[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the people who cry “yield protection!” just don’t understand how competitive these schools have gotten or that their kid is one of many strong applicants. UVA doesn’t have to play the yield game. Top students, especially instate, choose to attend. [/quote]

This is simply not true.  A lot of them do decide to attend, sure.  But for many headed to Ivies, [b]UVA is just a safety school[/b] - and UVA knows this.  [/quote]

Hah! The parents may think that but they are in for a rude shock.  My UVA kid chose UVA over an Ivy and never looked back.  Also turned down Georgia Tech, aerospace, for UVA.  You may be surprised when your kid gets deferred or waitlisted for ivies.  I know of only one person who turned down UVa for an Ivy[/quote]

Um, ok.  I wasn't talking about my kid, or yours.  Plenty of kids do indeed get into Ivies and wouldn't give UVA a second thought.  You seem oddly defensive that this is so.  [/quote]
