[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yield protection shouldn't be a thing. It is only a thing bc a high yield helps rankings. And rankings, as we all know, are generally pretty arbitrary and unhelpful.

So yield protection is bad and dumb.

However, having an enthusiastic and committed student body is great -- and it makes sense for institutions to want the students that want to be there most of all.

Personally, I'd really like to see US News take yield rates out of their rankings -- and commit to keeping them out -- so that schools could focus on admitting the students that they'd most like to attend -- and not just the ones that they believe will accept offers. it would go a long way towards making things make sense.

Agree 100%. I have posted similar earlier in this thread. Eliminate this concept. It is scary that US News has so much power and causes the wasting of so much time and money. If people stopped being obsessed with the stupidity of US News that would also help (not directing this at you - directing it at the countless people who take it as gospel)...[/quote]
