UVa has become out of reach for many hard-working instate students and that makes me sad. Instead, they take money from internationals and out-of-staters. They have done little change that. I’m an alum.
Maybe they should increase the class size.
The grounds can’t handle it. They need to increase in-state admission. They also need to expand offerings online. That is what a board member did, even going as far as to get Teresa Sullivan the boot. She was reinstated after the snobs got her back in. Let’s make UVa, a supposed public university for the students of Virginia, elite again.
That is a strange re-telling of what happened with Teresa Sullivan. When the BOV tries to plan and make back room deals with outside interests WITHOUT the president of the school, s$&t will hit the fan. UVA takes less state money every year because Richmond keeps cutting funding. UVA is 70% instate students with a huge endowment. I will not be surprised if they go private sooner than later as they become more financially independent from the state.

The grounds could handle a hundred or so more.

Sorry your rejection still stings.

+1. I think it's
1) the U of Maryland students and graduates
2) the parents of UVA students who didn't get in
3) the UVA applicant students who didn't get in
4) The Virginia Tech students (there's a long-standing rivalry between UVA and VT)
5) The NoVA parents who are frustrated that they pay so much in taxes but can't get their kids into the top Virginia universities (who didn't even bother to apply because their child doesn't have the 4.40 GPA, and 33 ACT)
6) all compounded by the recent statistics of how difficult it was to get into VT this year.
For a more accurate feel, watch the threads on College Confidential. Some say results will be posted at 6:00 p.m. today. https://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-virginia/2062370-uva-class-of-2022-rd-decisions-p4.html. Good luck to those who applied!
I think it's one person who has way too much time on their hands. It seems like a lot of people are into UVA.
College Confidential just reposts the updates the dean gives on twitter.

40% admissions rate. The links that get shared here all the time show that Fairfax and London have higher admissions rates than the state average.
No. Admissions rate for EA class of 2022 was only 27.8%. https://news.virginia.edu/content/uva-releases-early-action-decisions-spawning-social-media-tsunami
That's the overall rate. They have different numbers for Virginia and out of state.

I sometimes give UVA boosters a hard time when they post something ridiculous and/or act like jerks. I am none of the above.
Good luck to the applicants.

No one is impressed by you admitting that you'd pick a school based on a basketball Team. ?
I have never been impressed by any UVA grads. I have hired kids from nearly every other school in the area over thevarrogant UVA grads. Never been let down by any of them. News flash UVA is not all that great.
Are UVA grads interested in your McJob?
Apparently since they send us their resume. Unless they are so unqualified coming out they have to go with the blanket approach.
My McJob pays a lot of $$$ by the way.
