[quote=Anonymous]The UVA argument is thin. They removed the supplemental essay, which I think was a mistake. It boosted applications and somewhat reduced acceptance rate. But, they differ in important ways. 1. Unlike NEU and Tulane (and to a lesser extent, Vandy, UChicago, NYU and many SLACS), they don't accept most of their class through ED to lock in the financial commitment under the guise of competitiveness. 2. Most importantly, the don't stash less-than students at alternate campuses to game the numbers. This is the big one. UVA doesn't include other campuses (other Virginia public schools) in their numbers. If they renamed the campuses UVA-Williamsburg, UVA-Harrisonburg, UVA-Fairfax etc...and sent rejected applicants to those campuses while not counting them in the admissions stats, you'd have a fair comparison. But, of course, they don't.[/quote]
