Yes the overall acceptance rate last year was 17%, and OOS was lower. So clearly everyone is getting in.

Michigan is way more popular nationally than UVA. It receives double the applications and has a higher yield without using ED to achieve it.

Well, gee, maybe that's because it has over double the students at 52K. UVA is 24K. And Californians and west coaster apply to UVA because it's warmer. Four fifths of the 57,000 applications to UVA last year were OOS.

I highly doubt many Californians would apply to UVA. When my kid was attending UC, his classmates had not heard of UVA.

Pfft! I'm from L.A. and of course we all knew of UVA. It was then no 2 or 3 on USNWR for best public university. Californians are having a hard time getting into the U.C. and some Cal State schools. The next less expensive option are OOS publics, which meant UVA. Michigan is considered too cold. I didn't want to go to UCLA or Berkeley because of their size. SLACs are too expensive. .That leaves the OOS publics. https://news.virginia.edu/content/class-2020-random-connection-brought-californian-uva

UVA OOS COA is $80k. Not much of savings from SLACs with likely less aid.

I forgot to add Chicago, also in a “too cold” climate

2022 18

5 year total 68

If you are from LA, you sure don’t know much about the area. Zero matriculants from a state of 40,000,000 says a lot about the desirability of UVA in that part of the country. Trust me, it isn’t because UVA is harder to get into than HYPSM.

“Michigan is considered too cold”

Harvard-Westlake. The most well known and best rated private prep school on the west coast. Class of ‘22

Michigan 11

UVA Zero

https://www.hw.com/about/HW-at-a-Glance/Matriculation

Five year totals:

Michigan 58

UVA 6

For 2022 alone:

Harvard 10

Yale 8

Princeton 4

Stanford 6

MIT 2

Most in cold weather and all better than UVA. In California Michigan is held in higher esteem than UVA. Maybe it was too cold for you, but these numbers don’t lie. It’s also been this way for decades.

Yes, you might get a handful from a state with about 40 million people.

I agree, but only to a certain extent. Too many UVA boosters here are under a false impression that UVA is better than Michigan as an overall academic institution. It simply isn’t.

UVA grads are so delusional they pretend (even though they know it is untrue) UVA is better than ANY publics and act like they graduated from Harvard or Yale. Sickening behavior.

That doesn’t change the fact that Michigan gets many, many more applicants Californian’s apply more to Michigan than UVA because it’s a more popular choice, period.

There are no actual UVa boosters on this hellsite. Just trolls who pretend.

No. Just a cash grab. And the board chair is a billionaire real estate developer, so he gets richer and richer the more off-campus housing demand there is.

The chair of the Board of Regents is Sarah Hubbard, a woman last time I looked. She is not a real estate developer or a billionaire. The previous chair was Regent Paul Brown, also not a real estate developer or a billionaire. Since you’re obviously confused, thinking that Regent Ron Weiser who is a real estate developer and a billionaire is the chair, we can just discount your “cash grab” comment. I can’t stand people who make things up to justify their prejudices.
