Just to clarify, wait list decisions can trickle out over the entire summer until the waitlist is closed by the university. So thereās really no way to know when you will hear. If they have pushed the start date back to May 15, this may go on longer than normal.

Yes it is pushed back to May 15 and the waitlist isnāt even final until April 15th so really everyone on the waitlist needs to enroll at one of their admitted choices and then enjoy a pleasant surprise (albeit stressful 48hrs to decide!) if you get word you are selected off of it for admission. Please do not gamble away the choices you have holding out on a low chance of acceptance from the large waitlist. Looking at your earlier posts it appears you applied to the College of Nursing as an OOS applicant. I donāt know if youāve seen the actual numbers, but there are at most 80 students accepted into Nursing, and UVA will maintain between 2/3 and 3/4 in state representation so you were competing for 20-26 spots. Its nice to keep the dream alive, but not at the expense of missing out on options already in hand!

My D was accepted and is in the same situation, there is no guarantee sheāll be admitted into the business school. Iāve heard some folks with a 3.4gpa were admitted and others with a 3.8gpa were not, so thatās fairly concerningā¦If you want to major in business itās a risk and contingent on the institutional priorities at the time. I would take the risk if instate but would weigh your options if OOS. UVA is a great school so a difficult decision!

Appreciate it. My S24 is OOS and with no merit $ available to OOS kids it makes for an expensive gamble. I wish FL had better business school options.

UVA offers a 4-yr full Cost of Attendance merit and leadership scholarship but it is through the Jefferson foundation, not the school itself.
It can be used for undergrad and grad as one can finish the Bachelors in 3 yrs or less with AP and CLEP credits. So one can start a UVa grad program for their 4th year. Most colleges only allow applying heavy scholarships towards undergrad study. Applying either EA or RD qualifies.
Award value: $186K for in-state applicants, and $347K (or 1/3 of a million dollars) for OOS and international applicants, plus Echols.
Plus more such a $4K professional development / conference attendance support, Univ. of Oxford semester abroad, and more:
Thereās also the Walentas (for 1st gen) which offers the same COA coverage. Jefferson also covers UVa grad school including Darden (MBA program). I donāt know much about the Walentas process but my D applied for the Jefferson.
One must be nominated by their high school guidance counselor where thereās a limit of 1 or 2 students nominations per high school. The UVA admissions committee can also nominate. Then they proceed to the regional interview. The interview is interactive and the interview panel has access to the Jefferson application. If a large metro area there may be a semi-finalist round prior to the finalist round, so 2 interviews to finalist vs. 1. The pool is funneled to 120 - 125 finalists of which about 40 winners are selected. (1% of the class) Selection occurred 2 weeks ago.
If one didnāt apply EA, those who make to the finalist stage are guaranteed admission. Those applying EA who were rejected (I think EA decision is before Jefferson finalists are announced), cannot move forward in the Jefferson competition. UVA invites all winners, including international winners, to an on-campus preview program at the schoolās expense. What a supportive school as I canāt see any other public univ. doing this.
The interview questions were tougher than the canned questions for sizeable scholarships at her other schools. One of her Jefferson rounds had 7 interviewers on the panel. Based upon what she told me of the interview questions, theyāre seeking what Iād consider true scholars. I wouldnāt have made it to the end but people do. Something like 8% of entering freshman were Jefferson applicants.
The few schools with admission more competitive than UVa, do not offer merit based aid. This is the highest tier one can secure a sizable merit scholarship.
Although UVa is a public univ., it feels like a private school when it comes to a lot of things including the alumni network.
As for non-merit aid, UVa does meet 100% financial need. I think itās the only public school which does. An older D got into UC-Berkeley as OOS and received no aid.

UNC also meets 100% need
Congratulations to all who were admitted! For everyone else, based on UVAās common data set, one has a better chance doing well somewhere else and transferring in vs. coming off the waitlist:
Yikes! I thought WashUās waiting list was badā¦ this is essentially a ānoā.
The waitlist moved much better in 2023 from what I am told.
We provided seven years of waiting list data on the waiting list page of our website. We linked to this page in the decision letter. I repeatedly remind students to share this with the adults in their life because I know the CDS only shows one year and itās a year behind.
