Key points from the above sources:
* UVA received a record 56,546 applications.
* UVA received 15,169 Virginia applications and 41,377 out-of-state applications.
* Acceptance rate for Virginia applications was 27%, which is very close to last year's 28%.
* Acceptance rate for out-of-state applications dropped from 15% to 12%.
* UVA delivered a total of 9,190 offers across the three admissions cycles.
- Binding Admissions (due Dec): 1038 offered admission
- Early Action (due Feb): 5930 offered admission
- Regular cycle: 2221 offered admission
* 1st year class (all undergraduate schools): ~3970
* Admissions offers to international applicants were: 730

* Admissions offers to white/non-hispanic were 3639.
* Admissions offers to Asians were 2000.
* Admissions offers to African-Americans were 910.
* Admissions offers to (any race) Hispanics were 847.

* Admissions offers to College of Arts & Sciences (CLAS) were: 6787
* Admissions offers to School of Engineering & Applied Science (SEAS) were: 1882
* Admissions offers to School of Architecture were: 225
* Admissions offers to School of Nursing were: 174
* Admissions offers to School of Education (e.g., Kinesiology program) were: 122


My Observations:
* (3970/9190) = 43.2 % expected yield
* A projected yield of only 43.2% is not stellar, which tends to refute claims of "yield protection" (as that term usually is defined here).
* A majority of the offers were made to students who either were Early Decision (binding) or Early Action (non-binding).
* "...Roberts highlighted the representation of students from 394 of the commonwealth’s 623 high schools."

(It might be helpful if folks with access to official data from other universities/colleges which are popular on DCUM would post those summary data, along with URL links to the source of the data. Ideally, a separate thread for each university/college. )

What is the difference in yield from in state vs. out of state.

I think that yield rate puts UVA easily within the top 25 of the country. I do not think UVA exercises yield protection. It doesn't need to do so.
And no dog in this fight. Not an alum and no kid there.

I haven't seen any claims that UVA yield protects--the only public VA u that people make that claim is VT (and there's some evidence for that--but it's more like yield protection due to settings on its enrollment management algorithm rather than someone in admissions actively saying 'this high stats kid isn't going to really come here')

Are ED acceptance counted towards yield or yield only counted for EA/RD?

Yield rate in-state is 60%. OOS is 24%. Overall is 40%. This is to be expected. In-state is an excellent deal. OOS, kids who get into UVA also get in to other selective programs.

ED counts.

I think there are quite a few more than 25 schools with higher yield rates if all types are included. When you get as many OOS applicants as UVA gets with limited spots and LOTS of competition from privates and publics at a much higher price point than in-state, it is going to drive overall yield down. It is probably better to just look at the in-state/OOS yield rates independently as they are really different markets.

At UVA you are applying to a program, and not a major. VT may be to major, which might change the dynamics.

And Tim Sands wants it to yield protect to raise the numbers of first generation, URM and underrepresented minorities to 40% of school population which he's done The questionis wehtheror not the only polytechnic public school in the commonwealth should be doing that.

Agree

ED says otherwise - UVA does exercise yield protection trough ED.
