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

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?

Very few get in from any kind of high school.

Does anyone know the deferral to admission rate? I heard 8%, but no idea if that is true.

I think they all do to a certain extent. Some more than others.

How would a large university yield protect with 50,000+ applications? Seriously, explain how you think that would work.

They would do it through analytics. There are consulting companies that can determine likelihood of enrollment of accepted students.

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.

They would use analytics. The basis of yield protection is understanding the likelihood of an potential accepted applicant to attend. That is also the basis of for calculating enrollment.

It’s way lower than that, three or four percent. You can look at the posts on the admissions blog and calculate it

It was taken on during Covid as did most colleges and universities in America. The Board is considering dropping it for fall 2027.
