[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the university is going to eliminate more qualified applicants to yield protect, why even bother calling it EA in the first place?

Why don't they all call it RD and have it in the fall, put a lot of people on the waitlist and allow plenty of time for people to get pulled off waitlists in multiple rounds?

Seems like that would increase the caliber of the applicant pool.

But UVA doesn’t practice yield protection.[/quote]

Dean J says she wasn’t given that number.

One thing I am struck by is the number of OOS applications. Something like 21,000 versus 7,000 from Virginia.[/quote]

VA applications are constrained by the number of yearly VA high school graduates, a number that can’t change much unless the state experiences substantial in-migration. However, OOS is the rest of the world; those applications will continue to rise. [/quote]

Well, yes. But maybe my comment wasn’t clear enough. I am surprised to discover there is this much interest OOS in UVA the way people carry on in this forum that UVA is overrated [/quote]

There's a handful of people on this board, who may just post over and over, bashing UVA. We will never know how many because of the anonymous nature of the board. That said, my daughter was accepted ED in December and she has been active on the accepted student social media and is hearing from uber smart kids from ALL over the country who are excited about attending.  The fact remains that UVA is a very reasonable cost option for both in and out of state, and is the #4 public university in the country. People from OOS are always going to want to attend UVA, just like they also want to attend UCs, UNC and Michigan. Anyone who says that UVA isn't well known and respected out of state is deluding themselves or is purposely spreading fake news.[/quote]
