[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think OP got into UVA.  Greek row is stunningly beautiful.  UVA keeps popping up as no. 1 or no. 2 for most beautiful on those never-ending ratings lists.  My DD attends there and is involved in other clubs, not the greek scene, but I've driven by those buildings many times and don't know what OP is talking about.[/quote]

[b]Could you cite one of those rankings?  TIA![/quote][/b]

Here are some.  PrepScholar says the average GPA at UVA is now 4.26.  In DC's class, at convocation on the lawn , President Teresa Sullivan said that 93 or 94% of class of 2020 was in the top 10% of the class. 823 had perfect SATs.  DC's class comes from all 50 states and 84 countries.  Average ACT 30-to 34.  DC's ACT was a 36.  4.15 GPA. National honors.  Only two from his high school got in so I don't know where these people are coming from that say that 25% of their high school class attended.  With the possible exception of T.J. (480 students in a class - sometimes 86 might go to UVA) that's impossible.

For the class of 2021 there was a surge of thousands applications over the norm (see stats. below).  The biggest increase were from OOS and international students.  Depending on the press release you read, 94.6% or "almost all" of the accepted students were in top ten percent of their high school class.  Note 1,000 are first-generation college students and 33% URM.

Here's some google stats as of March 23:

"here are all the “unofficial” numbers released by the UVa admissions office:

Total number of applications: 36,807 (up from 32,426 last year)
Total number of VA applications: 10,942 (up from 9,653 last year)
Total number of out-of-state applications: 25,865 (up from 22,773)

Overall offers: 9,957 (9,416 this time last year)
Total VA offers:  4,276 or 39% of resident applications (4,019/41.6% last year)
Total out-of-state offers:  5,681 or 22% of nonresident applications (5,397/23.7% last year)

Note that the offers of admission for nonresidents are higher because historic yield for nonresidents is generally lower than that for in-state student.

In a press release, UVa reports that of those admitted, over 1,000 are first-generation college students and more than 35 percent identify as members of a minority group. They come from all 50 states and 89 countries around the world.

And they present outstanding credentials. For those admitted who submitted new SAT scores, the middle 50 percent range was 1330-1490 (Dean J notes that “way more” students submitted the new SAT than the old, so she dropped the stats about the old exam). The middle 50 percent ACT composite was 31-34. And 93.4 percent of admitted students were in the top ten percent of their high school class, for those who attend schools that report rank.[/quote]
