[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any student that you know of who had 4.45 as post first semester senior year who didn't get into UVA? [/quote]yes[/quote]

higher and 1590 and highly competitive paid internships and yada yada and deferred. Shocked.[/quote]

Yield protection?  [/quote]

I'm hoping you're right, but also deferred ED from Ivy and DC is shaken and now has to wait two months. Not that hundreds/thousands aren't in the same boat.[/quote]

UVA has stated they don't bother with yield protection. No need. Good luck to DC. It's hard on so many especially this year.[/quote]

Which schools admit to using yield protection?
It seems like it would be utterly foolish to admit to it and would lower the ranking stats that they all live by.[/quote]

Agree.  Our TJ kid made it to UVA, but other higher stats, more well rounded kids from TJ did not.  I know some of them personally and there's no way the teacher rec or essays of those kids were subpar.  It HAS to be yield protection.  The other alternative is stupidity on UVA's part.  Given these two options, I vote for yield protection.[/quote]
Interesting observation!
DC is supposed to be the targeted yield protection population with almost perfect stats/scores and exceptional ECs and awards, but just got accepted by UVA. So maybe the "demonstrated interest" matters as DC paid attention to these things in all the essays.[/quote]
