UVA Class of 2022 RD decisions

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Virginia

Lots of posts since the last time I checked in! Have a few comments…

*I’m kind of surprised that so many are getting all of their info here and not from my blog, twitter, or instagram accounts. I’ve been giving updates about the process all season long. I’m @UVADeanJ on Twitter and Instagram and the blog is: http://uvaapplication.blogspot.com/

*I hope the poster who lamented their location, gender, and ethnicity realizes that the data shows that they are extremely privileged in college admission and in life.

*When you see the number of students in a school at UVA, remember that we probably admitted double (or more) students. For example, we admitted 124 nursing applicants last year to get a class of 64 students.

*Early Action is not easier than Regular Decision. Generally, it’s a strong population, so the offer rate is a tad higher. We don’t relax our standards for EA. That does happen at some schools (often ones with ED), but not at UVA.

*The only direct entry programs at UVA are Nursing and Kinesiology. No one else was evaluated for a major or admitted into a major. You have one year to declare in Engineering and Architecture. You have two years to declare in the College of Arts and Sciences.

Some links to where you can find statistics (because there’s a lot of rumor and flat out wrong info out there):
[Admission Data from UVA’s Office of Institutional Assessment](http://ias.virginia.edu/university-stats-facts/undergraduate-admissions)
You can use the drop-downs to break the numbers up by residency, school of entry, etc. Use the tabs at the top of the chart to dig deeper into the numbers.

[State Council of Higher Ed’s Admission Data](Higher Ed Info for Virginia)
You can see admission data from ALL Virginia colleges on the tables at the bottom of this page. You can see both raw numbers of applicants and admit percentages. You can also see the data broken down by county ([chart B08 A1](B08A1: Admissions by Student Level and Student Locality)), so you can see why those rumors about it being “impossible” be admitted from one county or another are wrong. My advice: look at the raw numbers and remember that UVA doesn’t have a quota for any high school, town, county, or region in Virginia.

@Dean J - thank you for the information and links! Wishing everyone all the best! I certainly did not mean to offend anyone with my comments. We love UVA and would love to have another Hoo in the house, but I’m confident our son will be fine, no matter where he goes to school. You are right, we are blessed and privileged to have so many good options.

No worries, @LUVSML. I know there are a lot of people out there trying to scare applicants into thinking that if they aren’t a unicorn who can ride a unicycle while juggling fire and simultaneously take all 38 AP courses, they aren’t getting into college.

@DeanJ I understand that no one other than Nursing and Kinesiology applicants are evaluated for/admitted to a major. But, curious, how does the expression of two areas of academic interest on the CommonApp factor into UVA’s evaluation of the application? I did note that UVA’s request for “areas of academic interest” differed from a lot of other schools who ask applicants to identify an “intended major”.

Got deferred from UVA (quite surprisingly) EA. Hoping that I won’t get my first rejection today!

Only 1 and a half hours left

I think it’s 20 minutes to go because in the past they released the decision at 5

68

I think only 15 minutes to go

69

Best of luck everyone! @lesjubilants Hope you get in! If my son doesn’t get in, it will be his only rejection :frowning: Our household is anxiously awaiting.
