They’ve never shared statistics for regular decision before though, so I wonder if these are typical for the RD round
I’ve just noticed early decision and the regular decision have the exact same statistics. Mistake on UVA’s part? Furthermore, 6186+965+965+288 does not equal 9875
good luck everyone, maybe we will be the 3 percent haha
I just learned that someone from our in-state high school lied about being Native American (she is 1% or something) and wrote her essay on being discriminated against for being Cherokee. Good grief, if someone like that gets in over honest, qualified students my faith in the process is really going to take a hit.

None of it adds up
Early Decision Offers
Overall offers: 965
Total VA offers: 617 (39% offer rate)
Total OOS offers: 348 (26% offer rate)
Enrollment Goal: ~3,750
Total Regular Decision Applications
Total applications: 16,060 (13,635 last year)
Total number of VA apps: 4,482
Total number of OOS apps: 11,577
Total Regular Decision Offers of Admission
Overall offers: 965 (748 last year)
Total VA offers: 617 (14% offer rate)
Total OOS offers: 348 (3% offer rate)
965(ED)+6186(EA)+965(RD)+318(Deferred)=8434
Deferred is 4 percent of 7932
The total offers is 9,875
How are they going to have the exact same statistics as Early Decision that just does not add up. The total offers also does not add up. Am I missing a group of students?

UVA is a reach for pretty much everybody out of state. What bothers me about those posted statistics is UVA says repeatedly we evaluate applications the same whether you apply early action or regular decision, and you don’t get a benefit for applying early action. The statistics would indicate that you do and that there is quite a strong benefit. I find it hard to believe that the applicant pool is different enough to warrant this disparity.

I think it’s just moreso stronger ppl applying in the earlier rounds
do they have a cap on how many offers they can accept which could result in the exact same stats as ED?
Look I’m telling you this is too big of a coincidence. ED and RD have the EXACT same statistics. Literally every number. RD has nearly 6 times as many applicants

I find it hard to believe the pool is that much stronger. It is fine if there is a benefit to applying early action but they just need to be transparent about it.
Okay even if there was a cap on Early Decision. Why don’t the total offers add up?
8434 is not even close to 9875
Dean J just said she posted the wrong numbers and is trying to get the right ones. She posted the ED numbers as RD numbers
