I would start checking the portal around 5, that’s when it was there for ED. My kids never got one mail to check their portal or anything, so just keep checking. Good luck!!

From Dean J’s blog:

Early Action Applications,

Total number of Early Action applications: 28,897 (25,160 last year)
Total number of VA apps: 7,849

Total number of OOS apps: 21,048
We use completed applications in our statistics.

Early Action Offers

Overall offers: 6,186
Total VA offers: 2,380 (30% offer rate)
Total OOS offers: 3,806 (18% offer rate)
Enrollment Goal: ~3,750
It’s misleading to average these offer rates together because residency is a major factor in our review. If you are going to share these numbers, cite BOTH offer rates.

Early Action Defers

Overall defers: 7,185 (25%)
Total VA defers: 2,098
Total OOS defers: 5,087

This is pretty good to see, out of state acceptance rate is up from last year

Did you compare just EA rate or total? Total was at 15 percent but. EA and ED are typically higher than RD (not because of benefit of applying early but quality of applicant tends to be higher early most places).

I wonder what the percentage of applicants were test-optional and what the percentage of test-optional applicants were ultimately admitted

Thx for posting. EA applications went up by 15 percent over last year so still a harder admit but at least offer percentage went up not down!

Aren’t you contradicting yourself here? If offer percentage went up, it’s easier! For OOS anyway.

I read “harder admit” in the general sense, not comparing to last year. As in UVA is a harder admit for OOS any year. VirginiaBelle, please correct me if I’m wrong.

Good luck, everyone! We are OOS so not anticipating the proverbial electronic fat envelope this afternoon. :grin:

Admit rate went up 3 percent. It would be easier only if number of applications remained the same. Applications for EA went up 15 percent so even though admit rate is up they are deferring and rejecting many more people. Depends on how you want to look at it. Some of that increase is likely people who are not competitive, but others are people with excellent GPA’s, rigor, ECs who either didn’t take a test or didn’t test well. Those people got some of the admits (and likely quite a few admits were test optional). Only a few hundred more were accepted but many thousands more applications.

I guess there is something to be said about more qualified people applying making it harder? But a 3% increase in admit rate means it’s easier to get in.

Take for example college A gets 20,000 applicants and accepts 10,000. College B gets 2,000 applicants and accepts 500. College A is easier to get into. It doesn’t matter that there are more people applying. Just statistics. Let me know if I am misunderstanding you.

Anyone seeing anything in the SIS portal?

yes…it’s changing!

The option to withdraw application has disappeared
