Are we supposed to think yield protection had anything to do with this? [/quote]
If they’re getting into Harvard and Stanford, there’s probably some yield manipulation by the lesser schools, especially Pomona. These schools are known for their collusion![/quote]
But schools look for different things. They have different priorities. You got rejected by a selective school because it's selection process didn't look favorably on your application.

Also, how many kids pour their energy into the applications for those top schools and then phone it on on "lesser" colleges? [/quote]

I would say a lot. There is only so much time and that is how they prioritize.  They assume they will get in because they have the stats. They think they will never go there anyway (and probably don’t want to).  It’s natural, but it backfires.  You have to convince the school they are not a safety, even though they are.[/quote]
A school that considers demonstrated interest is not a safety, categorically, because that determination is not a certainty.[/quote]
