[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid was rejected last year - top 10% of class, 34, national awards, club president, varsity captain, 13AP mostly 5’s. We applied for FA. Kid got in an elite school in RD with very generous aid. [b]So, it could be a good thing to be rejected or deferred by UVA. [/b]Good luck![/quote]

In or out of state? [/quote]

DP here.  I know top VA students who have been rejected, similar stats.  Some posters insist UVA does not yield protect, but in all my years, I have seen differently.  If UVA thinks you will pick a "higher" school, they will not admit you.  Also, schools are not supposed to communicate with each other about whom they choose, but there is some degree of understanding, such that other schools accept in lieu of. Again, this is not supposed to happen, but I have seen it. [/quote]

Do college applications still ask students to list where else applying?  I remember having to do this and was asked in all interviews too.  I had guessed schools no longer asked this.[/quote]

I’ve had 4 kids apply to college over the past 9 years for a total of approximately 40 colleges/universities applied to.  Not a single one asked where else are you applying to.

Some colleges keep track of an applicant’s demonstrated interest as a way to make offers to students who appear more likely to attend and try to protect yield that way. Those tend to be the SLACs with a smaller applicant pool. UVA does not keep track of demonstrated interest.[/quote]
