[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son got in spring 2023.  He had 4.0 unweighted, 1580 SAT, all 5s on APs, good ECs, but not anything award winning.  He plans to major in Political Science or History so not anything STEM.  I have no idea what got him in, but [b]he did get a note from the woman who read his application about his essays,[/b] so maybe that was it.

He ended up choosing not to go.  Too far and too expensive.  He's at UVA and is very happy.  [/quote]

Who was the woman?[/quote]
Someone who lost capital advocating for a kid who didn’t yield. Will take it out on future applicants to that high school. Stanford’s yield rate is over 80%…[/quote]

this is not how any of this works [/quote]

(New poster to this thread.)

To the best of my knowledge, it is how it works.[/quote]

I agree with these two above....it is how it works[/quote]

Are you agreeing that because a student got into a school and didn’t attend, that no other kids from his high school would get in the following year? Yeah, no. LOL[/quote]

this. why why why do I ever take anyone here seriously, ever.

there are 5-7 schools in America that give two shits about yield. Stanford is one of them. You idiots. [/quote]

Stanford does not actually care about yield as much as people on here think.[/quote]
Stanford can not care much about yield generally, but nobody unhooked gets into Stanford without having an advocate; that advocate cares immensely about that particular student’s yield. Get it?[/quote]

What do you mean an “advocate”?[/quote]
