Official UVA Transfer Thread--Fall 2013

<p>Last year they put 500 on the waitlist, and accepted around 80, according to last year’s transfer admissions blog.</p>

<p>and to future applicants i also noticed the green check super early, beginning of april if not late march.</p>

<p>So this is technically the year we found out that all those so called early “indicators” were false.</p>

<ul>
<li>Check-mark dates will vary</li>
<li>To-do’s mean nothing</li>
</ul>

<p>Wait listed :-/ ughhhhh :frowning:
It’s a good thing William & Mary loves me!</p>

<p>Waitlisted!</p>

<p>When are waitlist ppl usually notified?</p>

<p>^From mid May till the end of June.</p>

<p>Accepted to the SEAS. Absolutely thrilled.</p>

<p>Accepted to the SEAS, thank God. Absolutely thrilled.</p>

<p>aaaaannnnnndddd I’m in purgatory as well. Happy to be here rather than rejected, still have my acceptance to UNC in my back pocket. Sorry to those who got rejected, congrats to those who got in.</p>

<p>For future reference, all the green check mark means is all parts of your application have been received and it is ready to read. If you search this on the UVa forum you’ll find it throws first year applicants off as well (understandably). Congratulations and best of luck to all!</p>

<p>My high school record was very good, and thats essentially what got me in. I had great recommendations that I sent again with my transcript. I am in the honors program at my current school, too, which also helped. I got in as a first year, but decided not to go. I’m glad im going now.</p>

<p>Waitlisted and already declined. I noticed that there was sth like course requirement for transfer applicant on the website but I did not fulfill all the requirement. Anyway got in UNC so good luck to everyone on the Waitlist!!</p>

<p>Anyone know when we can review the financial aid awards?</p>

<p>Hey guys,
I got accepted into A&S I wanted to offer whatever insight I could to those who are still waiting for an acceptance. I was very nervous throughout the entire process. I had the minimal amount of credits needed to transfer, and submitted my supplemental materials very late–though UVA was my first choice. Initially I wanted to apply next semester because I felt I could make myself a stronger applicant. I spoke to the “dean of the day” literally every other day before I applied.
The Adcom wants to see that you have the potential to do well at UVA and that accepting you would be beneficial to both you as a student, and to them as a university. As of now you are at a level playing field, and they do see you as a competitive candidate otherwise you wouldn’t have been waitlisted. Of course you MUST, MUST, MUST finish off the semester strong to show them that you are capable. At the end of the semester, immediately after your official transcript is sent, you should send a letter of interest stating your specific course of study, why you think you would be a good fit (Do your research! What programs/enrichment opportunities would you be interested in? How would it help you grow as a student), and let them know that UVA is your number one choice (if you do plan on attending). They want to see that you will graduate successfully. They want to see that you have a passion, and that upon graduation your passion will translate into a lifelong commitment to learning. They want to see that that you, as a student and as a professional will represent UVA well, and will emerge as a leader in your field to make a difference in society…Also, they prefer that you have completed all of your gen eds so you can begin taking classes towards your intended major.</p>

<p>I had initially thought I would get waitlisted so I have literally read every single one of Dean J’s posts through the years. On their website it was mentioned that they “wait-list strong, interesting students to whom [they] would like to offer admission if space is available.” So you really need to bank on your uniqueness/diverse experiences. In the past they have pulled around 50-100 students off of the waitlist and it varies per year. So stay strong and I truly wish every single one of you the absolute best!! For now study, study, study for finals! Good luck!</p>
