<p>mom3kids: My friend’s son was wait listed at UVA and accepted a spot at VT (we are in state). A lady in the admission’s office left a message on their answering machine on a Friday afternoon. My friend had to wait until Monday to make the call and find out the details and to tell the admission’s office that her son was still interested in UVA. Within 24 hours of calling UVA, the offer showed up in the UVA portal and this boy accepted. I believe he was given one week from the original message to accept or decline the offer.</p>
