CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW/UVA TODAY) – The University of Virginia offered nearly 7,000 students a place in its Class of 2029 Friday, in the second of three rounds of admission decisions. UVA Today reports according to preliminary figures, 41,885 people – up more than 4,000 from last year – applied to be admitted in the early action cycle, with more than 11,000 applicants from Virginia and 30,700 out-of-state applications.  Early action is the University’s largest admissions round; applicants must meet an earlier application deadline to receive early notification of their acceptance, but are not required to enroll if admitted, as they are under the early decision round.

In December, about 1,200 students became the first members of the UVA Class of 2029, accepted during early decision. Students who applied in the regular decision cycle, UVA’s final one, will receive decisions by April 1. Students admitted during the early action and regular decision cycles have until May 1 to respond to the University. UVA aims to enroll 3,970 students to the Class of 2029.
