[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no convincing proof that any school does yield protection but DCUM parents cling to this “explanation” for their kid getting rejected.[/quote] Well, if you look in SCOIR scattergrams for some colleges (ie U Miami) where the top quadrant kids are all deferred/waitlisted and those with lower stats are accepted, it feels a lot like yield protection.[/quote] Scattergrams based on two very limited criteria (GPA and SAT/ACT) are not showing you the whole picture of the applicant and you can't draw conclusions about "yield protection" from them. You don't know what those "lower stats" kids had that the "higher stats" kids didn't have that allowed the former to get accepted - URM, athlete, legacy. musician, could be a lot of things the college wanted that wasn't just "raw stats" based.
