[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rejected from Tulane with a 1580?! What in the world.

It’s only out of 1600 right? (The did away with the writing section that they were doing for a while?)

How can a kid with 1580/1600 be rejected from Tulane?![/quote]

Yield Protection![/quote]

Interesting that people keep posting that. My DC is looking at Tulane for next year, and just got an email rebutting the argument that high stats kids don’t get in because of yield protection. It basically said they have more high stats kids than they can take, and they lean heavily on demonstrated interest. They’re very explicit about that. [/quote]

You’re contradicting yourself – yield protection is explicitly waitlisting or rejecting  people who don’t convey demonstrated interest. [/quote]

Just telling you what Tulane itself is saying. They clearly don’t see this as the same. There are those on this board that seem to believe that high stats kids get rejected, irrespective of demonstrated interest, because schools think they will accept offers from higher-ranked colleges.

As pp above noted, any university is only going to take a certain ## of kids from any school, or any region.  If 100 (or even 50) high stats UMC white kids kids apply from DC, a lot of them are going to get rejected. A kid from Alaska, on the other hand....[/quote]
