Thank you for the information U.VA</em>Hopeful. I have seen that 2/3 number many times. Perhaps you could also provide some help in finding the information that I was asking about? Is there an UVA Common Data set that separates the stats of the OOS acceptances from the in-state acceptances?</p>
<p>yup! here you go, like I said it’s on the blog:
[Notes</a> from Peabody: The UVA Application Process: Statistics for the Class of 2014](<a href=“http://uvaapplication.blogspot.com/2010/03/statistics-for-class-of-2014.html]Notes”>Notes from Peabody: The UVA Application Process: Statistics for the Class of 2014)</p>
<p>Total number of applications: 22,516 (up from 21,839 last year)
Total number of VA apps: 7,964
Total number of OOS apps: 14,652</p>
<p>Overall offers: 6,907 total offers
Total VA offers: 3,380 offers (42.4%)
Total OOS offers: 3,527 offers (24%)</p>
<p>Enrollment goal: 3,240 first-year students</p>
<p>Middle 50% on the first two parts of the SAT (offers only): 1300-1480
% in the top 10% of their high school class (offers only): 93.8</p>
<p>The offers numbers for VA and OOS are similar because yield for OOS is generally lower.</p>
<p>I’m sorry if my reply was sarcastic. Yield control can be intentional or unintentional. Perhaps the OP did not appear interested enough. Anyway, I’d rather suggest yield control than that there was something wrong with the OP (too arrogant suggested by many posters). </p>
<p>The OP’s at a disadvantage being out of state and in trying to assemble a well rounded class, they’ll reject some with great numbers and everything else.</p>
<p>
Aha thanks for the sentiment 
too bad I’m not that much of a science person. ;)</p>
<p>If you looked at UVA as a safety, maybe that came through in your application. If they asked you what other schools you applied to and saw Ivies then they probably thought you thought UVA was a fall back plan and didn’t really want to go there in the first place. I’m sorry you didn’t get in though; I wish colleges sent you a personal letter as to why you weren’t admitted because they clearly know why. I hope you have another back up plan because getting into Ivies is never a certainty even if you are the best at everything you do and have millions of community service hours and top test scores.</p>

I too was rejected with very high stats, but I was appalled when you said you were rejected with the type of skills and stats you have. I hear a lot of students with below average stats got in (not waitlisted), and to be honest, I am infuriated.
I first heard about UVA in the 7th grade, and since then, I’ve been dreaming about the opportunity I could enjoy there. I worked my @$$ off in school, studied hard for my SAT’s, did EC’s and the like, and eventually, I rose to the top 5% of my class. Was I accepted? No</p>
<p>I am disgusted that UVA admissions cannot recognize that a student like you can do AMAZING things at UVA. However, they see fit to admit students who have average stats and applied to UVA “just for the heck of it”. Its going to take me a while to get over not just my rejection, but the rejection of my peers (and people like you) who honestly deserved to study at the great institution that is UVA.</p>
<p>In no way am I putting down those who have been accepted. In fact, I wish my heartfelt congratulations to those who sweated blood during their high school career and were rewarded with a place in the Class of 2014. But I am going to say it again: I am bitterly sorry for those who honestly deserved an acceptance, but were turned down for some crazy reason.</p>
<p>Aglages, I can guarantee that the OOS population is higher across the board on SAT and GPA if that is what you are asking. If they are only taking 30% from 50% of the total applicant pool then the OOS must score higher statistically. I believe Dean J has said that in her blog. Sorry for all the OOS but that is just the way it is at UVA. I would be shocked if it is any state school does not cap OOS seats. I know NC does and I believe it is even less.</p>
<p>Pretty big waitlist (form of yield control?) From last year’s Common Data Set:</p>
<p>Number of qualified applicants offered a place on the waiting list: 4,522</p>
<p>Number accepting a place on the waiting list: 3,883</p>
<p>Number of wait-listed students admitted: 420</p>
<p>dean js blog lists the number offered off the list as 288 last year</p>
<p>The Common Data Set also says (further down the page) that the factor “Level of Applicant’s Interest” is “Not Considered”</p>
<p>Also, things are different this year about the waitlist:
“We have traditionally offered waitlist spots to a large number of students. In the past, this has been because there are so many different segments to the population here (CLAS/SEAS/SARS/NURS for both VA and OOS students). We have cut the waitlist down a lot this year for a few reasons. This means there aren’t as many of you feeling like you are in limbo.”</p>
<p>The blog and CDS aren’t consistent. One or the other is wrong.</p>
<p>Just for comparison, UNC’s CDS last year:</p>
<p>Number of qualified applicants offered a placed on waiting list 2,500
Number accepting a place on the waiting list 1,200
Number of wait-listed students admitted 4</p>
<p>UVA’s a great school but some of the comments here defending UVA’s admissions are cult-like. (I’m impartial, I got offended by some of the negative comments to the OP.)</p>
<p>At least last year, UVA put a large number of applicants on the waitlist and accepted a large number. Maybe this year is different.</p>
<p>So my D was also placed on waiting list. ntaional merit finalist (SAT: 2300) gpa:3.9/4.0
lots of EC’s / over 500 service hours. While Uva was not her first choice it is still among top 3. A few questions: 1. if the waitlist is not ranked how do offers come out - is simply random or are applicants re-reviewed. 2. really, should D contact admin. office to find if there is reason why? 3.should/ can additional info now be sent -another letter of rec or video ?</p>
<ol>
<li> applicants are re-reviewed according to their needs in the different schools.</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks Samsung. I was mostly surprised because I thought a big state college like UVA would consider SAT and transcripts heavily. the people who got in from my district have lower SAT AND rank, AND have less extracurriculars. I don’t understand it, but I won’t stress or get depressed until I hear from the rest of my schools. I’m sorry you didnt get in either :(</p>
<p>
I am going to try. let me know if your daughter has any success</p>
<p>Stupefy, sorry to hear you did not get accepted with such good stat. I hope you would talk to admissions and share with us the reason for being waitlisted.</p>
<p>Though you had high sat and gpa, some of the things we do not see:
<p>
U.VA</em>Hopeful: Are these stats for the in-state ACCEPTANCES or the OOS ACCEPTANCES? If the numbers are for the combined freshman class than that really doesn’t compare the two. My original question (perhaps poorly worded) concerned the stats of the individual groups of applicants (not the acceptance rates).</p>
<p>oh, when you said you wanted stats for the instate and oos acceptances I thought you wanted the percentage of IS and OOS accepted to compare how hard it was to get in for IS vs. OOS. </p>
<p>And quakerstake? excuse me for sticking up for my school’s admissions team. We don’t have all the information the admissions people do, which means we’re in no place to judge their decision as wrong or right. If that means I’m “cult-like” then fine. I definitely encourage Stupefy to call and find out the reason…who knows, maybe they made a mistake, they’re human, and computers can be glitchy, but until then…</p>
<p>
<p>Honestly Stupefy more then likely you just fell through the system. You seem like a perfect canidate. You probably just got unlucky. I’m sure you will be plenty happy come next week when the other big boys release their decisions. If you don’t start seeing any acceptances than I would immediately call your school to ask about your transcript and recomendations and then call UVA or another school that denied you and see why they couldn’t find a place for you in their class.</p>
<p>stupefy, I am sure you will get offers from other schools that are just as amazing as UVA.</p>
