McIntire Three-Year Program Insights | Charlottesville News

McIntire’s three-year program saw a record-breaking applicant pool this year, with 876 first-year applicants—same as last year—and a 43.5% acceptance rate. Nearly all admitted students (97.6%) enrolled, and the academic bar rose: average GPA jumped to 3.9, with more students boasting 3.7+ and even 3.8+ GPAs. Though application numbers stayed flat compared to last year, they surged from when second-years could apply—and even more from 2019. The video essay was dropped this year, replaced by written essays, sparking debate: some miss the chance to show real-time thinking, while others found it tough but doable with support. Still, students love the program’s early recruiting edge and tight-knit class culture. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
