I have low standards but that seems ridicolous. Keep in mind that both pomona and williams admit URMs to a substantial degree, recruited athletes, first-gen students, and other community organizations, and yet they still have sky high scores of 730+ on each section of the SAT and 33+ on the ACT. 95% in the top 10%. It makes you wonder what the expectation would be for students who didn't have those hooks. [/quote]
