One reason that UVA announces it's EA decision in mid-January is they want all the kids accepted ED to higher ranked schools to withdraw their apps as required.

This keeps the the yield relatively high but the OOS yield will probably be below 25%'this year. By contrast, the Ivies yield numbers are in the 60-70-% range.

Early Action Offers
Overall offers: 4,590
Total VA offers: 2,057 (51.1% offer rate)
Total OOS offers: 2,533 (23.5% offer rate)
Enrollment goal: 3,570 (between EA and RD)


I understand you "over offer" in order to meet your enrollment goal. BUT they made 4,590 offers EA for 3,570 spots!

How many can you now offer spots to in RD?

Even if over 1,000 turn down the offer, you've pretty much filled up the incoming class.

What am I misunderstanding?


Thanks!

I knew I was missing something.

It is all about yield. Only about 25% of the accepted OOS applicants will enroll, while 60% of in state will UVA's OOS yield has bee steadily falling for years.

Their admissions dean put the statistics on their blog yesterday. 50% offers in Virginia. Only 920 deferrals in Virginia.

The blog doesn't have any statistics on it. They said they are posting them this weekend.

Mine was deferred. OOS so even lower rates. Interesting stats on acceptance/deferral/deny. If those are true it's slightly encouraging.

Yes. We read that 23% got accepted from early action, 23% get deferred to regular action, and the rest are rejected outright.

Ditto, my son got his as well as did some of his friends. Question: three were accepted, one was rejected outright. does UVA do deferrals?
