“My DD is applying ED and it seems much better to get a real decision in December.” ED is yield protection. There is your example. |

| It is yield protection because UVA will now admit a greater percentage via ED which is the ultimate form of yield protection. |

There never was a defer really it was just a nice way to say denied or waitlist.
I guess now you know if you are on the waitlist. |

Last year, DC’s good friend (OOS) was deferred in ED and accepted in RD. It did happen for some kids. |

OOS students waitlisted by UVA actually have a fairly large chance to be eventually admitted given the low OOS yield rate. But for in-state students, maybe 5% to get off the waitlist?

THis does not follow. |

that is not yield protection. DENYING very qualified students because the AO thinks they will go elsewhere if admitted is yield protection. To the best of my knowledge, UVA does not engage in yield protection . Virginia Tech certainly does. |

| UVA does not favor ED applications. They say this on their website. |

Last year it was less than 1000 I think. Wonder what it will be this year? |

the last few years (since they brought it back) it has been less than 1000 and there is no reason to think that will change. All that will be changing is that hopefully they will jiust decline those who are not likely getting in so they can set their sights on something else. Its much kinder this way. It was a rare kid who got in after being deferred ED. |

This wasn’t an OOS kid getting off a waitlist. It was an ED applicant getting deferred and getting an acceptance in RD. That possibility is gone now. |

1,040 accepted ED in 2022 (4,243 applied)
1,109 accepted ED in 2021 (3,466 applied) 965 accepted ED in 2020 (2,937 applied) 748 accepted ED in 2019 (2,159 applied) If the trend continues, applications will go up. |

1,166 were deferred ED.
7,707 were deferred EA I'm getting this all from the admissions blog. Now looking at the deferred. 7,373 remained after being deferred, so that means 1,500 withdraw after being deferred. 397 accepted after being deferred, so that's 4-5% acceptance rate. That's a whole lot of work for 400 acceptances. Waitlisting is probably the better route. |

| Why does UVA have ED if it doesn’t provide an admissions advantage? |

Can most likely lock in 2/3 or 3/4 of the out of state quota in ED. Then cherry pick the rest of out of state from RD. |
