[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yield protection = how people convince themselves their kid was too good for that selective school when they actually got the expected, most common outcome.[/quote]

It’s a face-saving expression for a lot of parents who deluded themselves into thinking their kid was better than they actually were.[/quote]

How do you explain it when a kid is rejected to somewhere like Holy Cross and admitted into 3 ivies: Yale, Cornell and Brown?[/quote]

The explanation is that in that year, Holy Cross had different priorities in building its class than those Ivies. [b]Or they blew off demonstrating interest. [/b]Or they whiffed the interview. [/quote]

DI = Yield protection[/quote]

No it’s not!  College want kids they accept to actually come.  If your kid cannot convince them they really want to come, then of course the school is not obligated to offer admissions.  That’s how it works. [/quote]
