I noticed that also with UVA when reading the ED and EA admits here and on college confidential. I think it’s a controlled way of accepting those people they need I. Order to be able to say, as colleges won’t, “we have students here from 50 states!!! Same with full pay internationals so they can say “ ... and fro over 100 cpu tries”. Allow a lot of first-generation and low-income ( because that’s hip with the presidents of both UVA and VT; take a couple of screaming high stats hiss and put everyone else in waitlist to see what the yield on EA is so we don’t oversubscribe.

They do yield protection. It was same last year. Lots of top kids were waitlisted.

How do you know? It’s difficult for state publics with small admissions offices to play that game.

DS accepted, business major, OOS. Rejected EA from Miami (placed in RD pool) and Tulane. Miami was first choice so very happy for DS.

If this is not yield protection. I don't know what is.. (I know they don't officially practice yield protection.. I have a bridge to sell ya)

DC has admits at other higher ranked schools so no big deal but feel bad for others who were treating Tech as their first choice.

Where is DC accepted?

Michigan, UVA, UMD, Northeastern

My DC has similar results. Did not expect this result for VA Tech nor for UVA.

I felt the same way last year when my DS was a junior and similar results came out. So, this year I've really stressed for DS waiting on VT, which should not be necessary since he had high stats for his major but it's just getting so unpredictable! Fortunately, he got good news today.

Is the only way to avoid yield protection to applyED? VT is my sons first choice and he has high stats. Applying to Engineering from a nova public.

If you have over 1500 SAT I’d go TO

LOL, bold suggestion

Can't believe the # of OOS, is it still relatively cheap for them or something, I think these results have something to do with the overenrollment mess from recent times

[Anonymous]

VT OOS estimated annual cost is about $42,000. Compare that with $66,000 for Michigan.

College confidential has NOVA posters who got into UVA but not VT, legacy (including both parents), TJ students with very high SATs, who didn't get accepted.

Lots of OOS accepted but also complaints about low amounts of merit $ ($5000 annually or less).
