OK, super curious - is yield protection a thing (not just based on scores or signaling but overall app strength and likelihood of person actually choosing the program)
Not sure what you mean by yield protection, but programs 100% factor the likeihood on whether an applicant would want to come to a program in their ranking (e.g., programs from the Midwest/Mountain/South would rank the East/West Coasters lower if the applicant does not give the program strong reason why they would want to come there)
I think yield protection is real (maybe just cope) but I have a PhD and didn't get any interviews at "less competitive" places like Henry Ford, Brown, and community places despite interviews at more "top" places
I hAvE a PhD wHy dIdnT bRoWarD wAnT me
Brown is less competitive what ru saying?
me when I didnt get an HonorHealth interview.. >
It's real for sure
