Can you say which HS ?

It's West Springfield.

West Potomac has 6 or more too.

The Wests did well! Westfield, West Springfield, and West Po!

Our DC private had 4 acceptances in ED.

I am not the previous poster, but my kid (who applied EA) goes to Westfield and they have at least ten confirmed seniors accepted to UVA so far. Eight on their Instagram (all boys), plus two girls I know personally who didn't post. I do not know their stats.

Public Ivies, of course.

Not a thing.

Yes. It’s been “a thing” since 1985. Go to Wikipedia and look up
Public Ivies

It's a gimmick for a book.

The Ivy League is a sports conference.

UVA is tied for #4 public in USNWR.

Our DC private went like 1 out of 11 this year.

Our NOVA private got only 1. We were stunned at the deferrals. All great candidates, all in state.

This. Really unfortunate for VA kids this year. It will be a record-breaking number of applications. Kids only have to pay the fee and hit submit in common app with no extra essays.

UVA didn’t suddenly get more popular for reasons like “not too northern, not too southern” and status as the #4 ranked public ivy.

From the article:

"As of mid-December, UVA had already surpassed the number of total applications it received last year: 70,133 compared with 64,457. It will continue to receive applications for the regular decision cycle until Jan. 5."



I think they likely got to 90K by Jan 5.

17K applied RD last year and I would imagine with no supplementals this could easily go up to 25K. I bet they reach 90K overall.

Where is this number from? Not the admissions blog.

They had 64K total last year. I can’t imagine they’ve already surpassed that.

Yes, they were at 70,133 by early Dec.
It's in the article that this DCUM post is about.

Let’s be real, UVA admissions are not more competitive than Harvard lol
