<p>@Transferr159 Same thing happened to me, I applied to UVA, VT, and JMU, expecting to go to VT since I didn’t expect to get into UVA but got rejected by VT, but somehow got in to UVA. </p>

<p>@Transferr159‌ Congrats! I got denied from VT, too, but U.VA and W&M offer me a position on their waitlist :D.</p>

<p>@J0urn3y‌ do they really wait-list transfer students?? thats ridiculous to keep you waiting! I would be so frustrated… I hope you get in!</p>

<p>This is my second semester at NOVA and last semester, I took only 12 credits. I think they need to see how well I am doing first, so I’m not frustrated at all :D. On the contrary, I’m proud of myself. I took SAT without preparation because I didn’t plan to apply this year and guess what. My SAT is 1600 something. WashU in SL turned me down, and I thought no colleges would accept me >.<. </p>

<p>Has anyone gotten their acceptance letter in the mail</p>

<p>@Coleworld123‌ I received mine yesterday :)</p>

<p>If anyone’s looking to live in Bice send me a message. I’m looking to get out of my lease, you’ll be living with third years from what I know so they’ll get you up to speed. </p>

<p>yeah I got my acceptance letter like a few days ago. Is anyone looking into living in the IRC?</p>

<p>Any waitlisted folks on here?</p>

<p>@rjl757 Yep. The notification that shows up when you click yes you want to stay on the waitlist says we will hear back between third week of may and end of june. Third week of may has come and gone, so I’m wondering if anyone has heard back yet?</p>

<p>@go1fgirl‌ Probably few if any have heard back. I’m not feeling too good about my chances though, since McIntire takes so few off the waitlist </p>

<p>Sorry to hear that! I’m rooting for you, if it helps! The wait list is so stressful! :frowning: Especially because if we get in we have no idea what credits will transfer since we only have a few days to make a decision. The school I’m attending will accept almost all of my courses but I have no idea what UVA would do. While I desperately want to go, it would be very unfortunate to find out nothing transferred, especially since I would be an incoming 3rd year. Best of luck!</p>

<p>@go1fgirl‌ Thanks and good luck to you too! Fortunately I’ve already been accepted to USC so if UVA doesn’t work out I have a backup </p>

<p>Thanks! USC as in california or south carolina?? Either way congrats, that’s fantastic!!</p>

<p>@go1fgirl‌ California </p>

<p>And thanks again :slight_smile: </p>

<p>@rjl757‌ same here. USC accepted and UVA waitlisted. But I’m engineering major so maybe I’ll just give up on UVA and attend USC</p>
