[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3.98, 1570, 15 APs by grad, applied for English and rejected. He's very bummed, but we're ready to kick back into the next college.[/quote]

Those are good stats, I wonder if this is yield protection[/quote]

Agree.  This exceptionally weird for a male English major.

It has to be yield protection or something off with his application.  I would run everything by a college counselor.  Good luck!  He'll land somewhere great.    [/quote]

yield protection would not apply it is early decision so it is mandatory for applicant[/quote]

I say nothing about yield protection here - I am saying BC may have thought this student wasn't a good fit for the community, even if they were a good fit academically.[/quote]

well those are good stats. seems they are admitting a lot of diverse students from the DC area this year. [/quote]

Agreed this student has great stats and BC has many kids with great stats who choose it as their top choice.  But BC has always cultivated a well rounded community of students who are outgoing and are engaged in the community. So, I'm saying BC may be inclined to pass up very high academic achievers that don't engage in other school activities and don't volunteer in their local community. Just throwing out an idea (but I am not saying this student doesn't fit that bill - we don't know their ECs).  This student will land somewhere great with those stats....but I suggest choosing ED2 carefully.  And manage risk appropriately for RD.  Sorry this didn't work out though, cuz that's never fun.
