UVA Fall 2016 Transfer Thread

We’re expecting/hoping decisions will be released around 4:30 PM, right? I checked last year’s thread, and that’s when things seemed to be happening. I’m counting on this week to fly by, and then I’m hoping for news on Friday. They don’t e-mail us, right?

Who wants to bet their admission that admissions will get released Friday?

I hope so !

Earlier than Friday I hope :))

@SamoyedScience I mean you can always find people at a school that think it’s the greatest place on Earth.

Personally, I’m considering leaving W&M and just applying to spring/fall transfer admissions else where until I get in somewhere else. In essence, I’d pretty much rather not attend college than return in the Fall. Owell.

Ahhh I’m just so ready to hear back from UVa.

I’m not ready to hear from UVA. I’ve never been so scared. This can make me or break me. Just hope that LaVolope link was really accurate.

@Edu_rms Here’s how I see it: if you look at this decision as though it’ll make or break you, then if you get in, you’ll still feel as weak as you felt before decisions came out. UVa is my first choice by a mile, but I’d like to think that, in preparing to apply, I also became the type of person who is going to be okay whether I get in or not.

That’s just my two-cents, and I don’t mean to take away from your feelings at all. I know this can be a stressful time.

@indigoiguana I disagree. If I get it I’ll be bouncing around walls

Well guys one last week!

@Edu_rms the wait feels killer. Fortunately I don’t have that much going on with finals otherwise I’d lose my mind haha. Just gonna watch a lot of TV and hit the gym daily & hope the time passes by. Can’t help but notice how remarkably similar our situations are. If I don’t get in, I can’t continue school next semester lol. Best of luck

@backinthehunt It is so hard to wait.I literally go on sis, myuva, and college confidential twenty million times a day! I have a really strong gut feeling I did not get in but the link Lavolpe put up I had an acceptance letter. Just keep praying I can get in because I know that is where I belong. Lol I think I am gonna have mini strokes from here till the first of May. Good luck!

@Edu_rms what were your stats?

@uctransfer2016

High School
3.6 GPA

Soccer
Band (1st chair)

Shadow oncologist at St.Jude’s Miracle Hospital

My personal essay is about how I started college at fourteen and my main goal is to become a pediatric oncologist. It also states how I have been shadowing some of the top doctors in VA, PA, and MD. Lastly, it states that getting into a University will expand my knowledge so that I can provide a better quality of life when I become an oncologist.

@Edu_rms your stats are actually pretty good! The only draw back I can see is your SAT score but that doesn’t matter nearly as much for transfers as it does for first-year applicants. Did you apply as a 2nd or 3rd year?

@Edu_rms yea I think you should be good, your ecs are really good and your gpa is right above the average admit gpa

@Edu_rms We’re rooting for you!

I am transferring as a third year. Going to be really weird because I feel like everyone is going to be 20 soon and I am gonna be the only person who literally just turned 19. There are so much wonderful people on here and hope you guy as well as me get in. Transfers are gonna rock UVA if we get in haha. Good luck guys! @indigoiguana @uctransfer2016 @SamoyedScience

@Edu_rms I’m gonna be a third year and I’m only 19 also! And yea transfers kill it

@uctransfer2016 Did you get an acceptance letter from that link?
