[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a Sr. that was deferred by his first choice EA, and got into two safeties.  We are waiting for the other schools.  It seems very quiet this year so I wonder if it is a unusually difficult year for admissions for some reason?[/quote]

[b]By any chance, are these VA public universities?  Mine aren't quite Sr's yet, but we're looking at mostly instate schools for cost reasons.  Getting a little nervous about how hard I hear it is to get in.[/quote][/b]

We've had a good run at it but DS prepped all summer so was ready to go with rolling admissions (Penn State) safety first, then two Honors tech universities on Oct. 15th, then UVA and a SCEA on Nov. lst.  He got into every school he applied to, including UVA early action, and is now waiting for the real reaches on March 31/April lst.  I strongly urge you to go with EA, ED or SCEA and work out a plan this summer.  The VA schools can't be beat for value.  For some peculiar reason Va Tech is ED (binding) but UVA is not, so plan on getting the UVA application in early.  Go to collegeconfidential.com and read "University of Virginia EA 2020" and you will get a sense of what type of kid gets in and what type (statistics) is deferred or denied. [/quote]
