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.
Not necessarily true. We can see the Naviance scattergrams for our school. There was no rhyme or reason to the acceptances. Some students with higher GPA/SAT were rejected while students with lower GPA/SAT were accepted. Not sure I would call it yield protection but UVA definitely does a “wholistic” review. Maybe the lower stat kid solved world hunger - who knows, but definitely higher stat kids get rejected in favor of lower stat kids within the same school even.
Same! And what sucks is a lot of these donut hole families need in-state tuition!! They can’t pay $90k/year even if they get in a higher ranked university- do it’s presumptuous to yield protect like that.
They can pay in-state tuition at JMU, VCU, etc.
LOL tell that to a white or chinese kid who was rejected with (truly) top stats. You better hope you intermarried with another background.
You don't get to decide what they're looking for. Perhaps they want less attitudes like this.
I don't care but I would suppose VA taxpayers care.

Yes,for some strange reason all students from TJ !
Nah. TJ historically has high admit numbers for UVA. You have to "create" an essay, then you are golden, otherwise.
This is no longer true. The admitted rate was in low 20s for tj class of 2023.

No, compelling applications are admitted. Top stats are not a guarantee.
So, they pass up first gen for a good story on the essay? Holy crap.

Can’t be yield protection when it’s ED. Those students are committing to attend if accepted.
