Most of them take the easiest classes, pick the easiest majors and receive lots of tutoring. I’ve had 3 DCs at uva over the last few years. The one who graduated 2 years ago was a physics major. The current 4th year is in the engineering school. The current 2nd year is an Econ major. Not once has any of them recognized a football or basketball player in their classes.

Yes, they take the easiest classes and make more money than your kids after graduation : https://www.businessinsider.com/best-lacrosse-players-on-wall-street-2013-4#ryan-deforest-mollett-1

My guess would be that their stats were more than enough to get them past the gatekeeper, but then they were looking for something in the subjective realm to spark their interest and didn't find it.

In my DD's school (in Loudoun County), hardly anyone gets As in AP History courses. There are other scattered courses that are difficult to get As in, but AP history is notoriously difficult. So, even many of the top and brightest kids do not get straight As (if they are taking the most rigorous courses). Not sure how it is at other schools or other counties.

Second that....AP History is tough for our DD (C+) for right now....and she is a sophomore.

+1 Sophomore DS is in AP History -- has a B+ in that with As in every other class.

Not sure what that proves.

Elite colleges don't like to admit kids they don't think will enroll. End period. It's not a secret. And it has nothing to do with USNWR. It has to do with the predictability of the class they are trying to build. That's why top stats kids get admitted at a monumentally higher rate when they apply places ED.

Our sophmore DD is in AP World. Has an A- through two quarters. I guess she should give UVA a look?

It doesn't prove anything. It's just that a lot of people falsely cry "yield protection!" It's not really all that common.

Not sure why some people falsely claiming a thing means the thing doesn't exist.

Also not sure how you know some people are falsely claiming it.

Holy Mother of G-d. 40,000 total (EA and RD) received. 25,098 for EA. 6,550 EA admitted for only 3,750 seats total (where does RD fit in????) and SEVEN THOUSAND DEFERRED ON FRIDAY. http://uvaapplication.blogspot.com/2019/01/unofficial-uva23-early-action-statistics.html. Middle 50% ACT composite score for OSS of 33-35. My kid doesn't have a chance.

So a deferral is a soft denial, then.

First step is beating the 16 seed
