Talk:Yield protection

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I added the following sentence to this article: "In fact, recently, there is speculation that Tufts practices yield protection far less than it used to, as it increased in rank and can no longer be used as a safety for students applying to Ivy league schools." I thought it was important to note that this is not really true for Tufts anymore. --chocolateluvr88 10:24, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Tufts admissions has plummeted over the years (i.e. they've become very selective). Who and where was this recent speculation or is this your personal feeling?

Admissions standards recently have raised as a whole for all unversities. This speculation comes from discussion on a message board. I will look for data on the number of students with 1600 who do not get accepted. This would show that top students can not use Tufts as a safety.

Is the term "Tufts Syndrome" ever used outside of College Confidential and Princeton Review?

I agree. This seems like a neologism. And worse, one that is unused outside of College Confidential. Mercruz (talk) 23:10, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Then it should probably be removed. --216.165.32.112 (talk) 18:34, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
