<p>hi everyone- uva accepted 14 people from my high school ED, which seems like a lot to me (last year 16 total got in). does this mean theyve reached their "quota" for my school? it just seems weird to me, especially because most of the people who've been accepted are just average (by uva's standards, anyway) students...3.6-3.7 GPA and around 2000 SATs, with no really amazing EC's. i go to school in northern va which is typically pretty competitive for uva, i believe. haven't they kind of limited themselves in a way? i know lots of far better qualified students who are applying RD, but uva can't very well accept 40 people from one school can they?</p>
<p>also, i was wondering how, if at all, the selection process changes for RD from ED? it seems like the ED decisions i saw posted on here weighed more heavily on GPA than anything else. thanks for any feedback you can give me!</p>
<p>My son's school accepted 7 ED this year and has accepted 18 in each of the past three years total. Don't know ED v. RD in past years, but I assumed they had an informal quota for the school of around 18 since that stayed the same while the numbers of apps varied widely in each year. The decisions in past years have been heavily weighted toward GPAs, but some surprises. The following is the middle range of GPAs accepted last year, with everybody with lower GPAs rejected and everybody with higher GPAs accepted. GPAs are weighted. School doesn't show unweighted.
