[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When your kid doesn't get into a selective school, it's because the process isn't competitive. It's not because your kid is "too good." That's a coping mechanism. They didn't get in because their application didn't stand out in a really competitive process. [/quote] No, there are definitely schools that yield protect in RD. Boston College comes to mind. From our private they commonly enroll kids with up to a 3.7, including 4 or so from ED last year. Then kids with a 3.9 are deferred RD. Boston College knows kids with a 3.9 are not going to matriculate at BC from this high school. They never have and they never will. And so BC defers them. And like clockwork, the 3.9 kids get into Ivies and other top15 schools and that's where they go. [/quote]
