You can see the benefit from their CDS.
Last year, ED admit rate was 24%.
RD admit rate was 16%.
This year:
VA ED accept rate 29.5%
VA RD accept rate 11%
OOS ED accept rate 21%
OOS RD accept rate 9%
ED is the way to go.
Any in state applicant who doesn't apply ED to UVA is foolish.
Unless they ED to W&M, of course.

Do you really? Won't it hurt either way? if they are accepted to all tho others, you are forced to let them go. If they are rejected, won't you hate them a little bit more and fear you kid 'barely' made the cut? IMHO its better not to know.

then you can reassess
No, you cannot "reassess" if you get into W&M ED. If you are admitted ED1, you are committed to attending W&M and must withdraw all other apps. W&M issues its ED1 decisions in December (as does UVA); UVA doesn't release EA decisions until mid-February. The deadline for applying ED2 to W&M is in January, before the UVA EA results are released. And W&M does not offer EA.
^to clarify the above, you are of course also obligated to attend W&M if you are admitted ED2 (not just ED1).
When I said "reassess" I meant, pending answers. Obv if you get in to an ED you go

OP, can you EA @ UVa and ED at W&M?
Disclaimer - I am not saying ED applicants are subpar.
The advice from school and private counselors is to ED if you stats are a little lower bc they are more willing to take a chance in the beginning.

ED is binding. EA just lets you know a little earlier than RD.

UVA is ED now. Gotta choose one. One of the reasons WM likes ED. It’s getting the kids for whom WM isn’t a consolation prize after a UVA rejection.
I am the person you are quoting. What do you mean, UVA is ED now? My child got into UVA EA this year (for fall entrance).
