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.

OOS acceptance rate for EA is 9 percent! Shocking.

Sorry!

What do you think might have been the sticking point? Maybe the “religious education” part turned off the admissions officer?

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!

Why? Kid can only go to one school.

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

.

It’s actually almost 16,000 more applicants. Mostly out of state. 13,500ish more OOS. If you don’t have to write any supplementals, why not apply? So different from when my son applied in 2022.

Appears to be a foregone conclusion the total first year applications to UVA will exceed 90K this year.

So you think an extra 11,000 applications this year, are about equally from more in-state, out-of-state and international? Was the essay optional this year (but not last year)?

Sorry, I had asked that, and had missed your response! Wow, that’s significant.

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!

Congratulations!

Guesses for OOS and in-state increase:

- generally increased interest in southern schools

- inflation / cost / trend toward public flagships over costly privates

- trend away from urban campuses

- rising reputation of UVA

- removal of supplemental essays.
