Like wahoo said, UVA is very difficult to get into out-of-state, regardless of what year you apply to. Lots of students apply for transfer as third years as well, because Virginia law dictates that if one attends a Virginia community college for two years, virginia schools must look at those hours as college credit. So basically, I could attend a community college and get all A’s for two years and have great essays, etc. etc. and have a good shot at transferring. Basically what I’m trying to say is that it’s very tough for out of state. I don’t know if this law applies to all community colleges in the United States (doubt it), but I know it d efinitely applies to Virginia CC’s, so just some food for thought. I don’t really know your situation, but I always give the advice to at least give the application a try… you never know, and you won’t lose anything except the money put towards the application fee if you don’t get in.
