A couple notes:
1. I do not have additional statistics. I know people want to see how many students were admitted without testing. I was not given that number.


Early Action Applications
Total number of Early Action applications: 28,897 (25,160 last year)
Total number of VA apps: 7,849
Total number of OOS apps: 21,048
We use completed applications in our statistics.

Early Action Offers
Overall offers: 6,186
Total VA offers: 2,380 (30% offer rate)
Total OOS offers: 3,806 (18% offer rate)
Enrollment Goal: ~3,750
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.

Is this the enrollment goal for EA or overall? They seem to have a little over 4000 students per class. Does this mean that there are only a few hundred spots left for regular decision?

I think they have made certain yield assumptions... given the record number of applications at "top schools" yield projections may be off (e.g. high stats students applying to 10+ schools)

All colleges over enroll to account for yield. UVAs traditional yield is like what? 40%? 50%?

That’s the enrollment goal for the entire class, not just EA.

60% do or in state.

And how many typically accept from EA?

60% in state; 24% OOS; 40% overall.

However, this year is so wacky, they may get oversubscribed. VA residents are looking for bargains and better VA students might have gotten deferred at privates this year, leaving UVA as a more necessary fallback. Likewise, striving OOS students might have fared poorly at selective privates leaving selective publics as a fallback. It just seems that elective privates got sooo many additional applicants this year. Who knows, but it could get ugly.

As a previous poster said, there are only a couple hundred spaces left for RD.

ED filled 26% of the class. 3750*.26= 975 already committed
EA admitted 6186*.4 (blended yield) = 2474 likely students
Likely slots left for RD = 3750-975-2574=201 positions probably remaining

Messed up the last line: 3750-975-2474 = 301 positions remaining/ if 40% yield holds, then 752 admits for RD.

LOL, either you are in the inside and establishing realistic expectations or a statistics guru, either way great analysis.

The enrollment goal is 3750. To achieve that, they probably offer admission to about 9000 students (for the current first year class, this number was 8420 per Dean J's blog).

That means over 5000 spaces remain for RD applicants, including those deferred during ED/EA.

OK, my math sucks, too. If they offered 975 in ED and 6186 in EA, that leaves about 1500 - 2000 spaces left (I used the EA yield cited above, instead of the total number of offers).

In any case, it's a more than just a few hundred.
