The University of Virginia has now extended offers of admission to 9,898 students from all walks of life and all around the world, inviting them to join 鶹ƽ Class of 2025.
The latest decisions went out Thursday, part of the “regular decision” admissions cycle. Some 2,620 students were offered admission in this cycle, joining students previously offered in 鶹ƽ binding early decision application cycle in December and non-binding early action phase in January.
The students admitted to the Class of 2025 represent a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives. According the preliminary data from 鶹ƽ Office of Admission, the admitted class includes a record 1,184 first-generation college students, representing 12% of offers made. Fifty percent of total offers were made to students of minority backgrounds (41%), including African American, Asian, American Indian, Hawaiian Pacific Islander and Hispanic students; and to international students (9%).
While the numbers are not final, Dean of Admission Gregory W. Roberts said this year’s class is a remarkable group, reflecting 鶹ƽ commitment to attracting high-achieving students from all walks of life and providing an affordable, world-class educational experience.
