[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've heard that no college wants to be your safety so if your kid's stats are too high above their average, they will get rejected, especially if they have not shown demonstrated interest. Any validity to this?[/quote] This was not our experience. Both kids got into their safety schools with EA applications, Juniata, Ursinis, Ohio Wesleyan, Mary Washington, CNU,. They did show demonstrated interest, as we put effort into making sure those schools would be a good fit if necessary. Kids eventually ended up at their desired choice, top SLAC for one, W&M for the other.[/quote] You do realize you basically contradicted yourself: you say it was not your experience, then your third sentence basically aligns with the pp who said yield protect may happen when an applicant has "not shown demonstrated interest." Your DCs did, so that was your experience.[/quote]
