[quote=Anonymous][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 [b]race as a factor in admissions[/b].  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]

That's called racial discrimination.

Anyways with that, all the schools equally not always admitting 'best applicants'
