<p>i got accepted but i'm still waiting on the official letter! :(</p>
<p>I got my beautiful rejection letter today. I guess the university should be sending out all of its letters in the course of the next few days.</p>
<p>All letters were put in the mail on Friday.</p>

<p>My likely letter came today 
(was sent march 2nd) so I don’t think my admissions package will even come before I have to decide on a school. But I am an international so its different for me</p>
<p>i got my official letter yesterday! i’m an international too but i live in the States.
they scanned the official letter and package and emailed to all the international students. so you should check your email!</p>
<p>My D received her official rejection letter from UVA today, and included in the letter was a suggestion she apply as a transfer student next year? Did everyone who was rejected receive such a letter? It struck me as very odd that they would suggest a transfer after a year somewhere else. Do they really have that many open spaces after freshman year? My assumption would be their retention rate would be pretty high.</p>
<p>oldladymom, UVa accepts several hundred transfer students every year. While it is a fantastic institution, it’s not for everyone, and sometimes students can’t handle the cost, academic rigor, or it just isn’t the right environment for them. There are not a lot of available spaces, but I also don’t know how many people get letters suggesting they transfer.</p>
<p>Retention rates are very high (usually in the 90s). We build a certain number of transfers into the population.</p>
<p>I still haven’t gotten my letter in the mail!</p>
<p>^ me neither :(</p>
<p>My son got his denial letter on April 1:(</p>
<p>My daughter also got a similar letter. Reading from notes from other students at USC, similar letters wer also given out to them. What does it mean? How early can one transfer to U.Va.?</p>
<p>Still no letter ?! :(</p>
<p>I still haven’t received my package either… it’s been pretty long.
p.s. I know I live in Canada, but it’s just across the border, right?</p>
<p>I am interested to know what everyone likes most about UVA…students, parents, or
prospective parents. Also, maybe what you do not like.</p>
<p>^ start a new thread and you will get more responses! :)</p>
<p>Those of you concerned about the formal letter should call the office and talk to the receptionists. I can’t do anything via College Confidential about this. Sorry!</p>
<p>I got a letter a week ago 
a little disappointed that UVa doesn’t send a ‘packet,’ :D</p>
<p>

<p>There is another explanation for the large number of transfer students: Those students’ SAT scores are not included in the statistics for the freshman class. If there is an appicant who has a 1200 SAT, say, accepting him as a freshman lowers the official average SAT score whereas accepting him as a transfer does not. Some schools guarantee the right to transfer under certain conditons.</p>
<p>You need to contact the Office of Admission. Posting here, unfortunately, won’t get a letter sent. The email address is on the bottom of every page of the Office of Admission website.</p>
