ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS - FIRST YEAR

In reading applications for admission to the first-year class, we value intellectual ability, academic achievement, and personal qualities that would contribute to the University community. In particular, we focus on the following credentials:

• Excellent performance in a rigorous secondary-school program, including at least four units of English, four of college-preparatory mathematics, two of foreign language, one of social science, and two of science (from among biology, chemistry, and physics; engineering applicants must take three units of science, including physics. These are minimum requirements; since most successful applicants exceed them, we recommend that candidates take the most rigorous academic program available in their school, including at least five academic courses each year and AP, IB, and honors courses whenever possible.
• Results from the SAT I or the ACT (including the writing portion). We use the highest score on each part of the SAT I and the highest composite score on the ACT.
• We strongly recommend results from two SAT II Subject Tests in any subjects of your choice.
• Recommendations from the high school, from the guidance or college counselor and one teacher. We prefer recommendations be submitted online through the Common Application website, not mailed separately to the Office of Admission.
• Completed application. The Common Application consists of several parts; the Basic Application, the U.Va. Supplement to the Common Application, School and Transcript Report, and Mid-Year Grade Report.

We neither require interviews nor use them in the evaluation process. Admission is need blind; that is, we consider candidates without regard to their financial circumstances. For requirements for transfer candidates, please see Transfer Admission.
