UVA Fall 2016 Transfer Thread

Hey!

I couldn’t find a transfer thread, so I thought I would make one so we could suffer together. Who else is applying? I’m a 3rd year application to the McIntire School of Commerce from a VA CC.

3rd year applicant**, I can’t even type properly today…

Hi! I’m a 3rd year applicant to Arts and Sciences. I don’t know how I am gonna make it through the next two months.

@UVa2018 Yes!! Ugh… Are you an OOS transfer?

Hey there! I’m a second year applicant to the College of Arts and Sciences from a VA CC.

@ericashaaay Awesome, I wish us the best of luck :slight_smile: What major?

@Jouuuu I am in state from a Virginia community college. I like to think I have a pretty good chance but good lord my nerves drive me crazy.

@UVa2018 Did you look into the Guaranteed Agreement? Well, I guess it depends on your major. Which school did you end up going to by the way?

@Jouuuu I did check that out but I didn’t know about it until my second to last semester. The only thing I hadn’t fulfilled was the foreign language requirement but I have done all the other prerequisites and more so that’s part of my I feel good about my chances. I went to MECC which is in my hometown but I am so ready to move to a university.

I’m applying as a 3rd year! From TCC…super scared

Is it an issue that i haven’t received my account to check application materials etc.? I applied on 3/1, but i also did last year as a senior so i’m wondering if I have the same account?

Yeah I applied last year as a senior and I was wondering the same thing a few days ago. But on March 9th, I got an email from UVA and I realized that they just used my old account from last year for SIS/myUVa.

Well I’m pretty sure that’s the case.

How important is the mid-term report for UVA?

@eespos1 I don’t think they necessarily ask for it.

Does anyone still see their “official transcript” in the To-do list?

@Jouuuu Yep. I sent mine on the 22nd and it is still on my to do list. I assume it just takes them time to sort through them all.

@UVa2018 I just gave them a call to confirm they had received it. It appears that they haven’t gotten around to update all of our SIS profiles. I would imagine that’s the case for you too.

What are your stats? Im also applying to McIntire from a CC.

Hey, future Hoos’

I’m applying for fall 2016 transfer admission as well from a NVCC. Anyone here with horrible stats like myself? haha. I actually applied to UVA SON back in 2009 (less than a year after graduating high school) had a 1.7 GPA in high school (don’t judge me, bad times, bad decisions, personal issues at home) but got better in college, ended up with a 3.4 GPA my first semester and shockingly enough I got waitlisted. It’s incredible. I thought it was a mistake at first. I have always been a fairly good writer though. So maybe that’s what did it. I don’t know.

Unfortunately I did not make it off the waitlist because my spring grades were bad again, (was working full time, anxiety etc) bleh.

Anybody else with similar stories?

Best of luck, everyone! :slight_smile:

Good luck (: UVA is amazing! My cousins go the and to my family getting accepted is like winning the Super Bowl! I’m so nervous for decions!

@Blessed21 At a high-level:
3.8 GPA, 1250SAT, 3x scholarship/award recipient, PTK Officer, Full-time employee at a software company and a non-traditional student.

How about yourself?

Good luck dude!
