Do most UVA choose UVA over privates?

And good.

There are many schools that are cheap but for Virginia students you can’t beat the UVA combination of quality and price.

And? That’s to be expected when kids who apply to UVA are also applying to the likes of Harvard, Stanford, Duke, Princeton, etc. But against schools like Georgetown, Notre Dame, etc. it likely fared better than you think

You do realize that Notre Dame has a 60% yield (without ED, which Virginia — rare for a state school — has). For oos kids, Virginia is a backup to USC (a very hot school), Georgetown, Notre Dame etc.

Nobody wants to pay 62k tuition for an oos school if they have equal or better options. Certainly I would spend 6k more for a private, anytime. Remember that US News overrates state schools. Think of UVA as more on par with NYU. Not the same level for oos as the likes of Notre Dame….

There is a reason UVA’s oos yield is abysmal.

UVa Oos yield is embarrassing

Let me put it this way: if UVA were a stock, I wouldn’t bet on it. The state needs to pony up more money for the school budget and provide a meaningful oos tuition differential vis a vis privates. Otherwise, relying so much on oos tuition revenue will endanger the prestige of the school in the next generation. Sure, it will still be a “good” state school, just as William and Mary is now perceived. But that’s it. Texas, for instance, will view it in the rear view mirror.

Nope No way this is accurate.

Also, GMU, UVA, VT are peers institutions and GMU is on the come up so this is unsurprising

UVA’s overall yield ranks in the top 10 of public colleges and is above many well regarded schools like Emory, BC and Northeastern. Its in state yield would be higher were it not for the existence of other well regarded VA state schools like William & Mary and VT (engineering).

UVA's yield rate is only marginally better than those other schools (except for NEU which I didn't bother to look into for obvious reasons) whose yield rates are all around 40%-42%. But guess what? The yield rate for privates is 100% OOS. No in-state tuition benefits driving up yield, so overall yields are not comparable. Sorry.

Guess what? The yield rate for privates ISNT 100 percent out of state. Every college in the country including privates enroll a disproportionate number of its student from in state.

If you live in the Commonwealth, yes UVA over a private is a no-brainer.

People outside VA aren't clamoring to go to UVA.

Yes they are, idiot. Last year there were 51k OOS and international applicants versus 15k in state.

I've noticed UVA people are often very angry people.

UVA's OOS yield is comparable to GMU's.

I point out your idiocy more in sorrow than in anger.

And I'm also sorry that you don't understand that entirely different types of students apply to GMU versus UVA.

This is true and I don't know why people in this thread apparently think UVA should have the same yield as the T10.

No in-state tuition benefits driving high yield for privates, fool.

Never contested the difference in students? How are you coming up with this lunacy? The peerage of these two schools is most evident in their yields. Their student bodies are somewhat different.
