[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I made my son apply as a safety, he was waitlisted with very generous aid.

He was admitted RD to Bowdoin, Hamilton and Grinnell among others.  Denison knew he likely wasn't going to Denison, but wanted a shot at him without it messing with their yield.[/quote]

How does one get aid if they are waitlisted. That doesn’t make sense.

Sorry about those acceptances. Is he ok?[/quote]

They say you are waitlisted but if you agree to enroll you will receive $25k in merit aid. It’s bs and Denison is the only school I am aware of that does this. [/quote]

This is what people mean by gaming the rankings.  [/quote]

Everyone’s doing it these days.
 Hello University of Chicago. 
Hello TuLane.

Which is why you can’t rely on acceptance rates, yield etc. The only reliable metric is to look at CDS standardized test score data and see what pct of kids are submitting and what the range is.  That is at least an indicator of the caliber of student they are able to enroll. [/quote]
