[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would this not help the yield if the universities could be more intelligent in knowing if they are OR are not being treated as a safety? Would it also not help the kids to have universities fight for them when they see direct competitors on the list?

P.S. I know this is not likely to happen - please look at this as a fun question to ponder :)[/quote]

This would be terrible for my kids like mine, who are applying to a range of schools but leaning toward one of their safety schools for fit and financial reasons. If the school assumed he wouldn't come because he's applying to higher tier schools, they'd be wrong, and both school and students would miss out on each other. [/quote]

Same, my kid applied to nine schools, accepted everywhere, going to the least selective of the bunch.[/quote]

OP here. So in what I suggested your kids would have applied to a number of “less selective” (not the same as lesser) peer schools since they were leaning towards them already. Colleges would then be encouraged to offer more merit since they see that it’s the main thing that separates them from competition. They would not think your kid is overqualified and treats them as safety. [/quote]
