[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a college is yield protecting, why wouldn’t they just put the higher stats kid on the waiting list? Then they wouldn’t have to worry about looking bad if the kid got a better offer, but if the kid didn’t get any better offers, wouldn’t they be glad to have him?[/quote] They do. "Yield protection" is vastly overblown - demand is sufficient at most schools regularly discussed on this forum that a school need not limit itself to high stat kids. Some folks just get offended that an admissions officer was not blown away by their scores or found their essay below average. There is a large random factor to admissions people don't want to admit to and write it off as yield protection.[/quote] +1 "Yield protection" is how people explain a child's denial or waitlisting when they aren't completely aware of the competitiveness of admission at some schools. DC was just TOO smart and talented![/quote]
