UVA hates VA privates is the explanation we are primarily hearing.

Just boosters, personally would be choosing between UNC and aMichigan, UGA isn’t in the same tier.

We heard apps to UGA are up. Top DC private.

Not at ours. Although any applications would be an increase. Top of class favors UVA, UCs, UNC, MI. Lower end U of SC, Tennessee, Auburn.

Your school might be a little behind. It’s okay, the kids getting in UGA seem to be really excited!

UGA is pretty close. Close enough that it’s a valid consideration.

To me this means UVA has lost sight of their mission; they are not truly attainable for the vast majority of instate applicants anymore.

That’s nit UVA’s mission, nor is it W&M’s or VT’s. There are over 30 public colleges and universities in VA plus the guaranteed transfer program. There is no other state system like it save Texas and California.

Cite that access isn’t part of the mission at UVA, VT, WM??

What's the point? There are probably more than 6000 students with similar stats and only 3000 instate seats.

Who said similar stats is the goal? Perhaps UVA wants students from Wise County that have lower stats, but they’re in the top 5% of a rural school.

OK. Now we have 6500 qualified students for 3000 seats.

Congrats, you just answered your question and OP’s question. There IS a point to access across the state which could be why stats don’t tell the entire story.

I didn't have a question and I did not say stat told the whole story. It does tell me that 3500 students will wonder why they didn't get in.

Why would anyone wonder why they didn’t get in? Lots of qualified applicants don’t get in highly selective colleges. There doesn’t have to be a clear reason and you are owed no explanation.

Wow. Talk about reading comprehension amongst the youth.

I agree with you: it doesn’t make sense.

Fortunately, the acceptance to three excellent schools is amazing. I know current students and alums at all three, and everyone has positive reviews.

My only caution re: Michigan is the weather. It’s brutal. Forget how lovely it is in the summertime because students aren’t typically there over the summer. I know a kid who transferred out after realizing the gray, cold, snow tundra wasn’t for him.

I mean…I’m an alum and my very high stats OOS kid got in to UVA EA last week. So you’d think I’d be on team “UVA doesn’t yield protect.” But I 100% believe UVA yield protects on OOS students. They can call it something else—e.g. “fit”—but the outcome is the same. It is totally rational that they would consider an OOS kid’s likelihood of actually accepting their offer when making their decision. I think virtually all schools outside the top 10 or 20 are doing this! It’s not an insult to UVA.

I really do not see UVA yield protecting OOS at all. They have the GPA line. When year-after-year they take the top 8 applicants in the class and 1 out of 8 matriculates while the other 7 go to Ivies this is not yield protecting. This is the opposite.

Perhaps they do different things for different high schools. The green line is crystal clear at ours.

+1
