***University of Virginia RD Class of 2021 Discussion Thread***

“So tired, tired of waiting, tired of waiting for you…”
Two more schools for D to hear from and then a scramble for final re-visit to top picks before May1 deadlines. This new terrain of EA, ED, deferrals, to RD. So many kids already know and have their dorm mates all lined up. I’m trying to be empathetic toward the admissions officials at colleges these days -how to weed through the applicants make the right offers,anticipate acceptances,build the next clas? D deferred by several schools, including UVA, for which her stats (Solid GPA in tough curriculum,strong ACT, academic awards),EC’s (Girl Scout Silver & Gold, 1st kid at her school to do VASTS program with NASA, + more…), gorgeous 100% self inspired & written essay - all that supposedly should have put her on solid ground. I’m proud of the grace & resilience she’s exhibited through this senior year roller coaster.
Good luck to everybody!

Hoping the results come on this Friday…Any insider info from guys already attending

I got deferred EA. Hoping for the best and good luck to all.

@“Dean J” I know it’s a little late but I realized that I was posting on the wrong thread when I gave the date of April 1st. Sorry for the confusion guys. Hoping for this Friday!

@wahoogamecocks Are you in-state or oos, if you don’t mind my asking?

Decisions come out today!

@gizmo18 How do you know?

I’m not allowed to say who told me! But a mother of a friend works in a lower department of UVA admissions

She told be the day Early decisions came out too.

Hope it’s today gizmo…Thank u

As much as I am inclined to not believe anyone saying decisions are coming out today, @gizmo18 did actually call the EA date back in January. So, I guess I’ll just be cautiously optimistic

what time are we expecting then?

@tylerperez12 if @gizmo18 is right, we should expect 5-7 pm today est

@tylerperez12 she usually releases a blog post around 2 notifying the release and the decisions are usually posted around 5

@gizmo18 Thank you so much for the heads up!

PRAYING FOR EVERYONE! UVA is a reach for me but it is my dream! I wish the best luck to all of you brilliant applicants!!

@gizmo18 My day is now revolving around your tip! Best of luck everyone. WAHOOWA

Agh I’m so nervous. I got deferred EA (I’m guessing primarily because of my lackluster Junior year grades), but I managed to turn in a mid-year report of all A’s in a tough course schedule, so we’ll see if that made any difference.

To all of those who got deferred EA, here’s hoping for GOOD NEWS for you guys!!! Good luck! My son is looking forward just to finding out and making a DECISION! Its been a long senior year. :slight_smile:

My son is also deferred EA and it has been a long senior year (yes for the parents too )… although cannot imagine how tough it has been for all the seniors waiting on this and other decisions. If it is today (seriously, the sooner the better), wishing everyone good luck!
