Might be better to share rank to show how kid compares to peers instead of gpa. Also did the deferred students have enough foreign language credits?

Rejected. OOS, top 30% at a Big3, close to max rigor. 1510 SAT, excellent ECs, extremely strong personal statement. DC expected this given the amount of apps this year. Congrats to all who were accepted!

SCOIR showed 100% acceptance, but that was prior to them getting rid essays and getting an extra 11,000 applicants over last year's process....


UVA got an extra 11000 applicants this year vs. last year? Dang!! Where are they all coming from? In-state?


Everywhere. When you have no essay, cost is the only barrier. Now it's just like Pitt or Clemson or Northeastern.

Rejected OOS. Competitive public (but not one that sends a lot of kids to UVA), 4.0 GPA, 11 APs (5s and 4s) 1530 SAT, Multivariable Cal, Linear Algebra. Applied as a History major. Strong ECs, athlete on nationally ranked team. DC is in at his top choice university already so this is not a heartbreaker but we were hoping for this as an option nevertheless. Congratulations to those accepted!

It will be interesting to see what their yield is this year. My guess is it goes down. Not all of these applicants are going to be super enthralled with the school.

My kid was in that pile. On the fence about applying, no supplementals got him over it.

Same. In state, 4.38, lots of rigor. High test score though, but I don’t think UVA cares about test scores at all. I will report back.


I am back to report that my DC was accepted!
