[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are the 2025-2026 Statistics from DeanJ:

“Early Decision Applications
Total number of Early Decision applications: 5,108 (4,971 last year)
Total number of VA apps: 3,077 (2,795 last year)
Total number of OOS apps: 2,031 (2,176 last year)

We use completed applications in our statistics.

Early Decision Offers
Overall offers: 1,225 (1,282)
Total VA offers: 766 (25% offer rate)
Total OOS offers: 459 (23% offer rate)”[/quote]

She also blogged about this year’s ED cycle.  The statistics are not all that different this year, and continue to reflect that UVA is an extremely difficult university to earn admission as a graduating senior.  No one should feel bad if their daughter or son was rejected.

It’s nearly impossible to get into UVA.[/quote]

The statistics indicate otherwise:

“ Total number of VA apps: 3,077 (2,795 last year)

Total VA offers: 766.”[/quote]

You are not looking at the actual statistics required to get in to UVA. The 75th percentile of UVA students entering last fall had a 4.5 and a 35 ACT. Harvard’s 75th percentile had a 4.4.

Even if you were to look at just the selectivity figures - which I think is the argument you are trying to make - those applicants (the 3,077) are the very best students in VA who have been prescreened by their public high school counselor who have access to SCHEV, or, in private SCOIR. Unlike the Ivies, UVA gives very clear odds as to chances of getting in, so high school students like my own know there isnt a chance in hell - but there is a slight chance at Harvard due to legacy and other factors. So the high school counselors are much more readily apt to agree to throw in a Harvard application.

Finally, that group of 3,000 also includes the in- state Virginians who use UVA as a safety to the Ivies or SLACs, just as another of my kids did, which was a good thing nbecause he was waitlisted at the Ivies so went to UVA.[/quote]
