However, this, compared against the first-year acceptance rate of 17%, has led to UVA having a reputation for being easy to get into as a transfer. Wed argue, though, that this is a little misleading. The UVA transfer acceptance rate, just like the first-year acceptance rate, isnt 33% across all majors.
