[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Admissions is not about validating your kid. It’s about filling dorms and classrooms and balancing the operating budget.

Without yield management, most schools would be careening wildly from too many kids (housing crisis!!) to too few kids (financial crisis!!). Any school not bouncing from crisis to crisis is engaged in some form of responsible yield management.[/quote]

You throw out "yield management" all the time here, but you can't be ignorant to the fact that "yield protection" is a specific practice of not accepting the top stats kids. Those are different things. [/quote]

Not accepting top stats kids that the university believes WILL NOT ATTEND.  In the end, the university needs to put Y students in the freshman class on campus in the fall.  Not Y+500 or less than Y.  So their goal is to accept students who will actually matriculate.  If your top stat kid doesn't show demonstrated interest and convice them you will attend, you might not get accepted.  Very simple.  [/quote]
