<p>@ktdid92 I found it. Thanks!</p>
<p>Hi everyone! Congratulations and welcome to UVA! I’m posting because I’m looking to transfer my off-grounds lease for next year, and am hoping that one of you all will be interested. Living off grounds is a really awesome experience and a great way to meet people. My apartment is at Wertland Square, which is right on the Corner where all the shops and restaurants and bars are, as well as a 5 minute walk to grounds. My roommates are awesome people–the only reason I’m leaving them is because I decided last minute to graduate early, but you will be lucky to have them as roommates/as some of the first people you meet at UVA. </p>
<p>Rent is $510 and would involve sharing a room. The lease officially starts at the end of July, but the room is available for summer school as well. If you’re not going to move in until August, I’d also be happy to prorate August’s rent for you. I am also willing to leave all my furniture. Email me (Megan) at <a href=“mailto:mls4rb@virginia.edu”>mls4rb@virginia.edu</a> if you are interested, or if you have any questions at all about UVA!</p>

<p>Is anyone else trying to decide between UVa and W&M? I’m so torn and don’t know how to make a decision…they’re so different. I feel like I can’t even compare them.</p>
<p>Accepted out-of-state transfer into McIntire!</p>
<p>Anyone know of good housing options for transfers? I’d like to be able to meet a lot of people.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I posted a version of this a few pages back:</p>
<p>For on-Grounds housing, you should be looking at Lambeth or Bice (especially Bice, it is right across the street from Rouss Hall, the Commerce building). If you are placed anywhere else, it is not worth it to live on Grounds. Location & amenities for the price you pay is too much. </p>
<p>That being said, since you’ll be in McIntire you may end up not caring that much because you’ll be spending the majority of your time (especially first semester) in the building working on your ICE project and other school work. </p>
<p>However, it is a pain to not be able to go back to your place for a little bit before a group meeting or something like that. In my experience, it took me around 30 minutes to wait for a bus, get on the bus, ride up to North Grounds where I live, snag a couple things, wait for the bus to return, and ride back down to Grounds. And on days when the buses run very infrequently/not at all like football Saturdays, you’ll be SOL and have to walk to Central Grounds. One last thing to add about the buses - they don’t run after 12:30 AM Sunday - Wednesday so if you finish up work late you’ll either have to call Safe Ride, get a ride from a friend, or walk.</p>
<p>So, if you aren’t placed in Lambeth or Bice, it is my recommendation that you try to find somewhere off Grounds to live.</p>
<p>Off Grounds, most people live on Jefferson Park Avenue (JPA) or the Rugby Road/Corner area. JPA is cheaper and a little quieter from what I understand but the Rugby area is closer to Central Grounds/a lot of social events (fraternities, bars, Corner restaurants, Madison House, etc.)</p>
<p>Feel free to PM me if you want.</p>
<p>so transfers received their decisions may 1st but i’m in somewhat of a predicament… there was a problem with my transcripts and so they didn’t get sent but i can send them now… so have they made a decision still or not? and if so can i send them now? i really want to go to uva and do not want this to mess up my chances.</p>
<p>just a question for fellow transfers… I’m just a little concerned about “fitting in” and being a little too old or older than most (23 years old will be 24 in fall of 2012) fellow students. It has me wondering if maybe I should just stay at home and commute to George Mason. Is there anyone similar to my situation and is there anybody who knows the age variety or if there is a good amount of age discrepancy UVa? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>mrmr8,</p>
<p>As a 19 year old, I really look up to you older people! You should be fine. We can be friends too! I’m about 5 minutes away from George mason myself haha.</p>
<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I just finished my freshman year at University of Pittsburgh with a GPA of 3.76. SAT 1880.
Did a lot of econ and calc I/II and stats and other gen ed classes. Do u think i have a chance in applying as an econ major for 2013 as a junior?</p>
<p>anyone applying for the spring 13 semester for transfers? how competitive is it in comparison to applying for the fall?</p>
<p>Because a family member was paying for my out of state tuition and decided that he would stop based on my political beliefs, I have been forced to drop out of UNC and enroll in community college in VA. I’m doing very well, and I expect to have a 3.7-4.0 in my current class in community college (Elementary statistics, phil. 101, intro to comm, and business 100).</p>
<p>I just finished my first semester at UNC; while there I got the following grades:
First semester:
LFIT (Phys ed): A
African American Studies: A
Comparative Politics: A-
English 102: A-</p>
<p>Second semester:
German 101: A-
Statistics 155: D+
Arabs and the west (freshman seminar): B
Roman Emperors (freshman seminar): B+</p>
<p>Also, I served as Undergraduate Liaison for the Student Animal Legal Defense Fund at UNC’s law school and played intramural flag football. This summer, I also completed a business program through Keenan-Flagler at UNC for a certificate in business essentials (no academic transfer credit).</p>
<p>In high school, I finished with:
-a 4.5 weighted GPA
-6 AP courses with one 5, four 4’s, and one 3 for AP test scores
-1310 SAT: 740 reading, 570 math, 660 writing
-27 on ACT
-92 out of 488 class rank; top 20%
-Football two years, track 4 years, Spanish national honor society, three officer positions in clubs, tutoring, achievement award for physical education, student government for 2 years</p>
<p>With this in mind, how do my chances look for getting into UVA for next year’s fall semester?</p>
