Transfer chances to UVA for second year?

I can’t advise on chances, but I do have 2 suggestions. HS guidance offices in the counties around GMU have reams of data on the GPAs & SAT scores of their applicants. Maybe there is an office at GMU that has similar data for transfers to UVA. You should contact UVA admissions and see what they will tell you and if they have any data on successful transfer applications. Check DeanJ’s posts on the UVA forum and her blog for anything she’s had to say about transfer applications as well.

I believe the class that started in September 2011 is larger than typical (yield was > than expected). I do not know if that translates into fewer transfer slots for 2nd years starting in Fall 2012. Good luck.

In the meanwhile, work to get your GPA as high as you can. If unsuccessful this year, try again next year if UVA is still your goal. Good luck.
