OOS Statistics?

<p>Is there anywhere on the UVA website that says how many students from each state were admitted or attend UVA in a given class? I searched but didn't find anything promising.
Thanks!</p>

<p>I don't think that information is given, divided by state like that. I could by wrong, though.</p>

<p>I remember there being a website (XXXXX.va.gov - I can't remember it) that had really detailed statistics like that. They're out there somewhere. If I remember correctly, in state was about 46 or 47%? haha, Please don't quote me - I might be pulling this out of my.. erm.</p>

<p>here we go: State</a> Council of Higher Education for Virginia</p>

<p>haha okay. </p>

<p>UVA 2007-08<br>
Out-of-State:
Total applicants 10,708<br>
Acceptances 2,924 (27.3%)
Rejections 7,784 (72.7%)</p>

<p>wow.. this is dismal. I'm glad I'm in-state.</p>

<p>The Office of Institutional Assessment has all sorts of great data. Here's a map that shows enrollment by state:</p>

<p>UVa</a> - Enrollment by State (map)</p>

<p>Would you have a higher chance of getting in if you're from a state (MS) that sends fewer people to UVa?</p>

<p>If you have the stats, yes.</p>

<p>Thanks so much guys! This data is so promising :)</p>

<p>I think it'd be more interesting to see acceptances versus enrollment per year by state.</p>

<p>Admission office has many times confirmed that they have no quotas or limitations by state or by high school. In short, being from a high app state or school cannot hurt. I suppose a few students could be helped if they are applying from a state with no/few applicants, like AK or HI, but otherwise doubt it has any impact at all.</p>

<p>Thank you, HartinGA. Guillame is mistaken. </p>

<p>There was a point when we were missing a nearby state. There was no push to enroll a student from there. If we get all 50 states covered, great. If not, so be it.</p>

<p>Ok, thanks, my mistake. I thought a student with great stats from an underrepresented state would have more chance to be admitted than another with the same stats from a state where students like him are a dime a dozen? All in the name of diversity. But if that's not the case, great.</p>

<p>Is there any way to see the standard deviation on these stats (and not just for admissions, but enrolled stats too)? It's kind of hard to make any sense of the numbers given just averages and no distribution data.</p>
