[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any school that rejected a kid. Yield protection is a coping mechanism used by many on here when kids get rejected. [/quote]

My kid got into Pomona, Hopkins, Swarthmore, Dartmouth, Georgetown and Brown.

WL at Villanova and Tufts.

My kid got into Tufts, Georgetown, and Pomono and WL and weightlisted at Dartmouth. Rejected from Brown.

So, it's very hard to know--depends on so many factors.[/quote]

Sorry, as a Tufts grad, I'll tell you that Tufts, Georgetown, and Pomona are less selective than either Dartmouth or Brown.  That's not yield protection. Evidence of yield protection would be if kid were accepted at Dartmouth and Brown and waitlisted at Tufts. [/quote]
DP. The Dartmouth acceptance rate is identical to Pomonas. But also, the differences between those schools makes one wonder how well these colleges are accessing applications.[/quote]

I had a kid accepted to Dartmouth, Pomona, Brown and Georgetown.  The first 3 are known for undergrad focus so I'm not sure why you would think the type of applicant would be different. The kids my kid met all seemed to have BIG crossover with these 4 schools.  We learned this on the tour talking to parents from all over the US.  None of these schools are big football schools.  Dartmouth is more greek and remote, but has so many other characteristics that are similar.[/quote]
