[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friends son just go stuck in waitlist hell, 1530 sat. 11 waitlists and 1 rejection. The rejection was to a safety school for him. Lucky he applied to 2 top schools in England, got in both within a week of applying. Yield protection is getting ridiculous.[/quote] 11 waitlists! Seems like the safety wasn’t a safety. [/quote] The safety YIELD PROTECTED. Are you paying attention?[/quote] How much interest did the student show in the safety? Do any tours, virtual or otherwise? Send any emails? Write a good “Why Directional U?” essay? Or did they just throw a half-hearted app across the transom at the last minute and assume the “safety” school would be grateful? “Yield protection” is just the flip side of the “the kid didn’t show any real interest in coming here” side of the coin.
