[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No supplemental essays.  Acceptance rate can be easily manipulated.  [/quote]

Yep! [b]No essays always lead to more apps[/b] and then a lower rate.[/quote]

DC is an example. Threw in an application in mid-December after being deferred ED from their first choice school. Why UVA? Because there were no supplementals this year, so DC figured why not.

No doubt a waste of money, but at the time it felt like a harmless act of self-soothing after the sting of deferral. ;)

And your point is what?  The bottom line is your kid applied.[/quote]

Sorry if I wasn't clear. No complaints or issues related to my kid!

I was just agreeing with the PP who said that by dropping the supplemental essays, UVA set themselves up to get more applications than ever this year - which in turn drove down the admit rate.

I was using my kid as an example. Meaning, if UVA had supplemental essays this year, DC would not have bothered to apply. Guessing there are plenty of other kids who did the same.

Anyway, good for UVA. Looking back on this whole process, my feeling is the fewer supplementals a kid has to write, the better! [/quote]
