I've written a post like this few times per year since 2008. UVA has always been pretty transparent about statistics. The Office of Institutional Research and Analytics website has admission data going back to 1991 and our office shares admission rates broken down by residency in our presentations, publications, on our website, and on social media. If you're familiar with any of those, then these numbers I'm sharing aren't all that surprising.
These numbers were up to date on Thursday afternoon. If you are a reporter, this data is unofficial and you should contact the Office of University Communications for information.
Early Action Applications
Total number of Early Action applications: 37,642 (36,459 last year)Total number of VA apps: 10,109 (9,511)
Total number of OOS apps: 27,533 (26,948)
We use completed applications in our statistics.
Total VA offers: 2,854 (28% offer rate)
Total OOS offers: 3,665 (13% offer rate)
Enrollment Goal: ~3,970
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.

Some 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 offered the waiting list, you must submit a form in your portal if you'd like to be considered again. This form takes the place of a "letter of continued interest" or LOCI. Please follow the directions on the waiting list student page about what you may add to your file. That page also tells you what you should not do. Following directions is important and it saves busy students time and energy.
3. Admitted students will get a paper copy of the offer letter by mail via USPS. I'm pretty excited about this year's mailing!
4. The first round of invitations into Echols, Rodman, and College Science Scholars, will probably 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.
