[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Getting rejected is Not girls protection.

Schools want to admit students who will attend.  They need c students to enroll in the fall.  So yes if they think you are using them as a safety or most likely have resume for a higher ranked school and don't really want to attend, they might wl or reject you.  If they are really your first choice you show them that and you might get admitted

For ex case western, they know that many who apply have the resume for T25.  If they accept all of those kids they won't have enough students in the fall.  Seriously even of those who end up attending at least 50% + are only there because they did NOT get into the 3-4 T25 they applied to.

But if case is your top choice, let them know they will give you your fa and merit estimates and you can ED 2.

And if it's not your top choice, well then they were accurate in assuming you might not attend.  So yup you may not get admitted[/quote]

Assuming you meant "not yield protection", what you have described is exactly yield protection.   Schools don't have to do this--ie Pitt takes both the high stats kids and those with lower stats and has a lower yield.[/quote]

There are "high stats kids" who get Wl/Rejected from Pitt.  It happens at every school with sub 50% acceptance rates.   And those kids will continue to scream "I was yield protected".

If you want to apply to 10+ schools (really more than 2 or 3), then there will always be "yield protection". [/quote]
