[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not sure what to say about the process - kid deferred engineering OOS, 1500 SAT, 4.29 W, 3.93 UW. Same with Purdue, though I expected that. But at Boulder, pretty much everybody from the school got in in the past. [/quote]

This has to be yield management. They knew this kid would have better options.[/quote]+1, this has been going on for a few years, per posts here at DCUM, out of state yield management. If the PP is not admitted to engineering in RD, they will either be waitlisted, or more likely, offered Exploratory Studies.

In state, engineering would almost be a safety. Exploratory studies is a safety in state.[/quote]Whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep well at night...[/quote]

I don’t know why people dismiss yield management. It’s part of enrollment management and colleges take it very seriously. If PP thinks schools just admit the academically strongest, they’re naive. My own child got admitted to Boulder (not business or engineering) with the $25k 4 year merit offer. So I am not speaking from sour grapes. [/quote]
