<p>I've been waiting for someone to post this for a while now, but since nobody has, decided on creating the thread myself. Use this place to discuss thoughts, feelings and attitudes about EA at UVA.</p>
<p>I’m in-state. I always thought I would have no problem getting into UVA until last year when the three people with the highest stats in their grade were waitlisted. I also got rejected into my other EA school so my confidence is slowly dwindling 8-X Oh well, I love UVA and I have faith that whatever happens will work out in the end. I believe that decisions are being released on mid January, so all I can do is wait. </p>
<p>Since getting deferred from my ED school, Uva has been my number 1
-out of state hopeful 
</p>
<p>when will results come out? and will they be by mail or email?</p>
<p>Results come out by 1/31 via your SIS account. For reference, they came out on 1/17 last year, so expect something similar </p>
<p>After getting deffered from my number 1 ED school (Duke), UVA has probably become my number 1. I am in state, and if I end up getting into both UVA and Duke it would be a hard choice. </p>

<p>D applied EA from Massachusetts. It’s not her #1, mainly because she’s a bit afraid of feeling like a (northern) fish out of water. If you’ve had the chance to visit, what’s your take? We plan to visit only if she gets in.</p>
<p>Jmek – 33% of the students are from outside Virginia. Figure 20-25% come from the DC suburbs. UVA is pretty southern lite these days. A whole bunch of Kennedys (including Teddy and Bobby) are UVA alums (mostly for law school though).</p>
<p>@rawhide96 Duke is one of my top choices as well! I wish you good luck for both colleges. </p>
<p>@sumobats thanks! Did you apply ED or RD to Duke?</p>
<p>Finally this thread has been made! I’m from Fairfax County and UVA is one of my top choices. Hoping to major in Foreign Affairs. </p>
<p>@rawhide96 I’m applying RD though I have yet to start my application X_X </p>
<p>Yay I’m going to UVa! I was admitted as one of the nine through a scholarship called questbridge! Hope to see you guys there ! :D</p>
<p>I thought this article about how the University of Michigan handled their EA admission this year was interesting, and at the end they mention that a similar thing might occur at UVA because of the 7% increase in EA applicants. As an EA applicant to both schools (deferred from Michigan), I do not believe that UVA will defer as wide-spread as Michigan did, in part because I think there will be less RD applicants amidst the rape scandal among other factors. I also would not be surprised if this resulted in a particularly low yield this year for UVA. This is of course, complete speculation without any actual insight into the adcom. Definitely worth a read if you applied EA to Virginia. <a href=“http://www.examiner.com/article/why-thousands-were-deferred-this-year-by-the-university-of-michigan”>http://www.examiner.com/article/why-thousands-were-deferred-this-year-by-the-university-of-michigan</a></p>
<p>Where did you get the data about the 7% increase in the applicant pool? @ellisnp</p>

“At the University of Virginia, a record 16,185 students applied Early Action, up 7.5% from last year.” <a href=“GoLocalProv | College Admissions: Early Apps Up for Class of 2019”>http://www.golocalprov.com/lifestyle/college-admissions-early-apps-up-for-class-of-2019</a></p>
<p>I read it in another article the other day as well.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how common out of state merit awards are (excluding Jefferson), and what the qualifications are? </p>
<p>I worry that even if I’m admitted to Uva, I won’t be able to attend due to money. </p>
<p>@jamesjunkers I do not believe there are many (if any) Merit awards being given to OOS students by UVA.</p>
<p>@MAsecondtimer,
Yeah, I looked it up and can’t really find any :’(</p>
