Transfer residency

<p>Is residency considered in transfer applications? I know that some schools could care less unlike their freshman admissions (UNC-CH), whereas others want to keep the majority of their students from in-state (Texas). Does UVa care where a transfer applicant’s residency is, and does it play a role in admissions?</p>

<p>You’ll notice in-state students are accepted at a higher rate. This is because there is a (controversial) deal with Virginia community colleges which allows their students to gain entry if they have a 2.5+ GPA or so. Those students are at a comparative advantage with respect to all four-year students, inside and outside of Virginia. </p>

<p>So to answer your question if you are in-state at a community college you are in better shape. If you are at a 4-year institution in Virginia, then that is the same as being at a 4-year institution outside of Virginia.</p>

<p>It’s a 3.4+ GPA and you have to select certain classes. How did you come up with 2.5? that’s just ridiculously low…</p>

<p>lasker, the higher in-state has nothing to do with the deal with VA community colleges since that deal was just created this year.</p>
