And no dog in this fight. Not an alum and no kid there.

Agree

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

To yield protect requires resources. AO personnel have to track the individuals' levels of interest, visits to campus, etc., which is why the elite private schools like Princeton don't do it - they don't have to. UVA is already receiving 56,000 applications a year, the bulk of which are from outstanding OOS candidates. It has a small public AO office. Why would it track interest and yield protect if it didn't have to?

My DC wasn't accepted to UVA and had very high stats and prior data from school predicted 100% acceptance with much room to spare (not that we expected 100% acceptance). I don't think it was yield protection, UVA just didn't need them to fill out their desired class. They are currently on WL but not holding out hope.

So the non-ED oos yield rate is well below 20%. Maybe below 15%? Not impressive…

NOVA waitlisted for UVA engineering. Too bad. Just glad another school thought 3.98/4.5, 1560 was sufficient for admission. Just had to cross the Potomac...Go Terps!

So, you want UVA to emphasize ED even more? That’s how a lot of elite schools get their yield up - they fill 50%+ of their class ED.

No “want” of any sort should be imputed. But such a weak peripheral in oos yield, in comparison to its selective public university peers, does not bode well for the sustainability of UVA’s current 57k oos tuition financial model: something will have to give.

They can still fill the slots and not have to lower tuition, so I don't think anything has to give. Conversely, they probably can't give on the OOS tuition as the revenue from full pays is essential to the financial aid budget.

Still, that's for the legislature to decide not UVA

No, the “give” in the scenario you outlined would, ultimately, be prestige vis a vis its public university peers.

assuming you are also the author of the very well thought out "UVA Sucks" post just before this. What is questionable about the institution or the admissions process? There are only so many spots and alot more qualified people than spots.

My high achieving DC who is a top student, varsity sport captain, talented artist, with multiple national and state level awards in academics and EC, was rejected by UVA. I have zero respect for UVA.

And UVA doesn’t care.
