[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For our OOO high school about 10 apply each year. Last year 3ED - 1 rejected outright, 2 deferred and then rejected. The deferral was the worst since they then could not ED2 or if they did would have to pull their application from UVA.  In the past 6 years only one was ever accepted and it was in RD - female URM first gen, SAT 1600, UW gpa 3.98 plus a lot of EC. She declined since she got a full ride to Princeton.

Our guidance department is very clear that UVA is a lottery ticket and even though the overall admission rate is higher than most T20 schools our specific high school does not have much luck, even with top students, and most have a better chance getting into a T20 that has a lower admission rate.

I really hope they, and all schools, defer less kids who apply ED - deferring thousands when you are only planning on admitting a handful from that list is not fair to the kids to give so much false hope & not allow them the opportunity to ED2.[/quote]

T[b]hey are no longer deferring ED or EA. [/quote][/b]

+1.  There are many posts about this on Reddit and College Confidential[/quote]
