According to a chart posted at The New York Times, UVA received 28,200 applications for undergraduate admission for the Fall 2012 semester. That’s a nearly 18 percent jump over last year’s total. And while the Times admits its survey is non-comprehensive, UVA certainly sticks out: At present, the school has the greatest percentage increase in admissions among those listed. (Save for Iowa’s Grinnell College—which, it should be noted, received fewer than 3,000 applications last year.) UVA Dean Jeannine Lalonde, who keeps a UVA APplication blog, has more here.
