The Belles are the first all-female a Capella group at UVa, and much like the hit TV show, they perfo...

The University of Virginia will offer a nonbinding early-action admission plan starting next fall, officials announced on Tuesday. The news comes four years after the university dropped its binding early-decision program amid concerns that the option attracted a disproportionate number of affluent students.
The University of Virginia is planning to adopt a policy that allows high school seniors to learn before the national notification date whether they've been admitted to the school, yet doesn't commit them to enrolling.
The University of Virginia rolled out its “early action” program Tuesday, a plan designed to put UVa in better position to enroll the best students by giving them a faster “yes” or “no” on admissions applications. The new plan, presented Tuesday to the Board of Visitors, will allow students to apply early to UVa and hear back early. They aren’t obliged to attend the school, or to make it the only school they apply to early.
