[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 [b]some may be exceptionally strong students[/b]).

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]

Is this true? Some, sure, but I would think EA and RD would have more of the tippy top kids. For those kids, UVA might be a back up and they are ED’ing elsewhere. I know no top 30 school is really a back up for anyone these days, but anyway. [/quote]
