[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]

From our school, Pomona and Georgetown are as selective as Dartmouth. In any event, I was trying to make the point that there is randomness/too many factors at play to look at where a particular kid gets in and decide that a school is practicing yoeld protection. Especially when you don’t know who else from the same high school applied.[/quote]
