Weighted or unweighted?

Looks like unweighted:

Percentage of all enrolled, degree-seeking, first-time, first-year students who had high school gradepoint averages within each of the following ranges (using 4.0 scale).

I am expecting deferral for my high stat+strong EC kid. UVA accepted about 10 kids ED from kid’s school this year.

Does UVA recalculate GPA?

How big is the class? That really matters.

Early Action Applications
Total number of Early Action applications: 57,495 (41,885 last year)
Total number of VA apps: 13,445 (11,240)
Total number of OOS apps: 44,050 (30,645)
We use completed applications in our statistics.

Early Action Offers
Overall offers: 7,151
Total VA offers: 3,071 (23% offer rate)
Total OOS offers: 4,080 (9% offer rate)
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.

Defers: 8,480 (14.7%)
Deferred students can opt-into the Regular Decision round in their portals and can withdraw at any time. The Deferred Student Information page is linked in decision letters.

Our total applicant pool (ED, EA, and RD) is just under 83,000 students.

What is the mix of in-state vs OOS students overall? Surprise to see more offers for OOS than for VA.

Looks like UVA admits high, higher, and highest stats. Which is it?

They try to keep it around 65% instate. Instate is more likely to attend that’s why so many OOS.

[Anonymous]

Crazy only about 3,000 instate state offers considering there are almost 1000 highschools in Va

“There are 965 high schools in Virginia, made up of 666 public schools and 299 private schools”

It helps the public universities deal with 70,000+ applications it had received by Dec 15if last year. The publics do not have the resources of private universities to devote to application processing - hence, each public system has established a notification date system that works for it. Other states are the same

It received 79,133 in December 2925, up 2.9%
