<p>Are teacher recs required, and if so how many are? I checked the admissions website, and I know they ARE required for first-year applicants, but it doesn't seem to specify whether or not they are required for transfer students. If anyone could shed some light on this, that would be great. Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>I didn't have any when I transferred.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply wahoo. Just curious, what year were you when you applied, and did you apply to the school of commerce?</p>
<p>I applied at the end of my first year, and no I didn't apply to commerce.</p>
<p>what school did you transfer from Wahoo, and what were your stats??
(Just curious because I think i'm going to try and transfer.)
Thanks</p>
<p>Leah, where are you thinking about transferrring from, and to which school at UVA are you looking to transfer into?</p>
<p>I applied from VA Tech, I had a 4.0 first semester at VT (I think they only saw first semester), a 3.5ish unweighted 4.1 weighted in HS and a 1350 SAT. I was in-state and waitlisted when I applied in HS.</p>
<p>Wow, thats pretty solid. Do you know when the transfer app goes up? Also, what has your experience been like, as far as being a transfer, with regard to the adjustment and so forth?</p>
<p>Contact Dean Roberts and check. He told me when I transferred that, for me, recs were not necessary.</p>
<p>dfm, I'm applying from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I'm in-state virginia though. I applied this year to UVA and was waitlisted. :-(</p>
<p>I'm not exactly sure when the transfer app goes up, it isn't due for quite a while. </p>
<p>In terms of the adjustment, I did find UVa to be harder than Tech, they tell you that the average transfer GPA drops a full point when they come here. I don't think that's true, I did drop about half a point first semester here. There is some adjustment academically, but it isn't anything crazy. Socially, if you get involved in a couple of organizations you should have no trouble making friends.</p>
<p>Leah- do you know which school you are going to apply to?</p>
<p>wahoo- thats good to know and thanks for all the helpful information.</p>
<p>theslammer- did you apply for the school of commerce?</p>
<p>No comm school for me - I fall under the requisite 15 polo shirt mark. :)</p>
<p>comm school sucks</p>
<p>How so? (10 char)</p>
<p>I didn't have teacher recs either. I think UVA is understanding when it comes to transfers and teacher recs, because some students are in very large classes with a professor and only for a few months. It's hard to establish the sort of relationship with a college professor that you may have with a high school teacher.</p>
<p>Pizzelle, where did you apply from, what school in UVA did you apply for, and for what year did you apply?</p>
<p>I applied to Curry from the VCCS, so now I'm in the ed school and the College. I was accepted in the spring.</p>
<p>From where are you applying, and what are you interested in doing at UVA?</p>
<p>I'm at W&M right now, and am planning on applying for fall 2007 to the McIntire School of Commerce.</p>
<p>If you don't mind me asking what were your stats like?</p>
