[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any school that rejected a kid. Yield protection is a coping mechanism used by many on here when kids get rejected. [/quote]
I disagree. If two ivies accept and a top 75 rejects, it's not a copying mechanism. Yield protection is real.[/quote]

And then it turns out the T75 was correct in "rejecting"   Remember if kids get to apply to 10+ schools, the schools rightfully get to try and assume who actually has them as #1 or #2 schools and will likely attend.  That kid isn't attending, so why waste the space, when there are plenty of "similar students, maybe slightly below who will actually want to attend".  
 Of course yield protection will happen.  Otherwise the schools in the 25-60 range would end up not having enough students many times and hoping the WL produces results. Because many "high stats kids" would get into several T25 and attend one of those, leaving the 25-60 schools without enough students until they use the WL.  Schools don't want to use the WL
