Where will I find support for the premise that many in state students apply to both WM and UVA? Or maybe a link? Many kids I know attending one or the other did not apply to both. They are very different schools. And for WM, ED is raking in a huge (and growing) number of applicants. They are very different schools. If kids visit both before applying, they usually has a strong preference. I can only think of one student across both of my kids’ HS classes who had a choice between UVA and W&N in May.

I applied to both and quite a few applied to both then. But you may be correct that things are changing with increasing use of ED. It was more of an RD world back then. I don't know where this information is publicly available. I'm sure the schools have a good idea.

So, yield protection in another form.

I'm surprised to see VT, UMD and W&M yields so low. It looks like a lot applicants use those schools as a safety.

They aren't safeties, but certainly, in-state students would be wise to have them on their list as targets. Or to be more blunt, in most cases, not applying to one's in-state schools would be dumb.

Yield doesn't seem to be a good way of looking at selectivity and whether it is a safety. Why not look at stats? That is a much more direct indicator. If you are below a certain point on the stats, it is not a safety for you.

W&M enrolled = 1510/1450/1360 for SAT and 34/33/32 for ACT.
VT enrolled = 1410/1330/1250 for SAT and 32/30/27 for ACT
UMD enrolled = 1510/1440/1370 for SAT and 34/33/31 for ACT.

UMD enrolled stats are nearly as high as UVA.

Don't a majority of UMD students go T/O?
