<p>I've been really worried about UVa since I'm out of state, and the bar's much higher. If I'm denied early admission because my November SAT II's aren't in in time, can I apply again regular decision? Just curious. I've been going back and forth about deciding whether or not to do EA.</p>

<p>If you are deferred, you won’t need to do anything, though you may send additional materials if they enhance your application in an important way.</p>
<p>If you are denied admission, that’s it for 2011-12. You may not reapply during the same admissions year. (And, really, I might be so bitter I wouldn’t want to!)</p>
<p>Your November test scores will not be there in time for Early Action consideration.</p>

<p>If you don’t have SAT2’s to submit, which UVa strongly recommends, I would wait to submit your application until you can include everything to make yourself the best possible candidate. I know you want that earlier answer, I get that, however I would not sacrifice submitting an complete application. This is not Early Decision which sometimes has the benefit of a higher percentage of acceptance because it is binding. Admissions has been very clear the EA applications will be read the same as RD, meaning it will be no easier. The only benefit is an earlier notification. </p>
<p>I don’t ‘do’ chances and try to keep from swaying people, however this is a no brainer. Complete application vs. incomplete application. Send in your application regular decision, to be evaluated with your SAT2’s for strongest consideration.</p>
<p>Best of luck to you!!</p>
<p>Thanks, to both of you. blueiguana, I remember reading that a little while ago, but last night on the UVa chat thing, the question was asked and one of the admission officers said that if they get your SAT II results from November before they look at your application, they’d consider it.</p>
<p>As a SEAS applicant (engineeringhopeful?) something you want to consider is admissions going to be looking for the SAT2 Math 2 that most SEAS applicants submit? Will you be at a disadvantage if your application is read without it? I am not offering an opinion, simply offering you something to think about. If you expect to do well in the SAT2’s you’ll want the first impression to be with those scores I would think. </p>
<p>I do want to add, scores are only one part of the application, but you simply want to ‘leave no question’ so to speak, so the reader can move on to other parts of your application.</p>
<p>Again, best of luck. You sound like a very detail oriented student and I’m sure you will do well.</p>
<p>Thanks. I definitely plan on scoring well on my SAT2 Math 2. Got a 790 on math on SAT I’s and I’m looking for a similar score on Math 2’s.</p>
<p>
Of course this is true. We look at everything that’s in the file. However, it is almost certain that the scores will not be available when we start reviewing the file.</p>
<p>Thanks Dean J. I have another question regarding the engineering supplement if you happen to notice this:</p>
<p>What type of response is admissions looking for? An explanation of something and why it would be helpful, or going into detail about how our “project” functions?</p>
<p>
We frame the questions to allow students to go in different directions with their answers. :)</p>
<p>Hey Dean J I have a question regarding the supplement: “What work of art, music, science, mathematics, or literature has surprised, unsettled, or challenged you, and in what way?”</p>
<p>I want to write about one of my favorite books that deals with broadcast journalism because that is what I want to do in college. I do not really think the book has surprised, unsettled, or really has challenged me too much. Would it be really off topic to write about how the book is influential to me because it reflects everything I want to do when I get older or something around those lines?</p>
<p>if someone just sent his/her november sats right now, would it be considered for early action?</p>
<p>See response #7, above.</p>
<p>Seriously, go ahead and send them. If they are in your file before it is reviewed they will be considered. If, however, your file has been reviewed before the new scores arrive, it doesn’t sound like it will be re-reviewed if new, higher scores show up.</p>
