I was deferred ED, and sent in new stuff for UVA. I wrote 2 essays. One of the essays was the "why UVA" essay, but I envision a day there. The other essay is a rewritten personal statement. I also wrote a personal letter to Mr Blackburn and included a activity sheet. Lastly I sent 2 letters of recommendation. One from my Tabla (Indian Drums) teacher who I learned from for 10 years, and another from a former UVA student. My first semester grades are all A's and im in IB program. Okay, my question is if UVA will read all the stuff I sent? Like I was on their website and they said that if you were deferred ur application will be read again during the winter months. The problem is that I didnt send in my stuff until early January. Has UVA already made a decision for me without looking at my sups??

No idea...sending in the extra information definitely wouldn't hurt though. UVA also loves seeing an awesome Midyear Report (straight As!) Good luck!

i called the office of admissions, but they said they couldnt verify if my stuff was sent. I just hope its all there!

I've heard that they don't look at us deferees again until after looking at most of the RD apps, which is a shame. In December I sent in 3 new recs, a graded paper I did for AP English Lit, a letter of intent, and crappy midyear grades. Good luck to you.

I hope they just look at my app now, because it has all the extra stuff hopefully, god i dont even know if its in my file. All I know is that it reached UVA, so rest assured its in my file! It seems though that adcoms are under review for all the applications, which is obvious, but I mean couldnt they have like called a dean or something and transferred me directly so I could ask? Are applicants not allowed to talk to the deans during the review process??

btw, here is the email I recieved from UVA

Hi Ashish

Unfortunately because your file is in the process of being re-reviewed I cannot check to see if your supplemental information is in there at this time.

I think it was a dean who sent it, her name was Stacey, but im not sure.

Stacey Benzel? Yeah, she's a dean. I don't think you should worry.

thrills4ever

yea Stacey Benzel. Im pretty sure everything is in, but would you think shes talking about me or all the deferrees

samedi

Hard to say.

Don't worry...they have so much paperwork to sort through right now...it will end up in the right place eventually. If you are worried, deluge them with e-mails and phone calls!
