No reputable college counselor would cite rankings. Some private counselors might be unethical and stupid enough to play along with it if it helps their “business” |

What I've heard about UVA is that they will only accept the top "x" number of applicants from each private school. At ours, they don't yield protect. those top kids all get an acceptance.
Which means that too but not tippy top kids applying ED usually get deferred. And then when UVA AOs have a full idea of the application pool from the school, they will make a decision on who is in and who is out. Final decision is based on GPA |
They would do it through analytics. There are consulting companies that can determine likelihood of enrollment of accepted students. |
+1 Your kid is competing against all the other kids at their school who also applied to UVA, because they don't want all the kids to come from the same school. |
You’ve posted this conspiracy before. It’s bullshit. The AO’s would be run out of town by angry mobs if they did this. |
I haven't posted here before. What I told you is how it is done if they yield protect. This analytics is already done. They need to forecast enrollment from acceptances. |
Calculating yield is different from yield protection. Of course schools use analytics to determine how many acceptances will turn to deposits but that does NOT mean better qualified students won’t be offered admission. There is a huge difference that surely you understand. |
Very few deferred/waitlisted kids end up getting into UVA at our private school. Do you see a consistent number of deferred kids getting in at your school? |
Not true at all. I am one. It’s all we talk sboiy |
That may be the case but the point is they are deferred so UVA can look at them in context of all applicants from your school. |
Then you’re not very good at it. |
Very few get in from any kind of high school. |
| There is no reason for UVA to still be test optional. They need to get rid of that. There is too much grade inflation and variation among the high schools |
