Hey guys, I'm looking into applying to the University of Virginia and I was wondering if anyone could let me know their overall acceptance rate? Also, are there any differences in the rates for in-state and out-of-state students? Thanks!
Hello! The overall acceptance rate at the University of Virginia (UVA) tends to vary by year, for the Class of 2027 it was around 16%. As with many public universities, UVA does have different acceptance rates for in-state and out-of-state students. In-state applicants usually have a slightly higher acceptance rate compared to out-of-state applicants. This is because public universities like UVA emphasize educating students from within their state, so they often reserve a more significant proportion of their seats for in-state applicants.
Keep in mind that these numbers can fluctuate over time, but they should give you a general idea of the competitiveness at UVA. Good luck with your application!
