<p>Dean J has posted preliminary info on her blog.</p>
<p>Notes</a> from Peabody: The UVA Application Process: Early numbers</p>
<p>That kind of sucks. </p>
<p>Whatever, I’m more interested in specifically OOS numbers anyway.</p>
<p>Up by about 20% again</p>
<p>21,839 last year vs. 22,000 this year…how is that 20%?</p>
<p>I’m glad to be an in-stater! :)</p>
<p>I thought it was 18,000 + last year? Maybe I was wrong. Nevermind, that was for 2007.</p>
<p>Why are you glad to be IS applicant? I’d think OOS applicants have a higher chance of getting in this year because of the economy.</p>
<p>The OOS admit rate is always lower than the VA admit rate. See the blog for a link to years of historical data.</p>
<p>Yeah, plus I remember Dean J telling me that UVA admits 2/3 of its students from Virginia.</p>
<p>We do not admit 2/3 of the in state applicants. Go look at the stats from past years. Links are on my blog.</p>
<p>Oh, Sorry Dean J, I meant 2/3 of the total applicants.</p>
<p>Still, given the tough economic times and the fact UVA raised their OOS tuition (again), one would expect their yield rate to decline, as in less admitted OOS students to enroll.</p>
<p>Thus UVA would have to admit more OOS applicants to assure the a 1/3 OOS enrollment percentage. </p>
<p>Therefore the OOS acceptance rate could be higher this year than last. </p>
<p>At least that is what I am hoping ;-)</p>
<p>Wow. That is a lot of applications. Would like to know the breakdown ASAP.</p>
<p>The numbers will come out when they are available.</p>
<p>Please realize that I am checking in online at the expense of reading a full load of applications. I read from 6 am until late at night. I don’t have much time to crunch numbers at this time of year! :)</p>
<p>Since 2005, I have been sharing data as soon as it is available on my blog. Rest assured that if I am not providing data, I’m not able to at the time.</p>
<p>6 am until the end of the night. Yikes! </p>
<p>I saw that video “Reading Season” on youtube, and thought it was both funny and informative. I never really thought about how much admin. counselors have to read. </p>
<p>Look on the bright side, though, you get to read many interesting essays. :)</p>
<p>The essays are definitely the best part, Big Will! :)</p>
<p>Wow. 6 am until late at now… Wow. I hope you get done soon! I can’t wait for my reply!</p>
<p>We won’t be done for a while and the notification date is April 1st. :)</p>
<p>If you look at last year’s blog entries from January, February, and March, you’ll get a better idea of the timeline.</p>
<p>The historical data is full of interesting numbers. I encourage people to browse, and thank Dean J and others for making them available. Perhaps the scariest are the growth in OOS tuition and fees. As one example, this year is 15 times the cost 30 years ago. The table is full of double-digit and nearly double-digit increases, way above inflation, as we all know. If I didn’t have my last kid in school, I’d wonder more about when this will collapse. </p>
<p>After having our student home for five weeks between semesters, I can’t say I’m thrilled with the cost per day of actual school. I hope the new president doesn’t consider squeezing a day or two out to save $, as the school year is already so short on days of instruction.</p>
