30% yield is fairly normal.

Maybe alot of kids are using VT as a safety school?  I dont what else would explain only 30% actually following through and registering Freshman year.[/quote]

This.  It is well known that VT is a common safety school.   [/quote]

JMU has a 30% yield also.  GMU a 23% yield.  I don't know why you would think VT has any higher? UVA 's has gone up from upper 30s to 40%.  These are just very common yield rates.  Kids apply to and are accepted to a lot of schools and they choose the one that fits their finances and goals most.  Nothing special about VT's yield rates.[/quote]

UVA has gone down over time as well.  It was 54% in 2004 and [b]39% in 2018.[/b]  If kids apply to more schools (which is easier with modern applications) overall yield has to go down.  [/quote]

But UVA's ticked up from 37% to 40% over the past few years--not a big deal and I agree with your broader point of overall yield rates going down in the bigger picture--it's both modern application (Common, Coalition), more angst about college admissions, and more info with the internet.[/quote]
