Why was I deferred from Tulane?

@turtle17 22% Tulane’s yield is not low considering that students who apply there generally apply to 12 to 20 schools. It is comparable to other schools in it’s space. Compared to Duke, Penn, Vanderbilt, etc, yes Tulane’s yield is low. Those schools have a higher yield as a result of being in a totally different class in terms of selectivity and desireability . It’s not fair to compare yield results of those schools to Tulane anymore than you would compare those types of schools to Stanford or Harvard. But again my point is Turtle, I believe that Tulane ends up with a huge percentage of the kids they actually want. Believe it or not, that’s not always the highest stats kids(said by a father who successfully drove his son for years to get his high stats).
