the last five years in America. Though Nyane
is not sure of her place in the world, she is

FOR
985 EARLY DECISION applicants, the mailbox
recently held a present of sorts. Last month,
U.Va. officially offered the applicants a spot
in the Class of 2009 — 42.5 percent
of those who applied this year, in comparison
to last year’s
39.3 percent. Under early admission,
applicants receive early action on their
applications in exchange for a pledge to attend
U.Va. if they are accepted. Out-of-state applicants
made up 33.1 percent of the pool; minority
groups or those who declined to specify their
ethnicity accounted for 24.2 percent. The deadline
to apply for the regular admission process
is Jan. 2.
