From your comments you sound relieved. Accepted OOS at Michigan and deferred in state UVA…goes to show you just how hard it is to get in at UVA. Coveted acceptances for those who really know and appreciate the school.

Loling at this. Did you know UVA's OOS yield is on par with GMU's?


False. GMU's OOS yield is 16%. UVA's is 60%

Accepted in-state small private DD. 1540, 4.0 UW. However, DD has heard of many surprise deferrals and rejections (1500+ SAT, top 5%, etc.) and thinks it really came down to essays and letters of recommendation this year.

Are people just not posting, or are there a lot of deferrals?

Do Maryland high schools weight their HS courses differently? FCPS is +.5 for honors and +1 for AP


Yes, MD HS provide same weight for honors as AP


Arlington doesn’t even weight honors. Weighted GPAs are worthless.


+1

They recalculate themselves—they look at uw

Wow! UNC is no small feat coming from VA. Congrats! What major?
I don’t blame you for staying in VA though.

It's all good news as your DC can move forward on their college journey! My DD has made the decision that a deferral means she will go where she's been accepted and is excited about that! She will not be waiting for the next round. Congrats to all the new Hoos!


Michigan is fantastic. She can move ahead with it as her top choice and if Virginia comes through, she can re-evaluate. Congratulations on Michigan!

opposite here. OOS accept to Virginia, oos deferral to Michigan, oos rejection to UNC.


Pp here. I was referring to the poster’s kid who UVA deferred.


Yes I know. I was making a point that her kid got in Michgan and mine got deferred, but flipped for UVA. You win some, you lose some - which is why everyone needs a good list.
