[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA’s yield is nowhere near the top 25.  It’s probably not even top 50.  That’s still pretty good, but let’s not exaggerate.  It’s one of the reasons it went back to early decision.  OOS tuition is very high, and it’s competing with top private schools for OOS students.  It’s a harder sell.  [/quote]

That’s because many high-ranking schools take half or more of their kids ED. If UVA did that, DCUM would throw a fit. [/quote]
No public university does this, and UVA’s filling 30% of its class ED is extremely high for a public school. The Cal system, Texas, Michigan, and UNC do not even have ED (UVA’s admissions rate compared to its public peers is artificially low for the same reason; part of the reason UVA’s admissions rate is declining is because it is simply taking more kids every year ED.)

UVA has no leverage here: it is far too dependent on oos students financially to risk upping its ED to anywhere near the 50% territory without the overall quality of its students taking a dive (oos are higher quality than in-state now, but that same quality of oos applicant is not going to ED en masse to a place like Virginia and foreclose oos public EA options — or private ED options for that matter. I mean, for 57k oos, would you?).
