<p>Any rising second-years going to the transfer orientation this summer?</p>
<p>has anyone gotten housing yet?</p>
<p>ummm…so did anyone else’s financial aid package completely blow?</p>
<p>^YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! YES!!!</p>
<p>I was so excited about seeing the financial aid package because I reasoned that there is no way that UVa could be worse (or just as bad) as William & Mary. Turns out I was wrong. </p>
<p>The Pell Grant was not added to my preliminary FA package–it probably will be later–but still, I was expecting much more from the country’s wealthiest public school.</p>
<p>One other quick thing–at the very least, I thought that UVa would at least eliminate unsubsidized loans. I’m hoping that I am eligible for some type of state grant in addition to the Pell because right now my FA award is showing $9,000 in loans.</p>
<p>eh. at least I have options. I’m still waiting for another school, but I wasn’t expecting my instate school to be so terrible.</p>
<p>^My first choice is Penn, and I really hope I get in because Penn recently instituted a no-loan financial aid policy. The only problem is my chances of getting in are…oh…I don’t know…non-existent? lol, oh well…hope for the best but expect the worst.</p>
<p>Hey everyone. I got waitlisted at UVa as an incoming second year. Would anyone mind telling me how this works that knows? How do they determine who comes off the waitlist? I’ve looked at previous years and saw that around 50-100 come off the list at different times. I called and they said my grades were the reason I was waitlisted and they wanted to see if my grades this semester reflected my ability to handle college courses.
HS grades unweight: 3.88
First Semester @ JMU: 3.6 shot.
This semester I will probably get a 3.3 - I got a C+ in a class. Are my chances completely shot?</p>

<p>You mean Michigan?</p>

<p>You can always appeal your award. Transfers generally get the worst aid though (leftovers).</p>
<p>Does anyone know when we should be getting our financial aid awards? I got accepted to Arts and Sciences as a sophomore transfer, but I haven’t heard anything yet, and it’s only two weeks until we have to send in a deposit…</p>
<p>Knights I don’t believe that’s true about transfers getting the leftover aid. I transferred last fall and am basically paying in-state tuition as an OOSer.</p>
<p>ktdid92,</p>
<p>I thought summer orientation was over? And wouldn’t that be nothing new for you if you’re rising?</p>
<p>I scheduled an appointment with a McIntire admin person to discuss ICE and other infos about McIntire. Classes are over so too bad can’t sit in on any :(</p>
<p>Does anyone know about contacting “transfer ambassadors” for a tour? I was thinking about something like that during my visit…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I never said it was true for everyone, but the general consensus for transfers overall (not just UVA) is that it can be pretty tough to get aid.</p>
<p>Nova, if you have questions about McIntire feel free to PM me.</p>
<p>^Thanks, Knights09. I stand corrected. As for the financial aid, my to-do list was recently updated. Hopefully, after I submit new data, things can be amended.</p>
<p>I got into UVA as an out-of-state student and I am so excited! My financial aid wasn’t great but it was way better than what I received at VTech lol. So that made my decision much much easier! UVA ALL THE WAY!! :)</p>
<p>looks like I’m turning down UVA in favor of UNC. Good luck to all those on the waitlist! :)</p>
<p>Yay…gives me hope! Anyone who got in turning down the E-school? 1 spot for the Eschool?</p>
<p>I’m also turning down UVa for UNC! Goooo heels!!!</p>
<p>Would and rising 3rd years want to live in non-UVA housing that’s close to central grounds? I was looking at grandmarc at the corner ([GrandMarc</a> at The Corner Student Apartments - Charlottesville, VA](<a href=“http://www.grandmarcuva.com%5DGrandMarc”>http://www.grandmarcuva.com)) or Oxford hill apartments ([UVA</a> Charlottesville Apartments, UVA Housing, Student Apartments Charlottesville](<a href=“http://www.livewithmsc.com%5DUVA”>http://www.livewithmsc.com)) send me a message</p>
<p>Hi there!</p>
<p>I’m a recently admitted third year/female/out-of-state student — by way of Florida — and am stoked to be attending UVa come August. I read somewhere in the comments of the transfer blog that someone created a Facebook page for 2012 transfers but I’ve searched everywhere to no avail.</p>
<p>If anyone is also looking forward to attending UVa, feel free to reply or send a private message if you’d like to communicate via email.</p>
<p>The above also applies if you’re looking for a female student to live on-Grounds at the JMW houses.</p>
<p>Wahoowah!</p>
<p>Hey there, the group is called “UVA fall transfers 2012.” Try searching that and see if you can find it?</p>
