[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only issue I have is that your kid basically ruins the chances for other kids when they submit a throwaway to a place like VT it JMU or some other state school. There isn’t a reasonable reason to apply to more than ten schools because after that pint, you can’t tell me that he would rather go to number 12, 13, 14 if he got into any of 1-10. And 1-10 should include a balance of reach, target, and backup. (3-2-2….or 2-3-2)[/quote] With yield protection, safeties don’t exist. [/quote] This just isn’t true. There are a few schools that yield protect but it’s not nearly as common as some in here would have you believe. True safeties have 80% admit (a signal in and of itself that they don’t yield protect) where your child is at midpoint or above for stats. For big state schools think Michigan State, U Arizon, Kansas State, etc.[/quote]
