University of Virginia essay review
University of Virginia asks for no supplemental essay for 2026-27, so the one essay University of Virginia reads is your personal statement. A NudgeEssay review reads that statement against the prompt you pick, not against a general checklist: six rubric bands scored 1 to 5, notes on your own sentences in the margin, a map of where a reader's attention holds and where it drops, and a ranked list of fixes with the biggest one first. The first fix and the line a reader kept come back free; the full marked-up report is $49 for one essay or $299 for 20.
The University of Virginia prompts and deadlines below were read on University of Virginia's own admissions site on 2026-08-18. NudgeEssay is not affiliated with University of Virginia and makes no claim about any admissions decision.
What University of Virginia asks you to write
University of Virginia asks for no supplemental essay this cycle, so there is one essay to get right: your personal statement, submitted through Common App. That is the draft a review reads.
108 of the colleges in this dataset ask for no school-specific essay. See the full list of colleges with no supplemental essays, or the University of Virginia requirements page for the deadlines and the source.
What the review does to your University of Virginia essay
It reads the draft cold, the way a stranger with four hundred more files to get through reads it, and answers the question that decides the essay: what is still there a week later. Then it scores six rubric bands from 1 to 5, each with a short quote from your own essay that drove the band and two or three sentences on what would raise it.
It marks your own sentences in the margin, maps where a reader’s attention holds and where it drops across the draft, screens for the patterns that read as AI-written or consultant-written, names the stock archetypes the essay is falling into, and ranks the fixes with the biggest one first. It points at your own material and never writes a sentence for you to paste.
Because University of Virginia asks for no supplement, prompt fit is judged against the personal statement prompt you picked.
All 23 checks are listed on what the review checks. Seven complete reports on sample essays are published unedited, exactly as the engine wrote them, on the samples page, and what a college essay grader leaves out explains where the six bands stop and the read begins.

What University of Virginia reports about admissions
University of Virginia admits 16.8% of applicants. The middle 50% of enrolled students scored 1410-1540 on the SAT and 32-35 on the ACT.
From the federal College Scorecard, pulled 2026-09-17. Score figures describe enrolled students, not applicants and not admits, and they are not a cutoff. No admission probability is stated anywhere on this site, because colleges do not publish admit rates conditional on a score, so any single percentage would be invented. The free chance me tool sorts a list into reaches, targets and likelies and gives no percentage either.
