<p>FBItomboy007 - slightly off topic. If you’re coming to SC for McNair interviews it was 70 degrees today!</p>
<p>For others, just curious when you have to accept or turn down early action acceptances. The only one we thought about doing was furman but didn’t because you had to let them know if you were coming by Jan 15 or be rolled over and we knew we wouldn’t have heard from other schools by then.</p>

<p>I didn’t apply to many schools because I felt that these ones really stuck out to me as being my favorites (with the exception of penn state, I have no intention of attending I just needed early action security). I doubt that I’ll be accepted into Notre Dame, so hopefully UVA will accept me and I’ll be there next year.</p>
<p>Toujours–If you’re OOS, it’s far more likely you’ll be accepted at ND and not UVA. Just saying…</p>
<p>@wahoomb: I am legacy (my mom attended and graduated Phi Beta Kappa), and my brother is currently enrolled as a first year. From what we have observed with Naviance, UVA considers legacies as being IS as opposed to OOS, regarding their application requirements. regardless it’s probably equally as hard for me to get into either ND or UVA based on my peers who are also applying, as well as UVA’s increase in applications.</p>
<p>Agree with toujours that wahoob is seriously underestimating the difficulty of ND’s undergraduate admissions. For non legacies/non athletes it is absolutely at least on par with U-Va out of state.</p>
<p>28.7% of applicants are accepted at ND. The admissions rate for all applicants at UVA stood at 32% last year, with an out-of-state acceptance rate of 22%. It is not that far-fetched to say, just based on numbers, that a typical, non-legacy OOS student has a greater chance of being admitted at ND than at UVA.</p>
<p>Accepted

<p>Not be belabor the point, wahoomb, but the numbers you cite mean nothing in a vacuum. You’re ignoring that Notre Dame is pretty self-selective (virtually every top student in Virginia applies to U-Va) and that the overall quality of ND’s applicant pool is clearly much higher than U-Va’s. The middle 50 percent of enrolled students at ND has SATs ranging from 1350-1480 and ACTs from 31-34. The numbers for U-Va (especially on the lower end) just do not compare (1230-1440 and 27-32). Unless the average in state student at U-Va scores more than 200 points lower on the SAT than the average out of state student (which is not likely considering the high SAT scores that most NOVA students bring), there’s no question the average student at ND is as good or better numbers-wise as the average out of state student at U-Va.</p>
