[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC had similar stats and excellent ec's but was not an athlete or URM or legacy. Guess what- he did not get into a "top" school. He is at a great state school and extremely happy and doing exceptionally well. Our experience is that if you have a top student, it is not so easy to get into Michigan or Emory because they think you will get in to a better school and go elsewhere. They all want a high yield. I would really think long and hard about making sure your child will be happy at every school on their list because they may end up at a school they never dreamed of attending. It is a total crapshoot. [/quote] +1 I know the world is different now, but to try and circumvent this, we visited my daughter's safety schools to show interest and any other schools that had a tendency to yield protect.
