Yield protection

Yield protection

Yield protection is an admissions practice where a university or academic institution rejects or wait-lists highly qualified students on the grounds that such students are bound to be accepted by more prestigious universities or programs and thus almost certainly would not enroll, thus increasing the yield rate and lowering the acceptance rate.Fact|date=August 2008 Yield rate refers to the proportion of students who matriculate (i.e. accept an admissions offer and attend the college) after acceptance to a college.Fact|date=August 2008 Yield and admitted rates are of concern to academic institutions because they are sometimes considered as factors in annual school rankings.Fact|date=August 2008

Yield protection is sometimes called Tufts Syndrome, [ [http://www.msnbc.com/modules/newsweek/talk/082703_mathews.htm MSNBC: The Newest Tricks in College Admission] (transcript)] , though Tufts University is certainly not the only school accused of implementing yield protection, and anecdotal evidence suggests that yield protection may no longer be practiced at Tufts.Fact|date=February 2007
