There is no reason for UVA to still be test optional. They need to get rid of that. There is too much grade inflation and variation among the high schools

Final decision is based on GPA



Very few deferred/waitlisted kids end up getting into UVA at our private school. Do you see a consistent number of deferred kids getting in at your school?

Very few get in from any kind of high school.

UGA is T20 public. Comparing rankings within a certain tier, such as T20 public, is ridiculous.


Come on. UGA is 46 out of national universities and UVA is 26. UVA is in an entirely different league than UGA. I agree that UGA is a great school. BTW, my DC toured and loved it. Was actually deferred from UGA and accepted at UNC and UVA (in state).


Neither of them are top 25, so does it really matter?


What doesn't matter is your false reliance on on ranking source over another to come up with a random Top 25. None of that matters. Employers know the schools they recruit from and why they want those school's graduates and they are not basing it off some random USWR ranking for their decisions. I know this blows your mind but it's time to face reality here.


Says the person who responded to 46 and 26 rankings.


So you admit the rankings are meaningless?


Yes after the top 20…..😁


Good thing UGA made it in as a T20 public


But only 46 in top American universities. No one cites the top public listing, which you are. https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/university-of-georgia-1598


Hate to burst your bubble, but seriously most people don't cite or care about any of that crap. Take that back....except for here. :/


False. Ask any college counselor or family gearing up for college admissions. It’s all USNWR.


No reputable college counselor would cite rankings. Some private counselors might be unethical and stupid enough to play along with it if it helps their “business”


Not true at all. I am one. It’s all we talk sboiy


Then you’re not very good at it.

That may be the case but the point is they are deferred so UVA can look at them in context of all applicants from your school.

I think they all do to a certain extent. Some more than others.


How would a large university yield protect with 50,000+ applications? Seriously, explain how you think that would work.


They would do it through analytics. There are consulting companies that can determine likelihood of enrollment of accepted students.


You’ve posted this conspiracy before. It’s bullshit. The AO’s would be run out of town by angry mobs if they did this.


I haven't posted here before. What I told you is how it is done if they yield protect. This analytics is already done. They need to forecast enrollment from acceptances.


Calculating yield is different from yield protection. Of course schools use analytics to determine how many acceptances will turn to deposits but that does NOT mean better qualified students won’t be offered admission. There is a huge difference that surely you understand.

+1
Your kid is competing against all the other kids at their school who also applied to UVA, because they don't want all the kids to come from the same school.

80,000 at least for this year. No, UVA does not yield protect.


82,089 applications.
