adding that OOS legacies are considered in the 2/3 in-state pool of admissions.


UVA dropped legacy hooks this past summer but if you have a relevant legacy story the applicant can put it in a supplemental essay

UVA is tricky. You can’t tell from naviance if the OOS kids who were rejected took the courses that UVA expects them to take. The most important thing to UVA is the coursework and the grades. A 4.5 or 4.6 doesn’t tell you much.

At my kid’s oos school a ton of kids are applying this year even though they know that they don’t have the coursework or grades that are needed tp get in.

No one ever gets in from our OOS school...last year, 14 applied, ONE admitted They had a 4.6 GPA and a 36 ACT. The kid with the 4.5 GPA and 35 got denied. Nuts!

The SCHEV website is down apparently, but it has all of this information. No need to listen to various posters talking out of theirs a$$es like what’s going on here.

I used our school’s naviance. Mostly rejections for our OOS suburban high school even at the highest sat and GPAs. I figure our school’s track record is as good to go on as overall stats.

Thanks, Captain obvious. Doesn’t come close to answering OP’s question though.

The 12% OOS acceptance rate means even kids with great stats aren't getting in.

Scores/gpa, something extra? Public/private?


SCHEV, state council of higher education has everything. Go to wiki and read. Then go to SCHEV.edu. everything statistically that you could want is there, Virginia is very transparent . more than any other state/commonwealth.
