Im not trying to be rude, but I am asking this question since I will apply next year. Why are applicants with stellar stats denied/referred, while those with weaker stats are being accepted?
^ because UVA has holistic admissions that actually consider factors other than SAT score and cumulative GPA.
@BockyRalboa123 UVA tends to admit many more instate students over OOS. The competition for OOS is much harder for admissions than in state so many good applicants were denied acceptance.
is UVA’s business school really hard to get into?
Admission stats for the McIntire School of Commerce are on their website. A UVa student applies during their second year, after enrolling in a set of required classes.
