I do happen to know rigorous course load kids who did quite well, at the top of their "DCUM approved" high school - that were not accepted to UVA. Those same kids have outstanding ECs. It is not outrageous at all to think (know) that UVA practices yield protection. UVA disregards those from the top of their class, in the name of diversity. It is no secret. |
You can't be serious. |
Wait until the rejections from Virginia Tech come in, then it starts to get interesting. How dare they, it was my kid's top safety school! |
But not in the ED round. |
Well, you sound like a peach! :-O |
UVA yield protects. My OOS DC was waitlisted at UVA last year. Got into several Ivies and Duke in RD. |
You do not know that. It is yield protection. |

You clearly have not seen a few recent application years, with several different candidates, real time, in progress. |
To add: people who do not know, now you do. Be prepared. |
Sorry, wasn’t clear. Did he apply ED or EA? |
UVA needs to make admin cuts. Too many and not enough high-quality faculty. |
Applied EA. There is obviously no yield protection in ED. |
Is it possible to clean up this thread a little? Can people post their kid's stats with a recent ED acceptance, waitlist, or rejection?
We've got 8 pages of sniping with only a handful of waitlist/reject posts and 1 or 2 acceptance posts and no accompanying stats. But perhaps parents are either celebrating or moving on and not getting on DCUM today! FWIW, my DD applied EA to UVA with a 4.4 (FCPS HS), 1520 SAT, 10 APs, 2 varsity/club sports, and no other note-worthy ECs. Fingers crossed. |
+1000 Thank you. Fingers crossed for your DD! Others- please post acceptance/denials and course rigor. |
