<p>It’s too soon to tell. After May 1st, when everyone has made their decisions about either accepting a place on the waitlist or accepting a spot in the first year class there will be more information. The waitlist is set up to reflect potential needs for each school of UVA and with regard to OOS/IS numbers. If a lot of accepted students take their spot, then there will subsequently be fewer waitlisted students who are accepted. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, since May 1st is usually the acceptance deadline for most schools, you will likely need to place a deposit somewhere else. If UVA is your top choice, send in any additional info/recs. that might help show what you’ve done since December and be prepared to wait. Then, if you do get called from the wait-list, then you’ll just have to withdraw your name/spot at the other school.</p>
