Is there a fb group?!
^^^^^^^^^
Congrats everyone who got in! I got into UVA CAS and rejected from Emory today.
HS GPA: terrible, probably 2.0 not sure
Priv NJ Uni GPA: 3.64
VCCS GPA: 3.86
President of STEM club, some ECs, worked alot (4-5 jobs throughout the year), essay was pretty good (I talked about how I slacked off in hs and how I improved since then)
Should we make a groupchat or something for accepted students? We could network and all that
A group chat of some sort sounds like a great idea!
Great idea!!
search uva fall 2020 transfer on fb!
Um that’s against college confidential’s terms of service so I’d strongly advise against it…
Could you post the link? Having trouble finding it haha. Thanks!
I feel like a Facebook group is perfectly fine. Sorry, group chat was the wrong term
It won’t let me post the link. “UVA Fall 2020 Transfers”
Nevermind, I just read the terms. Thanks! Just confused bc other blogs were posted earlier!
Congrats! Do you think that your major (that only UVA offers) had something to do with it?
Are you from NJ and chose to go to a VCC @pastelblue14 ?
How do we check if we got any financial aid/scholarships?
I was out of state in NJ, went there for 1 sem bc the area was so sketch and then transferred to vccs for 3 sems which made me an in-state applicant for UVA!
(For future applicants, im gonna post my stats):
I got accepted into UVA and NYU today
- Current sophomore
- Currently attending GMU
- IN STATE student
- HS GPA: 3.4
- SAT: 1310
- Applied to UVA in highschool, got waitlisted
- College GPA: 3.87
- Essays: 9/10 -- i worked really hard on them
- Good recommendation from my english professor
- I had all course requirements done, except for 1 class
- Major: Psychology
- My extracurriculars were really bad tbh. I only had 2
The blog says financial aid information will start to go out next week if you look at the one with the header “Fall Decisions: Offered Admission”
Accepted into the College of Engineering. I wanted to post my stats if anyone in the future was checking the past thread. I had no info found for financial aid this whole time, and I applied for financial aid before the deadline and filled out the FAFSA and CSS profile on time.
College GPA: 4.0
Random Community College
Out of State Student
HS GPA: 3.89 (IIRC)
ACT: 30
Major: Electrical Engineering
Essays: I revised them a lot and tried hard but I am not a great writer probably 7-8/10
Extracurriculars: 6/10
LOR: I assume good, I waived the opportunity to read them but the professors I asked know how hard I work
I also had a question, in my letter of acceptance it says: “Admission is granted to individual schools and not specific departments within the schools. Please check major program web pages carefully and contact major program directors if you have questions about program pre-requisites.”
Does this mean I have to apply to get my major? I applied and was accepted into the college of engineering. If I do have to apply for it is it competitive?
I would really appreciate it if any of you could explain if you know how this works. I was really nervous about this decision and congratulations to everyone who got in.
Accepted. Don’t know how lol they didn’t get my Hs transcript until 4/20. Didn’t submit any extra information either
