Exactly.
And a "very strong " SAT isn't much, whatever that means ( just give the score).GPA could be meh. Basic ECs.

Schools that with reputations of yield protect that I am aware of
American University
New York University
Boston University
Who else should be added?
Caveat, none of those (American, NYU, BU) would be safeties for a high stats kid even if they didn't yield protect because their acceptance rates would still be too low. For safeties, look well over 50%.
Also known for yield protection:
Santa Clara University
George Washington University

I was going to ask about VT. Looking at Naviance is raised some concerns given the amount of blue and red in the upper R quandrant. Those kids weren’t rejected by they didn’t have the stats.

1. VT is not a safety.
2. VT does not yield-protect and says as much right on their website.
"Yield Protection
Virginia Tech does not participate in yield protection."
