[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA publishes statistics on admissions. It is very open about that. SCHEV also has online numbers.

For a well-qualified in-state student, the statistical odds of admission to UVa are best ED, EA is 2nd best, and RD is hardest (again statistically speaking).

Thanks. I checked the stats and definitely see that ED has a much higher admissions rate (though I suspect some of these are hooked and some may be exceptionally strong students).

But I am wondering about the strategy for someone who is qualified but not at all a shoo-in. Do people think UVA would look at the classes and assume the GPA will continue to go up incrementally (in which case, kid would go ED)? Or is it better to wait to have the stronger GPA in hand? [/quote]

ED is not "exceptionally strong students"  
An exceptionally strong student for UVA is likely shooting their shot at a T15 school
ED is people who are special admits like athletic recruits and people who are in the meaty middle of the admit pile.

My WAG is if your stats are 50/50 for UVA, then ED probably makes that 80/20   [/quote]

My exceptionally strong student (I’ll list stats and more if you wish) applied ED to UVA because she could care less about T-15 name schools. We are full pay and can afford to pay private. She’s Echols at UVA and loves it there. Exceptionally strong students do apply to UVA![/quote]

Same. My strong student did UVA ED.[/quote]

Same here.
Did he submit anything else other than the LOCI form? [/quote]
