[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our counselor thought some of our
DC’s results (class of ‘29), were yield management, in particular getting wait listed by Tulane, Tufts and Carnegie Mellon while getting accepted at 2 Ivies, Williams, Amherst, Rice and others.  However, it made sense to us, why wouldn’t a college prioritize students more likely to attend??
Just have a balanced list and if your student truly has an interest in one of the schools that is known for this (it’s called Tufts Syndrome for a reason) they likely need to ED [/quote]

I don't know if they were yielded for Carnegie Mellon. [b]My DC was accepted to CMU, HYP + few more ivies, Stanford, Williams, Amherst, Rice, Duke and more. Good friend was also accepted to CMU + Harvard, Princeton and others[/quote][/b]

So many liars (and not good ones) on this board. Most of these are ED schools, how could you have also gained acceptance into so many other schools? I can’t imagine any good CC in this country letting a student who already got acceptance SCEA into Princeton to then also apply to Harvard, Duke, Stanford, Williams, Amherst and “a few more Ivies”. Talk about burning your relationships with college admission. [/quote]
