<p>I know a colleague’s kid, who is very talented and very motivated, and is a senior in a local public HS of our home town in Maryland. This kid applied for all ivies, plus WUSTL, Rice, Stanford, Duke, Chicago, Northwestern. This kid was accepted by Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, Chicago, Dartmouth, Duke, Cornell, and Rice, wait listed by Columbia, Wustl, and Northwestern, and rejected by Yale, Brown, and UPenn. In this case, we could see clear yield protection at some schools including Wustl, Northwestern and UPenn, but not Chicago.</p>
