This is the official discussion thread for University of Virginia Class of 2029 RD applicants. Ask your questions and connect with fellow applicants.
anyone got any portal astrology strategies, along with any idea when RD decisions will be released??? Also I got deferred ED OOS, and want to know if this is a soft rejection or if I actually have a chance

My guess for release date is March 21st. Based on past acceptance rates for deferred applicants, it’s in the 5% to 10% range. My question is: When reviewing for RD do they consider you’ve applied ED or is it a blind review?

I agree with this - it’s almost always within a few days of my daughter’s birthday and it’s always on a Friday around 5 pm.
That postcard was sent to our mailing list in October!
It’s official! RD results will be posted Friday, March 14!

Anyone know why there is even a deferral choice if the acceptance rate is like/less than 5%? (just curious)

Is anyone’s application checklist gone? My upload materials bar is still there though, which makes me scared because that might mean I got waitlisted so they want me to update the LOCI through that.
On the upload bar it says this:
If you are a student who has accepted a place on our waiting list and would like to add a note of continued interest to your application materials, you are welcome to do so here. Uploading a letter of continued interest here will allow the committee to see your additional information should we be able to make more admission offers later this spring.
You might also find this website a helpful resource if you haven’t already visited it. We remain grateful for your interest in UVA and we wish you the best as you finish your senior year of high school.
I already replied to you on reddit, but for the good of the order…
We’ve had the same system since 2018. There is no early sign of an admission decision. We post about the maintenance we do leading up to decisions every single year.

Are there early signs of my decision anywhere?
The portal will look different leading up to the decision release as the technical team does their work. These changes are not tied to your decision.

Does the total number of RD applicants include the deferred applications from EA?
I think it does. They are part of the RD pool.
Good luck tonight everyone! According to Dean J’s blog, only 11% VA kids got accepted during RD. That would be 387 out of 3,519. D25 got deferred from EA and she doesn’t like her chances. She’s 
for at least to get waitlisted so she could go to UVA Wise for a year and transfer to C’ville. She applied to College of Arts and Sciences.
