In or out of state?

DP here. I know top VA students who have been rejected, similar stats. Some posters insist UVA does not yield protect, but in all my years, I have seen differently. If UVA thinks you will pick a "higher" school, they will not admit you. Also, schools are not supposed to communicate with each other about whom they choose, but there is some degree of understanding, such that other schools accept in lieu of. Again, this is not supposed to happen, but I have seen it.

This is something people tell themselves to feel better. My high stats dd was deferred last year and the kids who got in all had even higher stats.

Not necessarily true. We can see the Naviance scattergrams for our school. There was no rhyme or reason to the acceptances. Some students with higher GPA/SAT were rejected while students with lower GPA/SAT were accepted. Not sure I would call it yield protection but UVA definitely does a “wholistic” review. Maybe the lower stat kid solved world hunger - who knows, but definitely higher stat kids get rejected in favor of lower stat kids within the same school even.

Same! And what sucks is a lot of these donut hole families need in-state tuition!! They can’t pay $90k/year even if they get in a higher ranked university- do it’s presumptuous to yield protect like that.

This was our DC last year (when they still had defer...first deferred at EA, then WL and no WL movement. But, I'll say they did not take any action to help themselves in WL (other than sign up for it, sent no new supporting documents or letters)

really sorry but what does "yield protect" mean? we completely agree - in the same boat. Really wish VA colleges gave more preference to in-state students. cannot afford to pay out of state college fees !

Sure, some kids are probably hooked or applied test optional. UVA really wants to see four years of all core subjects, including a foreign language. But for unhooked kids, uva is very stats based. People fail to realize that there are a ton of kids have high stats, is the downside to grade inflation.

They can pay in-state tuition at JMU, VCU, etc.

You are missing the obvious. These are top stats kids who can't access the best in-state schools in Virginia.

Top stats kids can go to JMU and VCU. They are entitled in-state tuition, not UVA.

I would expect the UVA scattergram to show red x for all the top students, like 1540/4.3 GPAs plus and then a spot on the graph where green checks come into play for the second tier students. That’s not what our schools scattergram shows. It’s literally all over the place with random green check marks thrown in here and there. The scattergram also shows that UVA is not a stats only school as someone else implied.
