This Friday may be joyful for some and tearful for others. Good luck everyone!

They don't usually take a high percentage from this round so likely will be alot of heartbreak though I'd assume most who apply RD are probably not counting on it.

Hoping for lots of good news for everybody who is waiting for Friday!

Stats from Dr. J's Blog: http://uvaapplication.blogspot.com/2022/03/2022-uva-regular-decision-admission.html

Total Applications
Total applications: 50,962 (48,011 last year)
Total number of VA apps: 14,305
Total number of OOS apps: 36,657

Total Offers of Admission
Overall offers: 9,522
Total VA offers: 3,946 (28% offer rate)
Total OOS offers: 5,576 (15% offer rate)
It's misleading to average these offer rates together because residency is a major factor in our review. If you are going to share these numbers, cite BOTH offer rates.


Total Regular Decision Applications
Total RD applications: 16,306 (16,060 last year)
Total number of VA RD apps: 3,924
Total number of OOS RD apps: 12,382

Total Regular Decision Offers of Admission
Overall RD offers: 2,123 (2,628 last year)
Total VA RD offers: 650 (17% offer rate)
Total OOS RD offers: 1,473 (12% offer rate)
We do not try to figure out an individual student's likelihood of enrolling (demonstrated interest), but overall yield influences the offer rate. Out-of-state residents tend to have a lower yield rate than Virginia residents. You can see yield rates on the statistics website.

Defers and Waiting List
VA Deferred students offered admission: 72 (162 last year)
OOS Deferred students offered admission: 83 (150)
Waiting list offers: 16% (18% last year)

The number of kids who were deferred and later admitted seems very, very low. Makes me pretty anxious waiting for the release tomorrow.

+1 I hope people who wanted to go to UVA applied ED.

If they already know, why not release decisions today?

Wow, not looking good for my kid deferred from EA.

We're in the same boat. Two years ago, my son was admitted in the RD after being deferred EA. The blog post that year said 8% of deferrals that cycle were admitted. This year the number is just a shade over 3%. Steep odds at this point.

You might be new to this. Lots of colleges put the decisions out on Fridays so you have a weekend to come to terms with the results if they aren't good.

So they want to ruin a kid’s weekend?
