<p>The Fiske Guide says it is getting to a near Ivy League level for out of staters.. Does anyone know the SAT ranges, GPA ranges, etc... and acceptance rates for Out of Staters? </p>
<p>And also if is the school good for Economics/Physics/Sciences</p>
<p>The Fiske Guide is correct about OOS admission to UVA; but what you seek, is so easy to look up. So dude, you're gonna have to do some homework.....
Check out Dean J's blog>>she is an actual Dean of Admissions at UVA: Notes</a> from Peabody, a UVA Admission blog
Search this great site and I think you'll find all the info you are looking for.</p>
<p>i just got told by some1 named powderpuff lol.. thnks ill check it out
ne1 else?</p>
<p>Numbers don't lie. 30% admission rate for OOS.
IAS</a> Historical Data: First-Time First-Year Applicants by Residency</p>
<p>Also, search this site for "OOS admission". People have been discussing this for years</p>
<p>"i just got told by some1 named powderpuff lol."</p>
<p>Hah! Dude, you just made me spit out my drink with laughter! Thanks for the fun! Good luck in your search man, you seem like a hoot!
You know, from time-to-time, powderpuff can take off the gloves ;)</p>
<p>yes~ the "puffs" and "shoes" tell you rightly! "getting near ivy level...". i think it's been already known for many years, UVA is a "public ivy", and decribed as such. actually, based on UVA's strict adherence to state numbers and its charter , OOS applicants may have a harder time with admission than to some ivies. this is what we OOS-ers found! d is a happy UVA, OOS grad and has recently applied to grad school there. good luck!</p>
<p>ok i just got back from a college visit to UVA, and one of the admissions director said the following about OOS Sat scores; </p>
<p>"Typically, we find that in state students score on average 10 points higher in CR and 10 points lower in math than OOS"
so i guess add ten to math and take 10 away from CR do find the OOS ranges.... i dnt know how true this is however</p>
<p>Not as selective as WM is for OOS.</p>
<p>When I went for an info session at UVA, one of the admissions people said that the gap between in-state and out-of-state students academic-wise has really shrunken lately, and that if we were talking the SAT, there would only be about a 60-70 point difference, so if the average SAT score for an in-state is like a 1310, then for OOS it would be like a 1370-1380....However, based on what I've seen on college confidential and such, I doubt this is really true, but again, I really have no idea if this is true or not, I'm not the person to say!</p>
<p>Is it just me misunderstanding, or isn't GPA most important?</p>
<p>As in, if you have a 3.6 GPA and 2200 SAT (well over that median for in-state or OOS), and you are in-state, you have low prospects for admission?</p>
<p>GPA with respect to rank. What a 3.6 GPA means wildly fluctuates between schools.</p>
<p>ivy, the most important thing is your transcript. It's not just about your GPA; it's about the challenges you took on (the intensity of your courseload) and how you responded to those challenges (your grades in those classes.) As galoisien said, a 3.6 can mean different things at different schools. Some schools are known for grade inflation so a 3.6 means little/nothing. Some schools have a reputation for being ridic hard with grading so a 3.6 could be seen as a good GPA; everything has to be taken in context.</p>
