[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=tswc]Over the years, I've seen students admitted to MIT but waitlisted at Georgia Tech, or admitted to Yale but not Duke, for the same intended major. I wonder, what kinds of colleges tend to yield protect? With ED and ED2, I feel UChicago is a prime example.

On the other hand, I feel the top 5 (HYPSM) seem to grab the best applicants and do not care much about yield protect.

Harvard got sued and lost for discriminating and not admitting the best applicants.[/quote]

No, they didn’t.  Harvard lost for using race as a factor in admissions.  Nothing in the case, or even in Harvards mission, implies that they can’t reject “better” (presumably you mean GPA and test scores) in favor of “less qualified” students on a non-protected status basis. Geography is not protected.  Socioeconomic status is not protected. Thy are still free to accept a
3.75 GPA / TO kid from rural West Virginia and on FARMs over the 4.0/1600 kid from TJ HS or Boston Latin who has a patent.  [/quote]
