Here are some unofficial numbers about the Early Action process. These numbers were up to date on Thursday afternoon. If you are a reporter, please contact the Office of University Communications for current, official information and all of your needs.
The Office of Institutional Research and Analytics is the source of all official statistics about UVA. They take a census to determine the final statistics for the class. You can see official admission data in the data digest part of their website.
Early Action Applications
Total number of Early Action applications: 31,143 (28,897 last year)Total number of VA apps: 8,518
Total number of OOS apps: 22,626
We use completed applications in our statistics.
Total VA offers: 2,573 (30% offer rate)
Total OOS offers: 3,669 (16% offer rate)
Enrollment Goal: ~3,750
It's misleading to average these offer rates together because residency is a major factor in our review. If you are going to share these numbers, cite BOTH offer rates.
Total VA defers: 2,295
Total OOS defers: 4,630

A couple notes:
1. I do not have additional statistics. I know people want to see how many students were admitted without testing. I was not given that number.2. If you are deferred, you must submit the defer form in your portal if you'd like to be considered in RD. This form takes the place of a "letter of continued interest" or LOCI. Please follow the directions on the defer student page about what you may add to your file.
3. Admitted students will get a paper copy of the offer letter by mail.
4. The first round of invitations into Echols, Rodman, and College Science Scholars, will be posted in the portal next week. I will post an update when that happens. A second round will be posted after the Regular Decision process is completed. Echols and Rodman also allow self-nomination after your first semester. Miller Arts Scholars only apply after the first semester.
