I don’t know what is the exact definition of yield protection, I’m sure there are degrees of it. I was fortunate to get feedback from an admissions officer from another top 10 school that was my second choice, albeit a distant second to Duke. I put a lot of effort into the essay and really thought I showed a lot of passion for the school. One of the first comments back is our school isn’t your first choice is it.

I think Duke admissions has a very trained eye for finding the Duke passionate applicants. I don’t think that would be considered yield protection but does effect yield. That is why I think some of the real passionate posters on this board have a better chance then they are giving themselves.
