<p>the lady at the uva admissions talk thing said that the numbers were like this:</p>
<p>applications: 15,000
slots: 3,000
acceptance letters sent out: 5,000
applications from in state: 5,000
applications from out of state: 10,000
in state slots: 2,000
out of state slots: 1,000</p>
<p>i kinda did the math and figured that if this is right, they accept like 12% out of state, and like 66% in state?</p>
<p>Those numbers look about right, but I'd recheck your math. UVA's yield rate for out-of-state admitted students is around 33%, and their out-of-state acceptance rate is around 30%, so 1000 slots for 10000 apps sounds about right. The instate yield rate and acceptance rate are about 66% and 50%, respectively, so 2000 slots for 5000 applicants sounds about right.</p>
<p>At an admission session i was told that approx. 25% o.o.s. and 50% i.s. where the rates of acceptance.</p>
<p>Last year's (entering fall 2004) admission data for 1st year students:</p>
<p>Out of state - 8907 applied, 2704 accepted (30%), 1019 enrolled (38%).
In state - 5915 applied, 3056 accepted (52%), 2078 enrolled (68%).</p>
<p>We were told that alot of the OOS spots go to recruited athletes, which is what brings the OOS rate down to that 12% for the average OOS applicant.</p>
<p>Almost every good student in VA applies to UVA, and a substantial number of them go there. It's not like other state schools, where the top students go to private schools and the decent students go to the states.</p>
<p>I don't know if anyone really knows the answer to this, but what percentage of instate applicants do you think are a total throwaway? Meaning 900 on the SATs, 2.5 GPA, etc.. </p>
<p>I was just wondering how that might factor into the actual chances of top VA students.</p>
<p>ummm...a few valedictorians from my high school have been rejected by UVA (instate) and almost everyone I meet that doesn't have a 3.9-4.0, over a 1250 SAT score doesn't get in to UVA instate. Many times the very top VA students do not get into UVA.</p>
