@doctornc Thank you! yes the honors acceptance arrived by mail. It sounds like the GAP committee meets in late January and decisions go out by early Feb. Not sure if that’s for official offers or for the next round (i.e. interviews). She got her honors letter last Wednesday.
Received acceptance for Honors College by mail a few days ago. Received notification of interview about a week or so ago for GA.
not sure if GA programs meet by to which program you’re applying. My daughter applied for GA Nursing.
I applied Nov 15 and heard back today. It took so long it was insane.
I have applied for Dentistry. Best of luck to your daughter!
@stressedinvirginia - which GA program did you apply for?
@dochoo I didn’t apply to a GA program I applied general admission.
@stressedinvirginia what are your stats?
@locogirl21 ACT: 29 GPA:4.3 weighted
Well, honor acceptances may be sent by mail, however, I just got an email that included, “We regret that the competition was such that we are unable to offer you admission to the Honors College at this time” Slightly bothers me they’ll only send acceptances by mail. It’s awkward to tell my parents “I got VCU’s Honor College admission denial today in my email!” Versus the suspense that mail has that my parents and I can both experience at the same time. Oh well.
FYI- my daughter got her Honor College acceptance information yesterday in the mail. We are OOS from Ohio. She got accepted into VCU Arts. Looks like we have to apply for scholarships for the Honors program separately now too.
congratulations on acceptance to VCUARTS and honors.
@DBY2017 How long did it take for you to hear from VCUArts? DS applied in December and we are still waiting. Congrats!!
My daughter applied in November and got accepted in early December. VCU was the first school she heard from- it only took 3 weeks. You had to apply by Nov 15th to be considered for scholarships.
@DBY2017 Thank you. I have heard from others that their decision came quite quickly, so I don’t anticipate that DS will be accepted. It’s not one of his favorites but he applied since it is in-state tuition for us
FYI- despite VCU stating scholarship info would be sent out early spring we received a letter today. Daughter got offered Provost scholarship plus $8.000 a year. So it basically pays for half of OOS costs. Pretty awesome but that still means we need to come up with another $20,000 a year.
My D’s VCU application is an unholy mess. Like others on here, she applied in November (VCUARTS), still hasn’t heard. First there was a glitch with Naviance, so counselor letter that was supposed to go out in November, didn’t go til January. No clue what effect that had. Whats more, her VCU VIP page is totally useless. At various times it has indicated that her transcript or portfolio had not been received. Then we call and are told, no, the application is complete, our website is just glitchy that way (THEN DON"T USE IT!!!). So I ask whether any of these glitches or paper work issues affect when we should hear and all I get is “she will hear anytime between now and April 1st”. She is relatively new to the arts (interested in Digital Art and VCU kinetic imaging program) so getting turned down would not be a surprise despite her strong grades and test scores. But for pete’s sake, make a decision already!!!
Please forgive the preceding rant.
@PhilipM I share your frustration. DS applied in December and they sent an acknowledgement email stating they had everything. Yet we have heard nothing. My gut feeling is that this means he will be rejected, as many people on CC who applied to VCU Arts received their acceptance letter within 2 weeks of VCU receiving all documents. So I’m thinking we will get the rejection letter in early to mid March. My DS also likes digital art - graphic design. His portfolio was only graphic design and photography so that’s probably too weak for VCU Arts. I’m so frustrated though, I just wish we knew one way or the other so we can start figuring out where he will go.
DBY2017 Congratulations !! that’s an awesome package.
Never let it be said that an angry rant on CC doesn’t pay (see post 36 above). My Ds VCUArts acceptance came today.
