Transfer Priority Deadline

<p>To my knowledge (from UVA CDS), it looks like this is the first year that UVA offers a February 1st "priority deadline" for transfers. Does anyone have any thoughts as to what any perks would be for it? I will be applying for February 1st regardless, and I have my own theories, but I want to see what anyone else thinks.</p>

<p>Seriously? Now that I think about it, I think I saw this somewhere. I would presume they might start reading them on Feb 1, but that doesnt make sense because I've never really heard of a school like UVa reading applications early. Maybe because its such a short turn around. I'm still gonna ask, does that mean we need EVERYTHING in for the to start reading?</p>

<p>Darn, i'll email them and get back to you. Maybe this is a good time to dig up that transfer thread.</p>

<p>Hmm....oops
"Where did you see this about a priority date for transfer? I'd like to check it out. It's probably listed so we can get things processed more quickly. March 1 is absolutely fine-no difference in review at all. In fact, we won't start reading until late March.
I hope this helps.

<p>I've never heard of this February 1st "priority deadline" and neither have my colleagues. We just found it on a calendar on the website, but it's not on the transfer page and it's most certainly not on the application.</p>

<p>thanks for the clear up =)</p>
