Thank you to last years poster for a bit of optimism. As a parent of a high stats student rejected this year, I found it VERY helpful.
And to the poster who needs to be the playground bully, buzz off and just ignore posts if you don’t find them helpful. Stop speaking on behalf of everyone because you don’t.

Sorry for those deferred/rejected. Curious as to most of these are OOS.

Last cycle, a good number of kids came off waitlist, especially oos arts and science.
Not really, it was a small single digit percentage . . . just like with the Ivies and top SLACs. Calling it a "soft rejection" is correct. My DS received 7 soft rejections from Ivies and top SLACs he applied to. It is what it is.
Weird, because after years of barely going to waitlist, UVA took 5 kids off waitlist among Baltimore privates alone.
Not "weird" at all. But you cite to only 5 kids. And we don't believe you anyhow. And you must be referring to a previous year, which means nothing in today's college admissions wars.

In or out of state?
DP here. I know top VA students who have been rejected, similar stats. Some posters insist UVA does not yield protect, but in all my years, I have seen differently. If UVA thinks you will pick a "higher" school, they will not admit you. Also, schools are not supposed to communicate with each other about whom they choose, but there is some degree of understanding, such that other schools accept in lieu of. Again, this is not supposed to happen, but I have seen it.
This is something people tell themselves to feel better. My high stats dd was deferred last year and the kids who got in all had even higher stats.

Sorry, meant to say "NOVA" public high school.
Do the state schools care about full pay?
UVA does not, they are need blind.
