[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who kids who are credible Ivy applicants, there are no targets. There are just "reaches for all" and then straight to likelies. You might think that a WashU or an Emory would slot it, but they don't--they're reaches for all (where "all" means all).[/quote]By your logic, every year the ivies will be full of admits who are only admitted to ivies and no other school at all??
Yes, there is a yield protection issue.  
But not every school yield protect.  
Emory is great, but not by gaming the system to increase its yield rate.[/quote]No. A credible Princeton applicant, say one who has a 10-15% shot at acceptance, will have a better shot at Emory (call it 2x, 20-30%), but Emory still will be a reach (because it's not a target for anyone applying RD). Drop down another tier to Case Western or whatever, and acceptance is likely. There's no "target" ground in between (save perhaps a couple of the strongest public schools).

For OP, a likely that with the prestige and academic experience of a (mythical) target: McGill.[/quote]
