[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a fun thread. I hope more people are able to chime in. [/quote] It just seems like an excuse for people to feel smug and superior about schools that seem to be doing "yield protection." But of course we're not the admissions offices, and who knows – it's possible that many rejected applications at the lower-ranked schools had very little effort put into them, and the AOs could tell. They know what they're doing, and they can tell when a student is treating them as a safety they really have no interest in.[/quote] OP here: that’s not why I asked. And I don’t agree that AOs know what they are doing all the time. Plenty of (over) qualified kids are rejected and plenty of others who are ok but not as amazing are accepted. This isn’t my kid and has nothing to do with my family. But I have seen it. I’m Looking for stories of hope for a friend [/quote]
