[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA continues to gain in prestige, which it’s long already had in droves.  [/quote]

What does this have to do with prestige?[/quote]

More applications means greater selectivity and higher and higher stats, all of which is reported to USNWR[/quote]
NP.  Increasing apps are not going to increase UVA's prestige compared to other schools. Virtually all selective schools increased in app numbers last year, thanks to test optional policies, and will likely again. US News does count scores in the ranking formula, though that may change due to the test optional issue. US News does not include acceptance rate.[/quote]

Wrong. There are only four thousand first year slots. Every year the bum Ed of applications has increased resulting in a smaller selectivity percentage. This is reported to the rankings service. Also yield is up compared to other private institutions so you are comparing apples to orange. COViD played an enormous role in this because many families were financially hammered in the market crash of spring 2021. Also many families lost an income whether that was due to firing or layoff or because one parent had to take care of the kids at hime. Suddenly many parents had to reassess their financial situations. This resulted in an increased surge in applications at the in-state schools. Meanwhile, the SLACs continued to increase their prices even passing the $84k mark. So more selectivity and better yield stats translates into higher prestige[/quote]
