These kids are superhuman:

Accepted oos and i was selected to be a rodman scholar!
1570 SAT, 800 SAT Bio, 790 SAT Math II, 13 APs, 4.0UW/ 4.8W GPA, national merit finalist, ap scholar
also a pre-professional ballerina, some biological research through a selective teen research program, school newspaper editor, math club president, volunteering, some other STEM stuff

which school district?
TJ?

Probably not. TJ kids don't do 13APs nor have GPAs in the 4.8 range. Not possible at TJ.

No idea what's wrong with me but I have a hard time navigating that site.

It's always been an awkward site, which is why the students all moved to Reddit. Here's what I am watching. https://talk.collegeconfidential.com/t/uva-class-of-2025-regular-decision/3504377/185

Here's a NOVA waitlist:

Waitlisted.

In state. 4.3 W GPA with 13 APs including Senior Year, 1540 SAT, Extracurriculars with national awards. I would say decent recs and essays. Deferred from EA

In the past, UVA didn't practice yield protection because that takes time and money to assess that. But maybe this year they did. Weird year. I feel so sorry for some of these kids.

The pattern seems to be in or waitlist for OOS. Instates aren't doing so well:

Waitlisted in-state. I'm not angry or anything, but I'm seriously surprised that I didn't get in. 4.3W, 36 ACT, 1500 SAT.

Sure? My friend who went to MIT said he was rejected OOS from UVA. This was a while ago. We assumed yield protection since he had top stats/ECs/etc...or something weird happened.

You can’t say that for anyone. Tons of high stat kids are going to get rejected.

Yes, because UVA has a relatively small admissions office and doesn't have the resources to track demonstrated interest and the like. It's not like a public which can throw 200 people into reviewing yield prospects. But VT is certainly doing it this year so maybe we're seeing something new here. I'm seeing kids with perfect SATs or ACTs and incredible GPAs waitlisted.

I think it's safe to say that those getting in submitted test scores and did not go test-optional.
