[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The number of people out here defending yield protection practices is crazy.

And yes it is a real thing.  Any college counselor knows this.

So don’t apply to schools that yield protect or make it very clear you are actually interested.

Colleges have no obligation to take the highest stats kids.  They are generally very open about their holistic processes.  They have every right to accept or reject folks for any reason as long as it is not an illegal one.  As far as I know, “high stats” kids are not a protected class, just one that feels entitled.[/quote]

No one has said yield protection is illegal. Just shameful. (You know it’s shameful because of how hard people work to deny that it happens.)[/quote]

It's not shameful for a college to reject someone they don't think will attend. [/quote]

Exactly!  I'm not seeing the problem here.  If you asked these people whether their kid would have gone to X school, if accepted - the answer will invariably be NO.  They're just using it as a backup and the schools see right through that.[/quote]
EVERY student should have backups. The answer about whether they'd attend would depend on where else they were accepted and also likely what their financial offers were.[/quote]
