[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s interesting is that despite Colby’s ridiculously low acceptance rate, most of the kids who got in at my kid’s school were WL or rejected at Bowdoin, Middlebury, Williams, and Amherst, and there were a LOT who applied to many in this group. Considering their good yield, they must have a really good algorithm that helps maximize yield. [/quote] They come back and ask for more stuff as decision time gets closer, e.g. you could get a letter saying you are a strong candidate for Presidential Scholar (that is not financial but an opportunity to work closely with a faculty member from day one) and they go on to say: if interested, please let us know which professors you would like to work with on what research projects. Obviously, anyone who is interested enough to complete this will be a better candidate from a yield point of view.  My DD completed all this because as an Asian candidate pre supreme court decision she felt she had to jump through every hoop. Ultimately went somewhere else though.   [/quote]
