[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Premed. Currently Reaches: Duke, Brown, Target: WashU, Vanderbilt Safeties: Emory, Case Western[/quote] My kid was accepted to 4 Ivies RD (this year) and outright rejected from Vanderbilt and Emory RD. They are not safeties or targets for anyone RD. [/quote] Emory is absolutely a safety and target [/quote] for very top students, yes, though WL for yield protection happens. Top kids from top privates have to play the game and apply to the rare merit scholarships at Emory Vanderbilt and others and that helps a lot. Plus do app early. [/quote] The tippy top student should apply to merit scholarships at Emory, Vanderbilt, WashU, etc. to overcome yield management. But would they really attend if they got the full tuition / full ride?[/quote] Yeild protection is not real. These schools take 50% plus of the class early. If you apply RD, it is a Reach, and always will be. [/quote]
