[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK. Let's say a kid with 1600 and 4.0 applies to Syracuse or some other non-TT school and demonstrates interest (visits campus, clicks on e-mails, etc.). Then that kid should get in, even though they are theoretically over-qualified?

I am new to this process and trying to figure it out. Remembering how I basically wrote a check and hit a button on the Common App 30+ years ago and was accepted to a very elite school that I had shown no interest in. And did not attend, though if a few of the schools I did get into had fallen through, I legitimately would have investigated it more seriously and considered it over my safeties.[/quote]
No one really knows what the result would be for this hypothetical student. The likelihood of yield may be very low via algorithm. No one really knows if it's possible to overcome that by clicks, visit, essays. This is why schools that consider interest cannot be safeties, categorically, and admissions reputation for yield management of high stats students should matters when you make the list - you would put Syracuse in the target category rather than safety.[/quote]
