[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA is on record that it doesn't take into account demonstrated interest, [b]doesn't practice yield protection[/b], and doesn't favor one gender over another in admissions.  You can either believe the school, or don't.  If you want to be a conspiracy theorist, fine.  [/quote]

UVA can't practice yield protection because it is a comparatively small office in a public school.  The UVA Admissions Office doesn't have the resources that a private university has to throw at marketing and admissions.[/quote]

[b]What you just said makes no sense.  Do you know what yield protection is?[/quote][/b]

Yes. And it makes sense.  You have to have a strategy and more readers to practice yield protection.  It takes more readers and more staff.  Unlike Princeton, UVA doesn't have that.[/quote]

Please.  Yield protection is not that hard.  You waitlist or defer applicants with stats higher than your average admit on the assumption that they'll get into another more selective school and go there.  UVA's admissions office is plenty sophisticated and capable of doing that.  That's what I meant when I asked if you knew what yield protection actually was.  All you're doing is talking out your a$$.
