[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, yield protection is real. Case and Emory are definitely practicing yield protection. Your DC might have a good outcome in the end from the waitlist if a commitment to a school can be demonstrated.

I agree with one PP that for the rest of the world, stats are the determining factor, and the process is more predictable.[/quote]

I don't know. It really depends on what private OP is talking about. If it's ilke a Whittle, McLean School, or Burke, Emory would be a reach regardless of GPA. If she's talking St. Albans or Sidwell, that's a different story. [/quote]

This is what the SAT is for. He got a 1550. How is that not an automatic in at Emory if that was his first choice? [/quote]

So everyone who gets a 1550 on the SAT should be automatically admitted to a school if they declare it a first choice? That would be interesting. [/quote]

No, I was saying the SAT is for when admissions don't know much about the kid's school. It's hard to compare schools and grades at different schools. So I thought that was what SAT and AP tests are for.

Two kids both have all As in their AP classes. But one kid got all 5s and the other got some 3s and 4s. You know who mastered the material and who did not.[/quote]
