Yes. Yield protection is pure cope. “They rejected Timmy but ackshually it’s because he was too good for that school.”

Exactly. Never fails.

This is just not true. I can think of at least 4 scattergrams off the top of my head that show obvious yield protection.

Don't mock--it might well happen to your kid. I know first hand of a student who was accepted to Columbia and rejected or waitlisted (can't remember which) at Northeastern.

Seriously Middlebury? They accept 70% of their class ED, obviously getting in RD is going to be tough. And MIT, but not Georgia Tech doesn’t make sense as a yield protection either. I’m sure Georgia Tech has a <10% acceptance rate OOS for CS/Engineering majors.

I think mine was yield protected by Midd. Arts chair was very interested, communicating that they gave her portfolio their highest score and offering a personal zoom interview. High stats w/great ECs/awards. She was waitlisted but accepted to several T15.

Maybe Williams as well? They rejected her, and I'm wondering if the fact that she came from a stem magnet (most kids don't chose LACs from this magnet).

Also, both of those were tough RD admits anyway. And, I think both made the right call for them. I don't think she would have chosen either of them over her top two admits.

Conn college yield protects without demonstrated interest and I’m sure many similar schools do as well.

The only schools that "yield protect" are those that rejected your kid.

No, they don't? Do you have any proof of this?

Nobody has any proof of any school.

Middlebury and NYU yield protect.

On the other hand, I feel the top 5 (HYPSM) seem to grab the best applicants and do not care much about yield protect.

Harvard got sued and lost for discriminating and not admitting the best applicants.

Yale Duke is not surprising.
They are both top lottery schools.
Anything can happen.
