Remember Yield is about 29%. The data that was shared earlier in the post is eye opening.
Is that a low yield?
Itās definitely the normal portal address, we have the address saved in a doc to log in from when the app was submitted and itās the same address from Nov.

Roughly 30% accept offers that come out.
I think yield varies a lot though between programs and in state and OOS. The OOS yield is surprisingly low for some programs - I think thatās why the OOS acceptance rate for some programs is higher than in stateā¦they need to accept so many more to get yield.

Agree. For my daughters degree yield for instate was 45% but OOS was 19%.
My OOS junior engineering student got $3k her first 2 yrs.
She got $7500 this year from her major Dept (& that other 3k disappeared).
Youāre confirming what Iāve heard. My OOS freshman is going to change her major, but weāre waiting until fall (sheās in Pamplin, and we donāt want to give up a spot until she takes a few intro classes in the new major to confirm thatās her path). There seems to be quite a few scholarships available in that major, so fingers crossed sheāll pick up something more, but not betting on it. 
Sadly, it is true. President Sands has made it very clear that he intends to increase enrollment, as well as other areas (research, etc.). This has been a space problem for the last 5-6 years (maybe longer) and according to him, it will be another 4+ years before space is no longer an issue. Currrent infrastructure doesnāt support these initiatives. Donāt get me wrong, I LOVE my school. Just frustrated for many reasons.

Agree! Late āhurtsā yield. DS23 selected GT b/c announced so earlyā¦ and he just kind of marinated in the idea for 1-2 months and was sold on it. DS25 is early admit to UVA and may well land with that as the idea of the university takes hold. Only getting into a big like Duke/JHU/other might sway his opinionā¦ but with those schools at 5% admit rateā¦ I can see where early benefits schools say in the 12-25 range or so.
Iām guessing decisions will not be tomorrow since itās close to 3pm ET and nothing has been announced on social media. Sigh.

Still holding out hope for tomorrowā¦ maybe theyāll announce by 5?
Iām wondering if VT is the only one doing it correctly by waiting so late. Yes, lots of schools already notified their EA applicants BUT a majority of those notified were deferred due to the large increase in number of applicants. Maybe with VTās late date, more applicants will receive real decisions.

I donāt know about all their different socials but I know @Juanmorehokie on Twitter announced the day before for the last few years. Some of those were 4pm and later so still some hope?

If I had to guess it would be that it wonāt be tomorrow but I would love to be wrong.
