Just realized we beat the number of pages compared to last year’s thread. Last year’s transfer thread had 32 pages I think and we already have 46! Hopefully, everyone can get the best result this week.
the wait is slowly eating at me…
@CTUR782 For the caliber of school that it is, it’s actually quite easy to get into. After graduation, the mean income for IB’s is $85,000, which can only be beat/challenged by Ross, Wharton, Dyson and Stern; all of which are significantly harder to get into.At least if you’re in-state. The admit rate for in-states is almost 50%, if you don’t count those, who have not completed the necessary prerequisites and credits.
Out-of state students are looking at a 17.5-20% acceptance rate at best.
@Vincent1997 17% is even being generous. Only one handful of OOS students get accepted as transfers per year.
@CTUR782 UVA McIntire is one of the top undergrad business schools in the nation, ranked #2 in 2016, and has always been in the top 20. Why? The professors, quality of education, and network are extremely strong and wide cast. UVA is a target school for the most prestigious firms in business, more so in finance, that only recruit at ivies + the top public schools. McIntire gets recruitment from pretty much every investment bank, some private equity firms, and even some Hedge Funds. This is a reflection of the standard of student that is produced by the school - very prepared for the real world. Vincent is accurate in comparing the school to Wharton, and NYU Stern - though I would argue UVA is better than Ross, and even the “bottom” half of the Ivy league when it comes to post undergraduate placement! It’s a finance factory. My dream at UVA would be to finish my bachelors and do the one year M.S. at McIntire…
@msport 17% is actually realistic. 8% is the acceptance create, however, they say that at least half get disqualified due to prerequesities. So it’s basically 8% times two. But yeah it doesn’t change the fact that’s its been between 5-10 students for the past years.
you can’t multiply the 8% by two just because half didn’t have prerequisites, because even if they had them it doesn’t mean they would’ve def. got in. 8% is the real rate
What are you saying? If 84 students apply and 7 get accepted, then it’s a 8.3% acceptance rate, which is the official rate. However, if you know that half of those 84 students aren’t eligible, then effectively 7 out of 42 students were accepted, which is a 16.7% rate. It’s not that complicated.
What i’m saying is you don’t get to discount those who weren’t eligible lmao, you can’t create your own parameter like that. Every single other school has candidates that aren’t eligible but still apply. You could do the same math with any other top school and get your more “appealing” acceptance rate. It doesn’t mean much. Those who wanna get accepted enough are the ones who did the research to know what exactly is required. Also it’s become clear that more out of state students are accepted than we all thought (see: the data set) + admissions is holistic and arbitrary so i wouldn’t throw my own general 17-20% statistic out there.
@msport I don’t see where his @Vincent1997 conversion has statistical issues, assuming everything up until that was true. In my opinion, his math checks out. If he has done all the requirements, by default he is in that pool of students who have the requirements.
aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Does anyone know the statistics behind the CAS acceptance rate for instate students?
What does it mean if I get an email from SFS and they say that I was selected for verification?
@brayantorres10 Yes. It’s 65% CAS for in-state, and is moderately higher if you are a male. Source: https://ias.virginia.edu/university-stats-facts/undergraduate-admissions.
In addition, @“Dean J” provided a wonderful overview of what she could find for splitting the years up:

In summary, it’s around 65% acceptance rate for both freshman and sophomore instate transfers.
@redgolden173 It means that they want to verify that your financial aid information is correct. We’ve speculated about this earlier, and it should be a good sign that you were admitted.
@mualphabot That is a really insightful post, thanks for sharing it. Do you have a general idea of what the average GPA is for instate freshman transfers? Sorry for bothering you
@brayantorres10 Unfortunately no. But I did hear a competitive applicant has a 3.7+, though take that with a grain of salt since I don’t have a source.
From the UVA transfer FAQ: 3.5 is the average for admitted transfers. They place heavy weight on you having the right requirements done thought. If you’re applying to enter as a second year, you should have about half of them done.
@mualphabot Where did the 65% for in-state transfers come from? I knew transferring was easier but I didnt think the admit rate would be that high?
Anyone’s “View Financial Aid” and “Accept/Decline Awards” change at all?
Does the in-state transfer acceptance rate include the students accepted under GAA?
