UVA OOS acceptance rate

Applying to College

<p>anybody know?</p>

<p>I think it's around 12% but I could be wrong. You might also try posting on the UVA board.</p>

<p>The reason why I am asking is because I have heard from everybody that it is around 14-18%, but I look on Virginia's website and they said 32% for OOS. Any clarification?

<p>scroll down about 1/5 the way to see the numbers I am talking about.... thanks</p>

<p>That's correct, the 32% number. Whoever's telling you 14-18% is incorrect.</p>

5

<p>we keep the student population at around 32% out of state....so it really depends on the composition of the graduating class; however, due to consistent admissions patterns, the acceptance rate should hover around 32%.</p>

6

<p>the acceptance rate is 32%, however, the average OOS applicant is more qualified than the average instate applicant. Most OOS applicants are applying to UVA as a backup to schools which are harder to get into.</p>

<p>OOS also include many of the recruited athletes. Cuts down on numbers. Is there any truth to the northern Va discrimination rumor (harder to get into?) Also I heard its harder to get into from MD since such a large number apply</p>

<p>I'm glad I'm wrong - 32% is decent odds for such a fine school.</p>

<p>I wonder what the yield is for OOS applicants. (According to cb, UVa's undergrad population is 1/3 OOS, much like its acceptance rate.)</p>

<p>In 2006, the OOS acceptance rate was 32.4%, and the yield was 36.1%.
For in-staters, the acceptance rate was 44.8% and the yield was 67.7%</p>
