[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My VA VERY high stat kid was also waitlisted from VT- a very safe safety per the data. I reached out to admissions who said that they find students with my child's profile do not enroll if offered admission and that they only take such high stat kids in state if they ED.  So there you have it- you can either commit to VT before you get your chance with any tier 1 schools or you are not getting in if you are high stat. However, all your medium stat kids friends will be accepted and then will make comments about how you were rejected to their school. So that is awesome.[/quote]

This is true for UVA too. Our very high stats DC didn’t apply ED, classmates with lower stats did and were admitted. DC applied ED and was waitlisted. Luckily DC got a ton of merit aid at other reaches but if UVA is your #1 choice ED of you want a chance. [/quote]

I could be wrong but I don’t think UVA practices yield protection [/quote] DC was accepted to both UVA and VA Tech EA (4.6w FCPS, 1580 single sitting, 12 AP exams all 5s, NMF). Declined both acceptances this week, so hopefully someone from the waitlist can get in. [/quote]
