LOL OOS as well! So we all understand that struggle
I am from Virginia:) and does anyone have any idea if the decisions will be posted this friday
I’ve literally told all of my friends at school about 6 times that results might be coming on Friday because I’m so freaked.
They’re getting annoyed…
i just wish they would give us a hint :-/
Missouri!
I’m excited to see if they come out soon. I have my Jefferson Scholar interview on 1/30, so it would be great to know going in.
Colorado here. Jeff interview 1/30.
Aren’t Jeff Scholars pretty much in, its some form of likely letter, isn’t it?
@dudefromnowhere Not necessarily. To quote from an email we received yesterday, actually:
At this stage, being nominated as a Jefferson Scholar only means that the staff/counselors at your high school think you’re the best (or most interested) candidate, and that you submitted the necessary essays. Granted, those candidates tend to be very qualified for UVA in general. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean admission is guaranteed.
@nerdman32 I think it’s best to check the UVA Admissions blog as we get closer to Friday.
With a monster winter storm supposed to hit Virginia, including central Virginia, don’t be surprised if decisions do not come out this Friday.
If the storm is as big as they are predicting, it will take a few days next week to dig out. Virginia is not as good at cleaning the roads like Northern areas. So, maybe they are trying to finish up this week before the storm comes.
Alternatively–the storm doesn’t start until Friday afternoon–Wouldn’t it be nice for admissions officers(and their pets) to be done with the process and be able to enjoy the winter wonderland with no worries?
Dean J wrote on her blog today (yesterday?) that the admissions staff often work from home during application season. I don’t think the snow will have an impact on electronic notification of results unless Charlottesville loses power. The bottom line is we’ll know when the decisions are coming down when Dean J tells us on her blog and it will be in the month of January!
rumors have been floating around that they come out today
@nerdman32 Ha, way to fan the flames of speculation. This should throw this thread into a tizzy – whatever a tizzy is.
I’m hoping they come out today. But its most likely tomorrow or next Friday smh
@dudefromnowhere I know a girl nominated for Jefferson and didn’t get in who was in-state.
Does anyone know what time Dean J would post on the blog about decisions being released (if it is today or tomorrow)?
@collegebound1915 It has been usually before 3 pm in previous years.
Last year it was around 2pm I believe. Decisions seem to have come out on Fridays for the past 3 or 4 years. Not sure if it’s always a guaranteed Friday-no one really knows until UVA releases some kind of official statement! I know the wait is long but it’ll all be over soon…
