If a school is going to yield protect, it is likely that they'll do it across the board. If the applicant is a superstar who looks like a prime candidate for a top 10 med school, the high-cost, low prestige schools are likely to figure that they don't stand a chance of landing such a candidate and they should focus their limited resources (interviewer slots) on people who are more likely to choose to matriculate if made an offer. That said, yield protection is something of an art and if the powers that be say, "this applicant is likely to have a lot of offers but we have done well in the past attracting students from [country], so let's interview this applicant". You just never know.

You are better served investing in MSAR and seeing which schools actually admitted 3 or more international students.

It boils down to money and the financial aid office's ability to get you to pay much less in private loans when possible. (The following is not an endorsement of the site, but just an information bit.)
