[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools with a reputation for yield protection are not safeties, by definition. The problem with confusing some sort of great likelihood with a true safety here is that misleads other families into some poor kid getting shut out.[/quote] Show me a school with "yield protection" that has an acceptance rate above 50% (because a safety requires that). Most YP schools are Reaches (Think Tufts) or places like CWRU (whose acceptance rates make it a Target at best ) [/quote] CU Boulder has a reputation for yield protecting OOS high stats. Sometimes it's not obvious, as the scenario will involve acceptance to the catch-all exploratory studies major, denying direct entry to engineering or business.[/quote] So yes it's close, But their Engineering admission rate is typically around 40%. I'm guessing OOS is lower (it's popular OOS school for it's location). So engineering is Not a Safety at CU Boulder for anyone [/quote]
