<p>Hello everyone, I am in deep trouble for having my admissions revoked and I was just wondering if it's pretty much 100% sure that my admission will get revoked.</p>
<p>I completed my freshmen year at Virginia Tech and applied as a transfer student into the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences to do Biomedical Engineering from Chemical Engineering at VT. </p>
<p>My first semester was pretty impressive and I did real well and got accepted as a transfer student. However, I got mono and fell behind in a lot of my classes. To make a long story short, I ended up failing two classes and withdrawing from one. I know this is REALLY bad and it DEFINITELY compromises my acceptance into UVA. As of now, my overall GPA is a shoddy, unimpressive 2.61</p>
<p>My question is based on this, is it pretty much guaranteed that my admission will be rescinded? Is there any way that the admissions office will take into the fact that I was ill this semester? I need to know soon before I don't pay my tuition at Virginia Tech for next year and so I can let this guy who is releasing his UVA housing contract to me know.</p>
<p>Edit: I forgot to add that I already put in my $250 deposit. I havent sent my second semester transcript yet because I need some feedback about the situation.</p>
<p>in this case i think it would be best or wise for you to contact admissions directly and not cc. CC cannot answer questions for specific cases like these, only the people who are deciding your admission can. If you really are serious about UVA, and want to explain these circumstances to the admissions, i suggest you make an appointment with them asap and talk to them in person</p>
<p>I agree with pmanliu, you'll need to do something quickly. I think I've seen Dean J post before that there is a Dean of Admissions on-call everyday. You should call ASAP and explain your concern, the reasons behind your faltering grades (mono), and your desire to still attend UVA. Be pro-active, it will look better from a maturity point of view. Don't delay. Good luck.</p>
<p>last year (or the year prior) a dad reported on cc that his son's admission was being reviewed bcos of senior-itis in the spring. The kid had no excuses other than parties. But, dad was mad that UVa did not notify them until mid-to-late summer, after UVa had received the transcript from the HS. The kid was not rescinded, but it made for a few miserable weeks while it was under review.</p>
<p>Thus, the moral of the story is be proactive, as p-puff says. Send your transcripts now with a letter explaining your illness. Even better, if you are healthy enough, ask if you could try to retake one of those courses this summer, perhaps at a community college, so you won't be so far behind.</p>
<p>I agree. You're in danger because of the grades. But, mono is terrible, and any school will understand. I'd call and talk to a Dean and ask them for advice for what you should do/who you should talk to. The Dean right there may say "well, if you have a solid reason for the grades, you're okay" or they might say we'll take it under review. If they're taking it for review, write a letter ASAP! Explain your illness, how you're determined to make it up, and try to arrange to take a class to make it up if you can. I would try to take classes that you failed/withdrew in, and try to take them at CC. I doubt you'd be able to do UVA summer session at this point, but I took a CC class last summer (diffEQ) and there's nothing wrong with it. Just try to take something (my biggest suggestion is take Physics II or DiffEQ at a CC..two notably hard courses at UVA). Also, there's a 4-credit online physics course being offered through UVA (so you get full UVA credit) that I can send you more info on if you want to take it. If you took that, at least you'd be taking something and you'd get some GPA going and it'd count as an elective.</p>
<p>Good luck. Keep us posted and PM me if you have e-school related transfer questions. I'm a VT transfer last year (second year) into the e-school so I know what's up ;) Keep a positive attitude, UVA doesn't want to kick you out! And DO NOT DO NOT sign an off-grounds lease until you know. You mentioned paying tuition, which doesn't happen for awhile. You'll know before that date. And for on-grounds housing, if you want the contract, sign it now. Even if you don't go, nothing will happen to either person.</p>
<p>I know I should talk to the dean and I plan to call him first thing tommorow, but I have one more question that's really bugging me.</p>
<p>I feel like this is gonna cause a 100% of my acceptance to be revoked..I just reviewed my unofficial transcript and based on the Withdraw/failed classes, I found out that I only have a total of 22 completed credits.</p>
<p>On the UVA page, the definition of a transfer student is one that has completed 24 credits after high school. Does this mean that there is NO chance whatsoever of attending UVA? Will they not even consider the fact that I had some form of mono for the majority of the semester? I plan to include this in my discussion with the dean of admissions tommorow, but I'm on the edge of my seat now, I would hate to not be able to go to UVA anymore, especially to shoot my hopes after already being accepted.</p>
<p>When you call them, it might be useful if you are able to tell them how you are signed up (or plan to sign up) for classes x and y during the summer to make up for classes that you dropped/failed while you were sick. Is this possible--would you be able to take classes during the summer?</p>
<p>It wouldn't hurt to make an appointment with your doctor, explain the situation, and ask for help. (Believe it or not, most doctors really do want to help.) Sometimes non-physicians don't know that mono can be quite debilitating. A letter or phone call could also be reassuring to the school. They'd like to know you're not infectious and aren't depressed.</p>
