<p>General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc:
UVa was the only school I applied to transfer to and I am really hoping that I can be in C-Ville next fall. The recommendation from my Managerial Accounting teacher (Former UVa Professor) should be great as I really enjoyed his class and performed well. I also am hoping that the fact I am a varsity athlete will be taken into account as I usually spend 30 hours a week at practice, in the weight room, or at study hall. Good luck to all those applying to transfer.</p>
