Yes, that came out on 2/10

I am fairly confident that this will be an extremely low admittance. Most people know to apply ED or EA to UVA. I would make back up plans for sure. They've been known to not accept top 5% candidates. Good luck!

Some people who apply early are deferred to RD so even if they knew to apply ED or EA they are now waiting on RD decisions.

The acceptance rate for deferred students is even lower - like 2% last year.

This seems like a weakness on the decision-makers’ side. Or, why would it be so low when it was UVA who said, hang in there, you still have a shot?

Wait, they are offering more than 2x the number of oos students as in-state? Is that right?

Yes, but the yield for OOS is historically much worse.

I asked that question on the last IG call. Why defer 7,000 from EA only to accept ~100? Even if half don't accept EA, that's still a ridiculously low percentage. Didn't really understand the response.
