False. Without a substantiated record of cheating, schools don’t guess and presume from a file.

If there are any hints of cheating or even gaming the system, UVA will not admit.

I posted this. To answer the question on counselor conference, my DC's counselor organized the 1-on-1 meet for all junior year students under her and parents are welcome. I double checked with her regarding the 17% acceptance rate and she specifically mentioned that some kids with GPA 4.6 or 4.5 did not get accepted.

I can validate that at least one student with 4.5 GPA did not get admitted to UVA. They got into T20's so it is all good.

What do they look for then? Could be specific Major where too many top TJ kids applied

Could be the essay, UVA doesn't do yield protection.

It is baffling. It does seem like UVA does not do much yield protection like say U Mich. But these students that I know a little bit are really strong students, and it might be possible that they took the essays not too seriously.

DC asked if they really need to take UVA essay that seriously while writing it. That some friends were submitting essays without too much effort. They are got into T20 schools and UVA is in their mind a safety. Something I spent sometime disabusing of that notion.
