Jeez. Sounds impossible to get in.[/quote] Nah. My kid hit that pretty easily, without being some overstressed, study at midnight, brilliant academic rockstar. 10: World History and Human Geo 11: APUSH, European, English Lang, Latin 12: Macro, Micro, English Lit, US Gov, Comp Gov That’s 11. Clearly a humanities kid. Not doing anything special at her HS— in fact, stood out in her class for avoiding AP STEM classes (took non-AP Calc) and piling on the humanities. The key for her was going for literally every AP in her area of interest and not struggling for a year (maybe with tutoring) to pull out a kinda okay grade in math or science. 34 ACT, which hits Langley’s media Attending WM. Did not apply to UVA. [/quote] WM is much, much easier to get into. [/quote] Not in the last couple of years. Our HS had 4.3+/1500s locked out last year. RD admission was a bloodbath— and that’s looking at the top 10-15% of the class. They will take different kids though. UVA wants the APs across all five core subjects, cares more aBout GPA than test scores and doesn’t cut ED much of a break. WM really likes ED applicants considers test scores more (or did pre-COVID) and likes the the interesting, pointy kids like PP who went very deep In some areas and less so in another. Different schools, different admissions philosophies. I know ED apps to WM were up 25% this year over last. So it’s going to be another tough year for admissions. [/quote] The fact that WM is selective does not mean it is as selective as UVA. [/quote] Okay. UVA wins. Grand Pooh nah school of the World. But if it takes 11 APs to get into WM, seems like 10-12 is low for UVA. Probably more like 14. And if 4.3/1500s are bEIng rejected, from WM, you woUld need 4.4-4.5 for UVA. Yes?[/quote] Yes, it is statistically more difficult to get into UVAz the 75th percentile of enrolled students last year had a [b]4.53 gpa, ACT of 34 and sat of 1520.[/b] That’s the stats for enrolled, not admitted students (stats of admitted are higher -some students pick Ivies or SLACs over UVA). W&Ms stats are slightly lower across the board [/quote] Where are you getting those stats?[/quote] +1 Other PP here - yup, they do not want higher stats than about what you listed, likely [b]due to yield protection[/b] (UVA knows those applicants will choose a different school, ultimately - not UVA). [/quote] To the best of my knowledge, UVA does not engage in yield protection (like Virginia Tech does). Please cite something to show me wrong.[/quote] DP. You must be joking. Of *course* they do. Most schools nowadays do exactly that. If you don't apply ED, it's clear you're weighing your options elsewhere, and you run the risk of being rejected to preserve that yield. All you have to do is talk to students at school and look at Naviance. [/quote] +1 Y[b]ou have to be terribly naive and very foolish to think that UVA, and most other schools who play the ED game, are not yield protecting. [/quote][/b] I'm not foolish. Please cite something to show me that UVA engages in yield protection because I have never seen it admitted or even discussed anywhere, whereas it is discussed a lot about Virginia Tech and W&M[/quote] They were saying ED is de facto a form of yield protection. [/quote] Then how is their acceptance rate not sky high for ED?[/quote] UVA has said that they accept a tiny number of students in ED and that their best applicant pool is EA. They seem to discourage ED (unlike other schools). It’s hard to figure out whether ED is even an advantage (bump) at UVA. [/quote] Maybe they do ED not to increase the yield but just let the applicant know early if they get in. If not, they still have time to ed2 and etc to other schools. [/quote] It seems unlikely that they reinstated ED for the benefit of applicants. It’s typically used to benefit universities and they know that they are in the minority since it’s [b]very rare for a state school to offer ED. [/quote][/b] No it isnt [/quote] It is rare for state universities.[/quote] Not in Virginia. DP[/quote] It is rare nationally.[/quote] 459 colleges and universities use ED[/quote] How many are public?[/quote] Other PP here. WM has been skewing more selective than UVA for the last few years. [/quote] Look, you need to stop. WM is an excellent and highly selective school in its own right, but it is simply inaccurate by every objective measure to say that it is “skewing more selective than UVA in recent years.” The opposite is true.
