<p>Hi, I'm on UVA's waitlist and well it's the 25th and I still haven't heard.. is this normal at all or does that mean ive gotten rejected, any input would be helpful</p>
<p>You don't here anything from them until early through mid june but what have you done to try to get off the waitlist?</p>
<p>I got off the wait-list :) My letter was dated May 11, and I got it on May 13 (I live in Northern VA). It looks like hairypotter found out a few days before me, and jjbro found out a few days after me . . . so I dunno. Other people have said that they're still choosing people until the end of June. Have you done anything to get off the wait-list? (I didn't, but it might help for you.)</p>
<p>Kittytofu, like hairypotter said I think you were one of their first round picks for the waitlist. I have a feeling the reason why I was put on the waitlist was because of my test scores, and to see if I really had the desire to attend UVa. Last week, I just realized that I truly do want to attend this university because of their reputation, environment, and most of all their Japanse program. Congratulations again, for getting off the waitlist.</p>
<p>Yep, I've actually done a lot... Sent them a letter in the week after I found out, sent my reader an email telling them I'm still interested and asking them what I should do, sent my reader another email talking about recent honors and awards and all that, then I had a friend who knows the Dean of Admissions put in a call. I hope that works</p>
<p>how did you find out who your reader is?</p>
<p>my college counselor told me</p>
<p>We don't read by region, high school or major. Each folder is read at least two times and sometimes as many as 5-7 times. In cases when readers don't agree, the entire staff reads the application and votes (this is called "going to committee"). </p>
<p>The admission officers don't admit off the waitlist, the Dean of Admission does. Of course, we advocate for some of our favorites. :)</p>
<p>Thanks, for the useful information Dean J. I'll definately keep that in mind :D.</p>
