** Official UVa Regular Decision Thread Class of 2013 - Out of State **

For future students, I believe it would be beneficial to split up the In-State and OOS threads as to create a more accurate data pool to compare onself against. I can't wait for 5 pm! Good Luck Everyone!

General Comments/Congratulations/etc:

Congratulations to those who got in. As for myself, I'm pretty disappointed. I'm not really sure what went wrong. I was recently admitted at WUSTL and the honors college at BC... 50% of legacy applicants are admitted -- am I really not that good?

Very worried about the more selective universities I'll be hearing back from in the next week.

Not going to stay on the waitlist.

Star_s, i don't know how you didn't get in. You should have been accepted even without being a legacy.
