@VAResident2021_ Gpa? EC? #APs?
Accepted OOS!
“It could be that UVA is deferring more OOS legacies simply to dull the pain of rejection on alumni parents somewhat. Haha”
Devil Stick – UVA cared not one bit about my feelings when it outright dinged my other OOS legacy kid a few years back. Which cost UVA many tens (if not hundreds) of dollars of donations from me!!
ACCEPTED OOS!!! SO EXCITED!!!
@northwesty be glad you have tens of dollars with tuition bills here days. :((
Accepted OOS! Hooray!
ACCEPTED OOS!!!
SAT: 1390
ACT: 30
WGPA: 4.333
Have an insane list of ECs.
Sorry to those who did not get in 
UVA21
Accepted OOS - ACT 33; WGPA 4.4
Accepted OOS!!! So hype! I can withdraw over half of my apps now 
Are your other colleges like Harvard or Yale? If so, hold off. UVA might not have great financial aid compared to them.
This is my first post. I have been following lots of posts here and for other schools and have found them very helpful.
D Accepted OOS
Legacy applicant. As a UVA alum, I am thrilled.
ACT 32, Weighted GPA 4.5,
Best wishes to all.
@hhjjlala The colleges on my list above UVa are Princeton (got deferred early), Harvard, Penn, Georgetown, & maybe Northwestern. The ones that I am going to withdraw are UNC Chapel Hill, Fordham, BC, Wash U, & Vandy.
I’m a full pay student regardless (don’t believe UVa gives out merit aid) so really I’m just withdrawing the schools that I would never pick over UVa. Thanks for the advice though.
My DD was accepted.
Leave Vandy and WashU on there. They’re pretty generous.
Hi everyone! Congrats on the acceptances and for those who were deferred I really hope you get in during the regular decisions round! I too was accepted out of state (OOS) and I’m from Connecticut. I am actually really speechless about my acceptance. I am new to CC, but I see that a lot of people posted their stats so I’ll post mine too:
SAT (New): Math: 590 (Yikes!) and Reading 610 (Ehh) – Quite frankly I am truly shocked especially due to these really mediocre scores
GPA: 3.8 (un-weighted), 4.34 (weighted)
Black Female
First generation
Top 10% at a public magnet school
Great community service (Examples: STEM Mentorship Program, Pathfinders Club Co-Guide, Interact Club, Mayors Youth Leadership Council, Club Francophone (a club that I created on my own) etc.)
Extracurricular activities: Dance, Swim, National Honor Society, Science National Honor Society, volunteer at my local congregation (ex. usher, children’s bible study)
My Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior grades remained consistent (Freshman year I got only two B+ and got straight A’s during sophomore and junior year)
I don’t think my guidance counselor sent my first quarter grades of my senior year (But if she did, then my grades were just A’s)
I’m guessing my essay was really good! I thought it told my story well, but I didn’t think it was that good.
I really am still shocked
Although I made it past the regionals in the Jefferson’s Scholarship, I just looked at my status yesterday and unfortunately I didn’t advance on (which sucks, because I’m out of state and I could have really benefited from the scholarship financially, but oh well!! I hope other nominees have better luck with the Scholarship!!)
Anyhow, good luck to everyone!!
@northwesty I am first generation to go to college in my family. Do they consider that a hook?
Deferred OOS
34 ACT
4.2 GPA
Does anyone know what percent of applicants were deferred? And what the rate of acceptance after being deferred was in previous years?
@DevilStick Hope so! Cause Im sure that my deferral was due to my gpa.
“Does anyone know what percent of applicants were deferred? And what the rate of acceptance after being deferred was in previous years?”
Dean J usually posts the stats for EA on her blog in a day or two.
Last year EA OOS was basically one quarter accept; one quarter defer, half deny:
Total number of OOS apps: 12,308
Total OOS offers: 2,955 (24% offer rate)
Total OOS defers: 3,005
I’m not aware of UVA releasing any stats on how EA defers do in the RD round.
But usually the EA pool is a little bit stronger than the RD round. So an EA defer should be somewhat of a plus factor in the RD round. Since UVA says the standards applied in EA and RD are the same.
