Anyone have stats for kids admitted from out of state?
Scores/gpa, something extra? Public/private? |

| IME (southern private and highly ranked VA public) stats are the same. |

SCHEV, state council of higher education has everything. Go to wiki and read. Then go to SCHEV.edu. everything statistically that you could want is there, Virginia is very transparent . more than any other state/commonwealth. |

| OOS slots are limited to about 1/3rd of the 1st year class. UVa is a much smaller school overall than most flagship public universities (e.g., UC anywhere, Michigan, UNC, UMD) and also is visibly smaller than multiple other VA publics (e.g., VT, GMU, and several others in VA). |

| The 12% OOS acceptance rate means even kids with great stats aren't getting in. |

Thanks, Captain obvious. Doesn’t come close to answering OP’s question though. |

| I used our school’s naviance. Mostly rejections for our OOS suburban high school even at the highest sat and GPAs. I figure our school’s track record is as good to go on as overall stats. |

| The SCHEV website is down apparently, but it has all of this information. No need to listen to various posters talking out of theirs a$$es like what’s going on here. |

| No one ever gets in from our OOS school...last year, 14 applied, ONE admitted They had a 4.6 GPA and a 36 ACT. The kid with the 4.5 GPA and 35 got denied. Nuts! |

UVA is tricky. You can’t tell from naviance if the OOS kids who were rejected took the courses that UVA expects them to take. The most important thing to UVA is the coursework and the grades. A 4.5 or 4.6 doesn’t tell you much.
At my kid’s oos school a ton of kids are applying this year even though they know that they don’t have the coursework or grades that are needed tp get in. |

| The out of state pool is where legacy matters. |

NP adding that OOS legacies are considered in the 2/3 in-state pool of admissions. |

UVA dropped legacy hooks this past summer but if you have a relevant legacy story the applicant can put it in a supplemental essay |
