[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For some kids attending UVA is a lifelong dream, for some kids it is a target and for others a safety.

Kids apply to a number of schools, and in most cases get acceptances from more than one school but in the end can only attend one school.  So yield won’t be 100%.

Fit matters and believe it or not UVA may not be the best fit for everyone.  [/quote]

Nice subtle dig.  UVA isn't a "safety" for any kid, almost by definition.[/quote]

I agree that you cannot call anything with an under 20% admissions rate a safety. But if you look at Naviance at our FCPS school, there is a top right corner that is 100% green checks. Students whose numbers fall within that part of the graph can be very confident that they will be admitted.[/quote]

Not saying you are completely wrong, but my in-state kid's numbers were at the very top right of his school's Naviance graph, surrounded by nothing but green checks, and he didn't get in to UVA.  Still rankles me a little bit, but he ended up out of state in a situation which has turned out to be great for him. [/quote]
