[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid got into 2 top 25 universities (both reaches) and multiple other LAcs and WL at Elon. What a joke. I believe the college counseling office at his school let them know he would likely not attend. He applied as a safety. Obviously there is serious yield protection going on there as they continue to work the rankings. Makes me even less impressed with the school than I was before. [/quote]

Seriously? You really believe that your kids counselor- who has many other students to think about- took the time to let a university that has thousands of applicants know that your one specific child might view them as a safety?

Wow.  [/quote]

NP. This is absolutely how it works. Do you think HS college counseling offices don't talk to the admissions offices? That's actually the main part of their job. In this instance, as an example, HS had maybe 5 applicants to Elon. Three of them actually want to go there, other 2 are safeties. Colllege counseling office talks to Elon admissions about all 5. Tells them straight up, don't worry about those 2, they're not going to to to Elon. So the three get acceptances, the other 2 get WL. This is 100% how it works--with schools like Elon, anyway, who are actively trying to move up the to 100 rankings. [/quote]
