UVA - better EA, ED, or RD

What about high stats 4.6, 1580? Do these stats get shut out of EA in-state?

EA or RD? DC doesn't want to ED.

UVa admissions sometimes feels like a lottery. Same with VT for Engineering or W&M and for various other places.

ED has best odds at UVa, then EA. Rd has worst odds. UVa wants students who strongly want UVa. ED and EA are ways students show that.

If your instate 4.4+ most students get in ed or ea. I think standardized scores are not as critical. Uva seems like to like students who took tough classes in high school.

UVA does not yield protect. They don't have to. They know that their yield of admitted Virginia kids has been consistent for many years.

THis. I've been studying VA admissions for ten years. UVA does not yield protect

Even for OOS students?

Different poster but no, they don't. At 2 privates I know well, they literally took the Ivy admits this year and no one else.

+2 Same at my DC’s private. Only the very top kids. These are the kids also getting into Duke, Northwestern, Yale, Wharton, etc.

Yes even for OOS. They do not need to.

UVA doesn't yield protect. There is no way for state flagships to accurately predict - plenty of kids will choose UVA over an Ivy for financial reasons.

On the other hand, UVA and every school does compare applicants to kids at their high school and generally in their area. So a 4.3 and 1500 kid from TJHS might be rejected while a kid with the same stats from rural Virginia might be accepted.

Last year very strong students were accepted ED but only strongest students were accepted EA (NOVA). I imagine the difference will be even more stark this year with the elimination of supplemental essay and continuation of TO.

No matter where you’re coming from or when you’re applying, taking the most rigorous classes in core subject areas is essential.

It is important for everyone to understand that UVa is not a classic state university with a large undergraduate student body. GMU, JMU, ODU, and VT each have LOTS more undergraduate students than UVa, because UVa is on the smaller side for a public university.

Also, UVa's other specialized undergraduate schools (e.g., Architecture, Commerce, Engineering, & Nursing) also are smallish for a public university. Each of those schools has a separate admissions pool and process, from each other and from Arts&Sciences.

We didn't see that our school. ED had a lower threshold than EA and EA results were all over the place. Some top kids were accepted, but many more were waitlisted in EA, only to get into higher ranked school. It is a lottery if you don't ED.

That's what we saw too (in Nova area). Some really top kids were rejected EA but got into higher ranked schools. So weird.

At our DC private every single UVA admit was also admitted to an Ivy. It's crazy competitive and they don't yield protect.
