[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middlebury and NYU yield protect.[/quote]

I think mine was yield protected by Midd. Arts chair was very interested, communicating that they gave her portfolio their highest score and offering a personal zoom interview. High stats w/great ECs/awards.  She was waitlisted but accepted to several T15.

Maybe Williams as well? They rejected her, and I'm wondering if the fact that she came from a stem magnet (most kids don't chose LACs from this magnet).

Also,  both of those were tough RD admits anyway. And, I think both made the right call for them. I don't think she would have chosen either of them over her top two admits.[/quote]

I do not think Williams yield protects. They are highly, highly selective. I know a Yale student who was rejected by Williams. It's a lottery at that level and they are small so they don't have that many spots to fill.[/quote]
I think maybe people are balking at the term "yield protect" thinking that yield is the only factor. But, even at selective schools,  yield is likely a factor (even if school doesn't officially consider demonstrated interest). If they have a history with kids from a certain school turning them down,  it's possible that they tip those lottery odds elsewhere. I think it's not uncommon for top schools to consider who they think will accept them back (which likely goes hand in hand with fit). YCBK talks about this with MIT even.[/quote]
