Divided by 30% yield rate. It’s more like 50% acceptance rate so far.

They will accept way more than 6675. Probably 3 times more.

If this is not yield protection. I don't know what is.. (I know they don't officially practice yield protection.. I have a bridge to sell ya)

DC has admits at other higher ranked schools so no big deal but feel bad for others who were treating Tech as their first choice.


Where is DC accepted?


Michigan, UVA, UMD, Northeastern


Waitlisted with these credentials must mean - waiting to see if DC withdraws the application...
But given some other stats on this page, engineering admits are sounding like UVA admits

However, we feel bad for DS's friend who had similar stats but was waitlisted for the business school.

It's a weird year.


What is your ethnicity?

I guess that is what "yield protection" is. they can tell if it is your first choice--or your 5th.

I guess they can tell if it is your financial first choice based on your FAFSA


We did not submit a FAFSA


Rich and smart! You and leave VT for the rest of us.

Hadn’t considered the FAFSa angle, but it might be part of the profile. Note at least two disappointed people here also said not their first choice. Still, no sure way to know.

Brutal, Tech is a safety no more. If it helps anyone, we know several people who got in off the waitlist last year but that was in June, which is a long way to go.
