[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jeepers. how  will this affect in state vs. out of state admissions with an ED option thrown back into the mix?  What is the reasoning behind this?[/quote]

1) More tuition dollars since vast majority of ED students will be full-pay.
2) Better yield percentages.

I would speculate that UVA is finding one of the major reasons it is losing OOS admits is to better aid packages from other schools (primarily private schools).   The advantage (from a school's perspective) is the student has to commit before they see aid package.  So this will enable UVA to get more full pay students and increase targeted financial aid (increase grant) to others it is competing to get.

But they left Early Action in place, so I’m not sure they are searching for full pay.

Has their OOs yield dropped?

Well, it will lead to applicants gaming out their strategy.  If you have money and want to possibly increase odds of admission, you can do ED without concern.

I speculated without looking at any data first, but it looks plausible.  OOS yield has gone from 36% in 2006-7 to 22% in 2017-18.   In-State yield also dropped in that time period from 68% to 58%.  Yields are declining at most schools because the number of schools applied to per applicant has gone up.[/quote]
