UVA Fall 2019 Transfer Thread

I decided not to accept my admission because I chose UNC, hope this opens up a spot!

@Sofiseahawk Which college did you apply to? :slight_smile:

What grades would everyone recommend for students that got admitted to finish the year out, without getting their acceptances revoked?

@Busybee123 the best grades possible. A C and above should be fine. It may come off as slacking off since you knew you’d probably be at another school next semester.

is there an official transfer student facebook group out there?

I applied for Econ in CAS!

Hi guys, do you know if we could ask for an extension of deposit? I still haven’t heard from two other schools and the deadline for uva is next Wednesday. Thanks!

@youxilll No, they won’t give you an extension, especially if you are just waiting on other schools.

got it. Thank you so much!

Hi everyone! Are there any groups for transfer students?

Does anyone know the chances of getting off the waitlist for McIntire applicants?

hey guys did everyone receive their welcome packets yet lol

Got accepted off the waitlist for Mcintire ??. This is huge for me but the problem is I have already paid the deposit fee for W&M ( money’s not the problem) and I also submitted an application for housing. Lets hope they let me go easily lol

@bigbro1212 woha congrats! I haven’t even gotten my final grades back yet :open_mouth: I hope you can work it out with W&M!

Fall 2020 transfer is awhile away but I was wondering if anyone could give me their opinion on where I stand as of now. I want to apply to UVa School of Engineering and Applied Science. I am a Computer Science major at NVCC with a current GPA of 3.568 I will have all of the required courses completed by the end of Spring 2020 and will be applying while finishing up the very last required course and will be transferring as a 3rd year. I anticipate I will have finished the associates degree at a 3.4 GPA. I am currently working on obtaining recommendations and am involved in the coding club at school as well as do volunteer work where I live. Thanks.

How did you get notified that you got off the waitlist? did you get an email or did you just check the portal? Im also on the waitlist and don’t know when I would find out

@Novascotia To my understanding, we will hear back on the first Friday of June if you applied for CAS. It’s supposed to be sent out through an email.

Does anyone know the chances of getting off the waitlist typically? How much do spring grades play a part?

Hi all, my daughter was accepted to CAS and put down her deposit. But after much soul-searching, she has decided to remain at her LAC and she will be rescinding her acceptance. So there will be at least one spot opening up soon
good luck!

Hey guys, I have two options for housing and really need your input. Should I stay on/off campus for $8-10k a year, or get driven by an acquaintance 2 hours coming and going everyday for a total of 4 hours and study/be in the comfort of my home (they are happy to do it and suggested it). I will be taking around 12-15 credits and am a CS major. Thank you

@Hasanm Commuting four hours a day is no joke - I would definitely seek housing either on or off grounds for the extra $8k - $10k a year. Four hours a day may not seem like a lot on paper, but I can’t imagine how draining that would become pretty quickly. Plus, you won’t be able to partake in a lot of on-grounds activities that take place after class.
