UVA no longer deferring early apps

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.

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.

Accept that isn’t what UVA does because they don’t favor ED

Where did it say they would accept more at ED/EA? Wasn't the announcement only relevant to applicants who were not accepted at ED/EA?

Sure it happens for some but I wouldn't say it's a fairly large chance. Our OOS DC wasn't accepted in RD after EA deferral - a very strong student. I think these chances can be found in UVA's data if you want to look though.

All the athletes are ED so not sure if ED is easier.

Overall yield increased at UVA after ED was initiated. Of course it’s yield protection!

You always post that. Yield protection is the practice of rejecting top applicants because there's an assumption they aren't going to enroll.

ED has 100% yield and it's a totally different thing.

Check out “New Out-of-State Recruit” thread. UVA is competing with other state flagships for full pay students. They are going to lock in as many OOS applicants as they can to offset state budget losses.

Colleges are business as well as educational institutions.

It is much harder to get into UVA for OOS applicants, even in the ED round.

So why did UVA’s yield rate rise remarkably after it initiated ED? Are you actually believing that UVA started to offer ED for anything other but to increase its yield? Technically it might not fit the exact definition of yield protection, but the end result is that it definitely increases yield. That’s the point.
