[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my DC who was admitted this past cycle in engineering said SAT/GPA is most important.  around 1500 SAT and near 4.0 unweighted GPA should get you in.[/quote]

Nope.  My kid (in state) had a 3.99 GPA/4.43 wGPA with a 35 ACT and got waitlisted[/quote]

Yield protection.[/quote]

UVA doesn’t do yield protection, idiot.[/quote]

Of course UVA does yield protection. How do you explain the disparity between ED and RD. [/quote]

Yield protection is when you reject overqualified applicants because you don't think they would accept your offer.[/quote]

Yield protection is also about students showing demonstrated interest in attending. [/quote]

UVA does not track demonstrated interest. It does not yield protect like VT.[/quote]

If UVA does not track demonstrated interest, why do they send personalized admissions links to high schoolers with their name in the URL? [/quote]

Of course UVA yield protects.  The people claiming otherwise sound so ridiculous.

I don't think they do.  They focus on GPA more than other top schools for in state admissions but I have not seen 4.5 GPA students getting into Ivy+ but getting rejected from UVA with any sort of consistency.
VT on the other hand rejects kids that get into MIT.[/quote]
NP. I was under the ussumption that VT yield protected, HOWEVER I think that changed last year (HS class of 2024). Realize it's not official, but significantly more TJ kids attending than prior years per IG.[/quote]
