[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]

USN&WR lists UVA as no 4 public university in the nation. Everyone knows this. And while OOS is more expensive that in-state, OOS at a great public is still a great financial deal compared to privates.[/quote]
