[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry to be dense but is there as efficient way to find out which schools yield protect? I understand the concept but not how to find out which schools actually do it. [/quote] I look at Scattergrams and for some schools, the very top applicants are waitlisted and the acceptances start lower down. My kid is at a large public so there’s ample data. You can often see where that college’s sweet spot is - like they think they can get the 1450/4.6 kids but not the [b]1570/4.8 ones.[/b] I also check the CDS to see whether they consider demonstrated interest so that if they do, my kid will know to show the love. [/quote] The bolded students would absolutely be admitted if they applied ED. [/quote] In many cases, yes. But if they don’t, some schools will yield protect them. So it can hard for these high stats kids to find reliable back ups to their lottery schools.[/quote]
