[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Double and triple check your targets or safeties don’t yield protect. Do your research on this. Strong applicants are getting deferred at some EA schools because schools are theorizing they won’t attend if admitted. [/quote]

Sounds like a rationaization for a deferral.[/quote]

My kid got into Stanford last week and has not been deferred at any EA safeties. I don’t think schools really yield protect if genuine interest is shown through thoughtful/personalized essays and some light demonstrated interest (if tracked). [/quote]

DP:  I say demonstrated interest counts even when schools don't officially track it. They are looking for evidence of campus visits in essays etc.  My DC, who was accepted at multiple Ivies RD, was deferred (OOS) from Georgia Tech despite 4.0 UW from top private and a 1590 SAT.

DC pulled the app in late Jauary -- whichever reader decided that there was a low probability of yield was right -- so we'll never know what the ultimate decision might have been.
