Official UVA Transfer Thread Fall 2010

<p>Is there any difference between a green check and a green circle on SIS?</p>

<p>I was told no. They said people like to read into things like that before the decisions are posted. As long as you have a green circle or a check mark you are good to go. However, on decision day you should see the green check mark.</p>

<p>Is it worth sending in a letter telling them of summer programs I’ve been accepted to. If the summer program is a part of UVa, would they already know?</p>

<p>Does anyone know if there’s a transfer thread from last year so we can get a better idea of when they start notifying people?</p>

<p>I don’t think the dates would be the same but you can check here: [Transferring</a> to UVA](<a href=“Transferring to UVA”>Transferring to UVA)</p>

<p>RVAfistcity- i wouldnt bother telling them, i would think if its with UVA they would know</p>

<p>do all students who are attempting to transfer receive the decision on may 1st, or is that when they simply begin letting some students know? I have other colleges breathing down my neck which shouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing but still, it gets annoying.</p>

<p>basically, may 1st at 5:00 pm, you can log onto SIS and see your decision. the letters will be sent out that day or maybe 1 day before, but you wont get it before may 1st. some schools release early but UVA does not. May 1st 5:00 pm. thats when you’ll find out</p>

<p>16 days!</p>

<p>UVa e-mailed me asking me to submit copies of my parents’ 1040s by May 13th, 2010. Does that mean anything at all?.. No, I’m guessing?..</p>

<p>Does anyone know if second semester grade affect decisions much for transfers? Can they reject me after accepting me?</p>

<p>Also, sorry for being a worrywort, but how are my chances for the school of engineering?</p>

<p>4.0 first semester of college at VCU
3.75 weighted GPA, 3.6 unweighted in high school (my school adds .5 per AP class), 8 AP classes total
Co-Pres of the environmental club back in high school
technical theater for three years in high school
SATs (aggregate of best scores): 800 crit reading, 780 math, 590 writing (but I got a 4 on the AP english test, strangely enough)
Vietnamese-American</p>

<p>Only about 2 weeks left!</p>

<p>re:1040s - I think Fin Aid would just want to have all your info. I’ve read previously that the award packages come out shortly after the decisions are released.</p>

<p>@ pinknebula:</p>

<p>I e-mailed them about it (I turned in the 1040s over a month ago), and they e-mailed me back saying it was an error…
Very prompt reply. I like.</p>

<p>2 more weeks!! Where else are you all waiting to hear from?</p>

<p>apparently i have a checked mark on my application, but my sat scores are still on the to do list. anyone else in this situation?</p>

<p>zdnomsed,</p>

<p>same here. But I am an international student and am not required to submit sat/act.</p>

<p>eriche, i thought that SAT scores were required for all transfers. so internationals are waived from submitting SATs?</p>

<p>yes, as long as you have TOEFL/IELTS.</p>

<p>@ nicolemae…regarding your question “UVa e-mailed me asking me to submit copies of my parents’ 1040s by May 13th, 2010. Does that mean anything at all?”</p>

<p>YES it DOES!!..it means that UVA wants copies of your parent’s 1040’s by May 13, 2010 !!</p>
