[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA was over-enrolled this year and didn't even go to the waitlist for Arts & Sciences and Engineering.  This is a good way to manage enrollment for such a popular and prestigious school.  UVA is also one of only a small number of colleges who are both need blind in admissions and guarantees to meet 100 percent of a student's demonstrated financial need.  [b]So there is no reason why any student -- rich or poor -- [b]who knows that UVA is their number one choice shouldn't apply ED[/b].[/quote]

You are missing the point that they won't know the composition of that aid (grant vs. loan) or the other elements of that package vs. other options before they have to make their decision.  And you can certainly manage enrollment through other means.  This is more often used to increase yield.[/quote]

There is no ED (binding) at UVA.  Only privates that are playing with yield statistics for USN&WR (Wash & Lee; Chicago; Northwestern, etc.) are doing that - especially ED1 and ED2 - that's all about the university pushing up its yield numbers.  [b]UVA doesn't engage in yield protection.[/b][/quote]

You missed the news. They will have ED, EA, and RD next year.

But UVA still will not engage in yield protection.  That is for lesser schools.[/quote]

Not sure there are any.[/quote]
