Average ACT and SAT for OOS applicants

<p>I can't seem to find these numbers anywhere. Does anyone have them?</p>

<p>UVa does not publicly release admission stats broken down by instate vs OOS students. The general rule for OOS is to shoot for the 75+%tile, knowing all accepted are competitive students and 25% had higher stats. Also keep in mind stats are a very 2-D look at a 3-D/holistic process. Lower GPA and scores may keep you out, but high stats alone can’t get you in.</p>

<p>The median SAT score for an accepted OOS UVA apllicant is 1422. Yikes!! </p>

<p>For comparison, Georgetown is 1390, Cornell 1415, Brown 1425, Notre Dame 1430.</p>

<p>Although it looks like some of those smarty pants end up enrolling at other schools, since the median OOS enrollee is 1369.</p>

<p>Northwesty, are you saying that the median sat score for accepted OOS students is 1422 but those who actually accept have a 13 - something? How does that work?</p>

<p>Great find mom2twins!</p>

<p>Living - The stats for accepted students is usually higher then the stat for students that eventually accept the offer. This is true for all but the absolute top competitive schools where they might turn a school down, but it would be lateral (ie another school w similar stats). The concept at any school, not just UVa, is that you may only have 40% yield of the offers made. If more of the yield came from the 50% stats, whereas many with the 75% stats had a lot of offers to choose from…other schools with merit, better fit, etc…your yield may be smaller from that group. Thus once you get the actual class that’s attending the stats shift down slightly.</p>
