UVA out Friday night

That's a ton of OOS apps. I'll need to look at the data, but I'm guessing many of those are from NY, NJ, and other states with crappy state schools.

Gonna be absolutely brutal for many families. The school needs to increase it's class size, somewhat.

We're in the same boat. Two years ago, my son was admitted in the RD after being deferred EA. The blog post that year said 8% of deferrals that cycle were admitted. This year the number is just a shade over 3%. Steep odds at this point.

We're OOS so the offer rate for deferred students is less than 2%. Not good odds for sure.

From Dean J's blog:

The defer admit rate has been dropping every year. I think it's better to share the data and let them prepare for the decisions instead of keeping them in the dark.

Pretty soon (if not already), the defer from ED or EA will be tantamount to rejection. At that point, why not simply reject kids.

Right? They deferred over 4,000 OOS kids from EA. And ultimately admitted 83? Seems like they could have rejected many of those kids earlier.

Oh but remember, DCUM posters like to claim no one outside Virginia has ever heard of UVA. 🧐

Waitlists are huge everywhere. VT had 15,000 on theirs.

Rejects can regroup, go to NVCC, and do well there to get a guaranteed transfer.

You might be new to this. Lots of colleges put the decisions out on Fridays so you have a weekend to come to terms with the results if they aren't good.

They also have to accurately load the portal. This gives times for quality control.

I think Dean J should refrain from posting statistics until just before decisions are released.

It's a great program but kids don't get the same quality of education for two years and miss out on making friends at their final college.

UVA was established 203 years ago - the city and services like trains landlocked the University. They have tried To increase wherever possible but there’s little room. Remember also tgat it takes in the community college transfers
