Yield Protected

In college admissions what someone with an overinflated egos tell themselves when they get rejected by schools for which they think they are overqualified.

When in reality their bad attitude came through in the Letters of Recommendation (LORs) and essays and they got rejected because they came across as an egotistical jerk even though they really know **NOTHING** about the real world beyond their own little high school.

My friend with a perfect 1600 on the SAT and 4.0 unweighted GPA told me he got yield protected by Purdue because they must have known he would surely get into MIT.
