[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]

Georgetown EA is more selective than either Brown or Dartmouth ED. Just saying…[/quote]

Georgetown holds legacy weight much, much greater than B or D.   I don't know a single legacy kid that did not get in EA at GU going back years at our HS, but I know so many legacy kids that got rejected outright ED at Brown and Dartmouth.  GU also counts grad school and law school into their legacy benefits, local faculty get weight too.  It is difficult in the sense that connections matter a lot in their EA round.[/quote]

naviance and scoir will show that the early admits at GU often have much lower stats than the RD round at a HS because of this, legacy is a guarantee there.[/quote]
