<p>I know the first semester of my Senior year will give me a GPA boost and possibly an SAT boost, but if UVA is less selective EA then that should balance it out. </p>
<p>UVA is not “less selective EA.” They review applicants the same. A lot of EA applicants are very very qualified and feel confident in their application so they probably are more qualified. A lot of people get deferred so they can usually see mid year reports. There really is no difference! The only difference between EA and RD is they look at all RD mid year reports. Seeing an increase in grades, is a very good thing. It shows you have improved and will continue in college.</p>
