[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Double and triple check your targets or safeties don’t yield protect. Do your research on this. Strong applicants are getting deferred at some EA schools because schools are theorizing they won’t attend if admitted. [/quote] Sounds like a rationaization for a deferral.[/quote] My kid got into Stanford last week and has not been deferred at any EA safeties. I don’t think schools really yield protect if genuine interest is shown through thoughtful/personalized essays and some light demonstrated interest (if tracked). [/quote] Look, I agree that you must do what you described but without question some schools yield protect. Look up Tulane. They will take lower stats kids ED over much higher stat kids EA. And good for them, they want a group that loves the school. But it is yield protecting. In the RD round, some schools yield protect by using the waitlist. [/quote]
