<p>How hard is it to get into UVa out of state???
Is there a significant difference between the OOS admission % and the in-state admission % ?</p>
<p>There actually is a huge difference between getting in in-state and OOS. The admit rate last year for OOS students was 32%, compared with 45% in-state. This year, the OOS admit rate dropped to around 30%. There were 10,928 OOS applicants applying for only 1/3 of the spots in the class, so obviously it is harder to get in to U. Va. from OOS.</p>

I said I was guessing that it was around 30% this year, but I don't have official numbers in front of me.</p>
<p>Did the OOS acceptance rate drop this year?</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>Total apps 2007 (2006): 18,052 (16,298)
Total OOS apps: 10,928 (9,768)</p>
<p>The class size is staying pretty much the same.</p>
<p>This is probably not UVA-specific and is a phenomenon of people applying to more schools, and more people applying to college generally, correct? </p>
<p>Hopefully, we invited a very diverse class this year (moreso than class of 2010)?</p>
<p>Yes, it seems as though students are applying to more and more schools each year. There's a thread somewhere in the general college admission forum here with the increase numbers from many different schools. Everyone is up.</p>
<p>When will the stats be up of how many of those accepted students will actually be attending UVA?</p>
<p>probably around May 1st which is the deadline for admitted students to submit their enrollment form.</p>
<p>This is an "echo" boom generation, caused by the kids of the baby boomers. There are more qualified applicants applying to a relatively static number of schools. Its supposed to come to a head in 2009, with the largest number of applicants, and then drop off from there.</p>
