[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Dartmouth yield rate is 70%.  Pomona is 50%.  Make of that what you will.[/quote]
Not much at all? Those are both decent to excellent yield rates. It’s the highest yield rate amongst LACs as STEM has become the rave. [/quote]
Dartmouth has a 21% ED admit rate; Pomona and Brown have a 13% ED admit rate. If Dartmouth reduces its ED acceptance rate to 13%, its yield will obviously go down.

And this is why raw yield rate comparisons with no context are useless. Uchicago isn’t some uber attractive god school comparable only to Harvard- it just forces everyone to commit to it.[/quote]
