Ha they deleted @YonceKnowles message, I don’t understand why mine got deleted as well :-??
@BowTy14 do you think grade deflation is a valid excuse? I mean, you could of known not to go to W&M because of their grading, I didn’t think it was ever a secret. I hope you put that in your additional comments section!
@plsplspls I think it’s a different scale all in all; I know a lot of kids from my high school at other universities in VA who aren’t necessarily all that serious about their academics who have higher GPAs than I do at their current schools, without any noticeable change in study habits. I don’t like to think of it as an excuse per say, but a different scale of sorts
@BowTy14 @plsplspls yeah bowty, I’ve spoken to many people and professors and advisors who have told me that uva will most definitely take that into consideration, as well as the fact that uva and W&M admit similar students (intellect wise). I hope we both get in bc another year here would be hell lol. My advisor told me that my HS record and essays could potentially make up for my gpa. Only problem is that over 50% of transfer seats go to VA community college students.
@uvahopeful101 true, i really wish i had applied as a freshman haha. the atmosphere and culture at UVA seems so much less tense and academically obsessed and yet the degree carries the same weight. just two more days till we find out!
VCU had decided to admit students WITHOUT SAT; VT decided recommendation letter is a joke! What say you?
Does anyone here REALLY know why VA CC students scored high in transfer?
@quanfo guaranteed admission agreement
@plsplspls no, the real reason behind the guaranteed part. Think hard, why? Did you notice the question on Common App, are you Latino? why?
The community colleges in Virginia are designed so that students take classes that are fitted for Virginia schools, especially UVA, so you would think they would accept a student who has appropriate curriculum compared to an instate student at a different Virginian university. There might be quotas, and agreements with the state that make them have to accept VA CC students more.
I just want to know if my high school GPA and ACT score will stop me from getting in
@canucksfangirl the train is not stopping! You will find out soon enough. Stay confident!
@plsplspls I have half a mind to just call and ask them their decision!
@canucksfangirl lets camp out in front of admissions
@plsplspls it’s political and funds, funds, funds
@plsplspls I’m with you!
@quanfo every school is a business, let’s not single out UVA!
I think tomorrow is going to be the day …
@BowTy14 are you a freshman right now at the College?
@hoospls … The blog lady said that it’s historically released on Friday and she then said that may 1st is a Friday as well…in the same sentence…
