<p>I’ve actually had a change of heart lately about this issue, and it’s not because I’m IS. Right now, UVA is in the high 60s in terms of IS/OOS ratio, do you think a 6ish% increase in IS would be THAT much of a difference? That’s 6/100 students, hardly noticeable in terms of diversity… And if it keeps the IS families and students happy, not to mention the state university status, I think it’s not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. </p>

<p>The only problem with 6 or so percent is the money… 6 students per 100 is a good 20k per year per student, which is a lot of revenue once you get into the full incoming class size every year. Increase funding for UVA, and increase the IS ratio, that’s the only fair way to do it. Otherwise, I agree, making IS ratios higher without some form of monetary compensation does not benefit the University.</p>

<p>We are 67% Virginia and will continue to be, but the population increase over the next few years is going to add the same number of Virginia residents as the bill would have brought in.</p>

<p>The bill is dead. As usual, it was killed in Appropriations.</p>

<p>Thank you for the update,Dean J.</p>

<p>I am not real thrilled about the expansion in enrollment. However, Virginia has grown by ONE MILLION RESIDENTS over the last decade, so there is certainly a rationale to meet the increased need.</p>

<p>Dean J-
What has the out of state acceptance rate for UVA been in the last 2 years? The average SAT for out of state?
Thank you</p>

<p>Performersmom - the OOS acceptance rate I believe has hovered around 24% the past two years. The OOS average SAT / ACT is not offered by UVA.</p>

<p>The stats going back over 10 years are on our website, but you can find them pretty easily by doing a search for “statistics” on my blog.</p>
