Common Questions
What is UVA's acceptance rate?
In 2025-26, UVA reported 64,457 first-year applicants and 10,086 admitted students, an acceptance rate of 15.6%. Down from 32% in 2009-10 to 16% in 2025-26.
What is the Common Data Set?
The Common Data Set is a standard survey that colleges fill out and publish each year. Section C covers first-year admission: applicants and admits (C1), test scores (C9), GPA (C11 and C12) and early decision (C21).
Does being within the middle 50% mean I will get in?
No. The ranges describe students who enrolled, and admission decisions weigh much more than scores and grades. The checker shows where your numbers fall. It does not predict a decision.
