[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Dean J." will be posting more UVA EA data today. I would like to find out more about how Virginia kids with 1550+ SAT/36 ACT and top grades at "rigorous" Virginia publics get deferred.[/quote]

My guess would be that their stats were more than enough to get them past the gatekeeper, but then they were looking for something in the subjective realm to spark their interest and didn't find it. [/quote]

Yield protection.[/quote]

Not sure what that proves.

Elite colleges don't like to admit kids they don't think will enroll.  End period.  It's not a secret.  And it has nothing to do with USNWR.  It has to do with the predictability of the class they are trying to build.  That's why top stats kids get admitted at a monumentally higher rate when they apply places ED.[/quote]

It doesn't prove anything. It's just that a lot of people falsely cry "yield protection!" It's not really all that common.[/quote]

Not sure why some people falsely claiming a thing means the thing doesn't exist.

Also not sure how you know some people are falsely claiming it.[/quote]

Difficult to prove it, but the typical college playbook is to drum up as many applications as possible (even if not qualified), and keep admits as low as as possible while maximizing stats (e.g. accept high standardized test kid from a school that doesn't provide class rank.  If kid is in school that provides class rank, make sure they are in top 10%).  [/quote]
