Just got off the phone with them. There is a form at this site. that is under the 2021-2022 tab. This is about the only thing you can do right now is what they told me. If you call them you will probably have to wait on hold for a bit but they can confirm that it’s there and send you a link with more information once it’s done. It sounds like filling out this form will really just give them a picture of whether they think you should get more money at all. The page I linked walks through it well.
Mine is gone too. I applied RD
Did you run UVA’s net price calculator? If so, how does that estimate compare to your FA package? UVA uses the information from CSS Profile to calculate (based on their proprietary formula) each family’s contribution.
Some things that might lead to a higher contribution on CSS (as compared to FAFSA) would include divorced/remarried parents, those who own their own business, and/or those who own real estate beyond a primary home.
When does RD come out
I don’t have any insider info, but for what it’s worth, the RD decisions last year came out at 5:00 pm on Wednesday, March 18. Reference the UVA Class of 2024 archived thread for more details.
False alarm. The transcript was wrong but supposedly the grades that went to the school through Naviance were correct…
My daughter was Deferred ED and you had to say you wanted to be considered in RD.
Do we have any educated guesses when we will hear RD?
There’s a whole Regular Decision thread. On it, FWIW a kind poster, @20172021, put this out there about 5 days ago.

Thank you
I posted separately about this, but in the event it doesn’t reach many people, can anyone give any perspective/experience on UVA for OOS kids? Thank you!
4-5 years ago, UVA - while extremely competitive - was nothing like it is today - for OSS its practically Ivy difficult to get in…we knew kids who were extremely smart back then, but not elite academically and got in with very good, but not top 5-10% in class…My OSS D was deferred this year (so waiting on RD tomorrow?) with 4/4.8 and 1490 SAT (790 math) tons of APs, EC,s etc - top top high school… you can see in the ED/EA strings that kids with even better scores not getting in – not trying to scare, but OSS seems like a 7-8% acceptance rate out of this RD pool coming up at best - and this includes strong ED candidates who got deferred (and that UVA knows will go there likely if accepted) – so shall see – as I’m sure you have read – all of the selective/upper tier colleges received anywhere from 20% to 100% (Colgate) increase in applications - given the test score optional - a ton of kids (and righfully so) are trying to see if they can get in when normally their SAT/ACT scores would fall short…

Thank you. This year has been a real crapshoot with admissions for students across the board. I’ve been following some of the admissions results and it’s definitely been very competitive. Good luck to yours in RD!
I am wondering, specifically, whether out-of-state students who attend UVA feel out of place among the large, instate population of students. I haven’t yet heard this re: UVA, but I’ve heard it about other schools, so that’s why I’m exploring. Thank you!
I get ya, OOS daughter deferred EA, 1510 SAT, 99 avg, 8AP’s, six-year varsity swimmer, lifeguard, swim teacher, tutor, good EC’s, and volunteering. Still holding out hope for RD. Do you know in the RD round, is any priority given to ED and EA who were deferred? or everyone is in the same boat?
I get this and feel the pain of a lot of parents. My son is a high stat kid top of his class OOS but no one gets in to UVA from our school, or maybe 1 a year if that. He was deferred from his ED school, then accepted at some likely schools, a waitlist at UNC then a surprise acceptance at UVA. It was a good feeling for him based on how things have been going. Since the acceptance at UVA he has been waitlisted at 2 more schools. He has yet to be rejected so every time a waitlist comes we are sort of laughing but at the same time a rejection would provide some closure. It’s a rough year for some of these kids. I’m happy he has some excellent choices with UVA and a few others and we’re finally going to have the chance to visit next week. But definitely a rough year.
I have seen some of the same students accepted at the same 5 or 6 schools and I supposed for my son and others on waitlists that’s a good thing because those kids cannot take all 5 of those spots, so that will potentially be where slots start to open if schools do plan to use their waitlists and under accepted high stats students, which I think is more likely, to protect their yields.

My understanding is that once in the RD pool its all on equal footing - except I have to think that deferred ED applicants who are super strong may have an edge given the school will have higher degree of confidence that the applicant will go to UVA (i.e. - if they were ED, they were committed if accepted)

Somewhere around 30 percent of students at UVA are OOS so they are a minority but a large minority.

Agree with VirginiaBelle - OOS is a large minority. Also, Virginia has quite a mix of cultures, esp from well represented Northern VA and loads of military families who have lived in other places around the US and the world. I think you’ll find that you might not easily tell who is in-state vs OOS. (Unless you say “pop” instead of “soda”. LOL!)
