<p>From reading last years thread, the green check is a good indicator of acceptance. Last year, transfermer said that a green check meant that a decision was made while a green circle meant that they needed more reviewing on your file.</p>
<p>I applied on the date of the deadline and have received a check. OOS student from new york</p>
<p>@iditoy, i hope so. but then again i feel like it could just as easily be an indicator of rejection. by the way, what are yall’s stats? i posted this before but didnt get a response.
My first semester grades have me worried (C, C+, B-, B, B, B+). i hope they consider that i took a difficult course load, and Wake Forest is pretty bad with grade deflation. my college EC’s include working 8+ hours a week, volunteering 20 hours over Christmas break, intramural soccer, and RUF.
My HS GPA weighted was like 3.9, but on virginia’s grading scale it would have been over a 4. HS EC’s include state champion with varsity soccer, state runners up with club soccer, national honor society, french national honor society, and doing research in a lab at a hospital the summer before senior year. My SAT was a 1340/2040, and i’m also an URM (both parents from Africa) if that makes a difference. OOS as well.</p>
<p>“I can see that there’s been a lot of paranoia and confusion about your SIS accounts. Let’s all take a breath. Being April and all, we are reading applications and making decisions on them, but current decisions will not be final until May 1. Final decisions are not being made at this time. I should add that we do not have rolling admission. All decisions will be released at one time. A green circle and a green check are good for application material submission purposes. What I mean by this is, your application is complete and we can review it. Once again, mid-year reports are not required. Receipt of this on our end does not impact the green circle or green check. I repeat. The green circle and green check have nothing to do with your decision of admit, deny or waitlist. Thanks for your patience all!

<p>[Transferring</a> to UVA: Green](<a href=“http://uvatransferadmission.blogspot.com/2012/04/green.html]Transferring”>Transferring to UVA: Green)</p>
<p>UVA official explanation</p>
<p>I also have a check…had it for the longest time, probably since mid-March. I submitted all my app and documents on Mar 1st. Apparently the check probably doesn’t mean anything except for the fact that a decision has been made on your application, whether its an acceptance or denial. However, if anyone gets something on their “To Do” list, regarding financial aid and such, its a really really good sign that you’ve gotten in from what i’ve read and heard in the past.</p>
<p>does anyone have stuff under their to-do list?</p>
<p>CAn you guys look up university ID for UVA?</p>
<p>AFter log in SIS, On the left side, there is University ID look up section.
You put the sis id, birthday, and name.
AFter that, you guys see 9 different digits than sis ID?</p>
<p>Just wondering what that mean…</p>
<p>So nervous</p>
<p>I can. dont think that means anything. I have a green check but somebody else with a green circle could as well</p>
<p>@Ronaldinho, I have additional stuff under my financial aid to-do-list. If I’m not mistaken, it was just added earlier this week (Monday). </p>
<p>Also, I got an email from the UVA Student Financial Services earlier this week as well. The email basically served to notify me that an item was added to my To Do List regarding my application for need based financial aid. Under the description for the item on my To Do List, it reads: “This additional information is required for us to complete your financial aid award”. </p>
<p>Also, if it matters, I already submitted all the “required” documentation for need based and financial aid about a month ago (those that are explicitly stated on their website). In addition, I have a green check as well (I’ve had it there for quite a while - probably since about 2 to 3 weeks ago - even though I applied on the very last day they were accepting applications).</p>
<p>While it may just be wishful thinking, I’m taking this as a good sign. According to the UVA fall transfer thread from last year, nearly all applicants who had green checks and new items on their financial aid to-do list were admitted. One of my friends who transferred into McIntire last fall also had the green check and stuff under his financial aid to-do-list around this time of year as well. </p>
<p>Still, the sample size is way too small. Nevertheless, I hope this is a telling sign for good things to come!</p>
<p>Just a green circle currently, albeit I finished just a day earlier than the due date. </p>
<p>Also applying to Mcintire.</p>
<p>Can you guys log in to UVA collab? As a uva login. Not other login!?</p>
<p>@pzzia yes i can. could you not do that before?</p>
<p>i actually applied to UVA last year as a high school senior, and received the green check about two weeks after applying and was denied. i applied on the deadline this year and still have a green circle… so i’m hoping this is a good sign.</p>
<p>my feeling is the check doesnt mean accepted/rejection, just that theyve made their decision. transfer UVA, what were your stats, and did you apply IS or OOS?</p>
<p>@transferuva, did you have anything appear on your To Do List (specifically related to financial aid) after you had the green check when you applied last year?</p>
<p>@ronaldinho, I agree. I also feel the green checks alone shouldn’t mean anything. The checks indicate that they’ve probably made a decision - whether accept, deny or waitlist. Since there’s absolutely no way that the admissions counselors can make the decisions all at the same time, I feel like they’re just making the decisions on the completed files first - albeit tentatively - and then finalizing and releasing them all by May 1st (although the admissions office has a tendency of releasing decisions a few days earlier). </p>
<p>Having something on the financial aid To Do List after you receive the green check though, might be a good sign because they usually release decisions along with the financial aid awards (from reading the threads in the past, those who were waitlisted/rejected didn’t usually get asked to submit ADDITIONAL information for financial aid unless they were missing the REQUIRED materials).</p>
<p>@ilovekoreanfood…what exactly did they ask for? i already submitted 1040s and w2s…wondering what else they might be asking for. Also what are ur stats? have a good feeling u got in.</p>
<p>Welp I’m still freaking out. Yesterday April 6th, my SIS, my Applications section added the In-State Privilege section (this is ridiculously late yeah?) and then I noticed an added Advisor box that wasn’t there yet. Inside the Advisor box it says: “Program Advisor None Assigned”. I have a green Circle and I turned in financial aid and application and all that on time with a bit to spare. I can’t read any data correctly any more on previous years for transfers and the whole process is nerve-racking! But alas May 1st comes regardless of how comfortable I am. It will be either the third best day in my life (behind my firstborn’s birth and my marriage) or it will be a disappointing day of having to pick myself up and figure out the next path.</p>
<p>To my fellow UVA hopefuls:</p>
<p>This is my first post on college confidential. I tried avoiding analyzing the UVA SIS page symbols and the anxiety of waiting for a decision but it all finally got to me in recent days. </p>
<p>Here’s a summary of my situation:</p>
<p>1) Virginia Community College student with a GPA that is above 3.55 and 60 credits including Calc I, II, and III, Chemistry, a couple general engineering classes, and all of the required history and social science classes. Earned all A’s and B’s aside from one C in a history class I took a couple semesters ago.</p>
<p>2) Applied to the School of Engineering and Applied Science, indicated my first choice is Systems Engineering.</p>
<p>3) My green circle turned into a green check pretty early on, I’d guess about 3 weeks ago. I wonder if that’s a good thing, or if that means they viewed my app and quickly decided I’m a no-go. (…?)</p>
<p>4) Can’t remember when the “view decision” link appeared, but I’m estimating about 10 days ago.</p>
<p>5) I haven’t had any to-do’s, but my application was complete (nothing missing) and I submitted my FAFSA, CSS Profile, tax return, and W-2.</p>
<p>6) Last week I was accepted to Virginia Tech’s College of Engineering which was great news for me but I’m still hoping to go to UVA for a variety of reasons which don’t make sense to go into detail on here.</p>
<p>Questions:</p>
<p>1) From reading this thread and past year’s transfer threads, people seem to think there’s a correlation between having to-do’s on their SIS page and being accepted. Considering that my application was missing nothing and that I submitted all required financial aid documents, is there a reason why I would have any to-do’s?</p>
<p>2) For those of you who have received to-do’s, what types of things are they? For example, are they just asking for something such as a missing tax document? </p>
<p>3) Anyone else apply and get accepted to VT/VT engineering? Any clue of whether or not that is an indicator of my chances of acceptance to UVA’s SEAS?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for any feedback.</p>
<p>for what its worth, from what ive read admissions and financial aid are completely separate. So if financial aid hasnt contacted you and you think they should have, that doesnt necessarily have something to do with your admission decision.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t get my hopes up honestly. When I applied to Cornell last year, I remember getting an addition item on my to-do list just a few weeks before decisions were to be released. I was really excited because I thought that I had been accepted. Turns out it was a deny. Financial Aid and Admissions usually don’t work together.</p>
