Early action vs regular decision acceptance rate at UVA?

I'm torn between applying early action or regular decision at UVA. Does anyone know how the acceptance rates compare between these two options?

Applying Early Action (EA) can generally increase your chances of being accepted compared to applying Regular Decision (RD). It shows a certain level of interest and commitment to a college, which can be perceived positively by admissions officers.

University of Virginia, like many colleges, does not publish separate acceptance rates for the EA and RD pools. However, in general, you can observe that most institutions—including UVA—see a higher acceptance rate for the EA pool than the RD pool, but it's important to remember that this may be impacted by stronger candidates often applying early.

Please also be mindful of the potential drawbacks of EA. If you apply EA, you're submitting your application early, so if you think your senior fall grades or some additional extracurricular achievements may strengthen your application, RD could be a better option.

No matter which option you choose, remember that UVA will take a holistic approach to your application, considering both academic and non-academic factors. It's always best to focus on presenting your strongest possible application, regardless of whether it's EA or RD.
