[quote=Anonymous][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]

[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][/b]

+1.  The Admissions Office also has to start keeping records of who attends tours (currently UVA doesn't - the program is just too large).  You also need interviews which takes staff time.  It's just too time consuming.  ARticles have said the added cost to practice yield protection just isn't worth it for the colleges that don't need to, and especially the publics which try to keep costs down.[/quote]

That's not yield protection.  That's tracking demonstrated interest.  Which of course UVA could do to at least some degree if it wanted to.  The bottom line is UVA doesn't have to do any of that -- and they don't. [/quote]
