It has nothing to do with yield. I imagine it’s because they were rarely admitting students who were deferred. It’s easier for both the admissions offices as well as the applicants.

with a 60% in-state yield rate, not sure why UVA needs yield protection. The oos yield rate is traditionally low due to ridiculously expensive tuition, now over 80K.

I think this is the opposite of yield protection. Can you explain your thinking?

How is this yield protection?



It’s a standard response on DCUM. Almost reflexive, really.



Oh,good, because the response makes no sense

What do you mean? They will waitlist now but won’t defer to regular decision.

I think it’s a good idea. UVA was taking so few kids who were deferred but it was giving them false hope.

My DD is applying ED and it seems much better to get a real decision in December.

My oldest son (HS class of 2020) was one of the few who got in in the RD round after being deferred from EA. My younger son was also deferred, and then waitlisted.

I think the new system is better.

One would hope they could figure this out by the time "Early" Action decisions are released in... February LOL.

Great idea! That’s less suffering and ambiguity for students.

According to the UVA website, if you apply early decision or early action, the decision will be admit, deny, or waitlist. If you are waitlisted the app is not considered again in RD. It is just part of the waitlist pool that they may look at if there is room after May 1.
