UNC is the best comparison to UVA in terms of public school with smaller

enrollment. Duke, UM, Northwestern, SMU, Stanford are all private (which you noted), so I would not lump them in with UVA at all. UVA is public. Totally different. As much as UVA would like to pretend to be considered as elite as Duke, Stanford, and Northwestern - it isn't.

Not really football related but 55k student applications for 2024. WOW. **
uber hokie • 07/21/24 03:54 PM ET
Actually, it's an apples and oranges stat these days. The use of the common
UEMcGill • 07/22/24 04:59 PM ET
It took effort & cost money. The cost is what stopped me from applying to
Hoakie82 • 07/23/24 02:14 PM ET
Maybe a little but there are still some custom questions
Happy Dog • 07/23/24 05:51 AM ET
Agreed, most 17-18 year olds don't want to write 4 extra essays.
hokieluver • 07/23/24 04:21 PM ET
It's more than a little, it's a lot. And as more schools start waiving
UEMcGill • 07/23/24 12:26 PM ET
Know quite a few kids who have used the shotgun approach
Happy Dog • 07/23/24 12:57 PM ET
Wow...that's a lower % than our friends in C'Ville**
Tuckahokie • 07/22/24 12:30 PM ET
How many will be accepted?**
Happy Dog • 07/22/24 11:56 AM ET
The key is % offered, not enrolled. VT offer rate = 57%, UVA = 19%, **
True Hokie • 07/22/24 01:24 PM ET
UVA way more exclusive..**
True Hokie • 07/22/24 01:25 PM ET
UVa and VT are different

Scream_On_D • 07/23/24 12:26 AM ET
Thank goodness!!!**
83Hokie • 07/22/24 07:29 PM ET
But if you take the total number of students who enroll at UVA next year...
EDGEMAN • 07/22/24 01:30 PM ET
Just an anecdote about Uva students in Arlington
Happy Dog • 07/23/24 06:07 AM ET
Sounds relative -- compared to rest of Virginia/USA, I'm gonna guess....
HWA • 07/23/24 05:50 PM ET
Exactly. And it's why UVa isn't so attractive to the B1G.
marcbvtgm • 07/22/24 02:01 PM ET
Maybe we should become more exclusive.
HokieDelNorte • 07/22/24 04:39 PM ET
Why? Size and the $$ that brings will be VT's ticket to P2 (if it happens).**
marcbvtgm • 07/25/24 12:14 PM ET
Football is exactly why UVa isn't so attractive to the B1G**
Pylons • 07/22/24 04:13 PM ET
It’s all about $$ and UVa doesn’t bring $$. And it’s about 2045, not 2025.
marcbvtgm • 07/22/24 06:11 PM ET
Those things without football people care about wouldn't really matter.
Pylons • 07/22/24 06:15 PM ET
Then explain UMd and Rutgers.
marcbvtgm • 07/25/24 12:13 PM ET
UMd and Rutgers are maybe best explained as "mistakes"
Pylons • 07/25/24 12:53 PM ET
I think their AAU status, along with being a state university puts them...
EDGEMAN • 07/22/24 02:14 PM ET
Oh good grief, the AAU argument. That and being a state U gets them zip.
marcbvtgm • 07/22/24 06:16 PM ET
How many non-AAU schools have the Big Ten added?
Hokie1992 • 07/23/24 07:35 AM ET
the Big Ten also hasn't taken any schools with tiny alumni/fanbases.
reestuart • 07/23/24 08:01 AM ET
Good call on Stanford. Not only AAU, but Olympic sports.
HWA • 07/23/24 05:59 PM ET
Yep. Exactly. **
reestuart • 07/24/24 07:27 AM ET
For reference, Big Ten enrollments . . .
Hokie1992 • 07/23/24 10:18 AM ET
That's why I think VT would be a target well before UVa. Nebraska is
reestuart • 07/23/24 12:14 PM ET
I would guess 6-7k **
uber hokie • 07/22/24 12:16 PM ET
That's how many will enroll. Many more will be accepted.
Will StewartAdmin • 07/22/24 01:23 PM ET
Of course you are correct I didn’t even consider that.
uber hokie • 07/22/24 03:51 PM ET
S'all good.**
Will StewartAdmin • 07/22/24 11:03 PM ET
Is there any information available
GobblerCE • 07/22/24 02:50 PM ET
NIL....tic**
Seikoh_04 • 07/22/24 05:06 PM ET
Likely financial aid.
GreenvilleVT • 07/22/24 03:29 PM ET
In my tiny little bubble here in Radford...
Will StewartAdmin • 07/22/24 11:01 PM ET
$25k is a bargain.
GreenvilleVT • 07/26/24 05:21 PM ET
It's not like the "aggression" level is a choice
Pylons • 07/22/24 05:02 PM ET
When my daughter and I toured UGA in the spring…
vthokieq • 07/22/24 04:19 PM ET
The sec schools have great tours. **
GreenvilleVT • 07/26/24 05:34 PM ET
7,100 is target I’d heard; although I could see up to 7,500
hokiepro • 07/22/24 12:23 PM ET
its great for Virginia's Flagship University **
