| I don’t know anyone who did not get in. I wonder if they will take fewer in RD. |

No. They have an acceptance rate of 100%.

Quite a few from our NOVA HS were flat out rejected. Plenty of people do not get in. |

My DD goes go Yorktown HS in Arlington (high stats school) and several with good grades (3.8+) and 1300+ SATs did not get in. Crazy considering what you have do get for UVA and VT. |

| DC deferred. Is that better than waitlisted? DC was deferred from JMU and waitlisted at VT. What is the difference? |

3.5w from FCPS, 1200 SAT but test optional, had a rough sophomore year grades wise but has been improving since then. 8 APs total and good course rigor otherwise. Pretty basic ECs and one part time job. Good recs we think and a decent essay but not amazing. Also went to the high school visit from the JMU admissions rep in the fall, and emailed one question regarding the application. |

Deferred is better. Deferred usually means if you applied EA, they will usually let you know by the RD decision round. Waitlist is a soft no, unless things change and you may not get off the waitlist. The CDS for each college has details on how many they accept from their waitlist in a given year.
