UVA Fall 2016 Transfer Thread

Figured it out everybody :smiley:

At least partly and for the moment, that is.

This page “page=UVADDECN_1&” is, PERHAPS, the page that either is acceptance or just the page that says admissions are not available.

HOWEVER, changing the value to page=UVADDECN_2& gives the declination message:

The Committee on Admission has examined your application and carefully considered your academic, personal, and extracurricular credentials. We are sorry to inform you that we are unable to offer you admission for the fall 2016 transfer class. This was a particularly difficult year for our admission committee given that the quality of the applicant pool was exceptional, and admission was extremely competitive.We work very hard to ensure a fair and consistent review of all students who apply for admission. Our process is holistic, meaning that we consider many factors when evaluating each student. Great care and attention to detail is given to each student who applies to the University. Please know that these decisions are never easy, and we recognize and respect your accomplishments and talents. We appreciate your interest in the University of Virginia and wish you the best as you finalize your college plans.

HOWEVER (again), no other values yield results. There is no 3,4, etc. Only 1 and 2.

Will update later.

EDIT: Even though I am able to force this message to appear, my ID (we all have one) is still tied to UVADDECN_1. Again, I cannot say what this means until someone without the Accept Admission thing sends me a message and I tell them how to check their own code.

However, it does mean that the page (meaning the decision page) is tethered directly to individual ID’s.

@LaVolpe So since I’m not a computer whiz lol, are you basically saying that if the code “UVAADDECN_1” is linked to a possible acceptance? and if you have ‘2’ it is a decline letter? I have the 1 and pretty much everything else you posted in your last post.

If it’s any consolation, my friend who applied for spring 2016 admission had the “Accept Admission” tab and she was accepted to UVA; but who knows :-/

@UVAfan23 Well, it could be that the decision hasn’t been made. Or there’s a couple other possibles.

Only like two people have posted, so I can’t say. but having 2 is certainly the decline letter. That much is obvious.

And for the curious, yes that is the same letter as last year and I’m sure every other year.

@LaVolpe I feel like all decisions haven’t been made. I received the check mark like maybe 3.5 weeks after I turned in all my materials. But I just submitted my mid-term grades so idk if decisions could be changed, which would lead me to believe it’s all just a default setting what we are viewing. Who knows!

How did you change it to view the decline letter? I couldn’t manage to do that. I tried to edit the code and changed it but it didn’t appear.

If that link gives you the “Admission decisions not available blah blah blah” then just change the 1 to a 2.

Folks, we don’t read files in the SIS system. Like most paperless schools, we have a separate system for reading and making decisions. At the end, the decisions get loaded into SIS and turned on.

We aren’t done. It’s only been a month since the deadline and we have a lot of reading to do. Hang in there.

@LaVolpe I don’t have an accept admission or view decision.

@LaVolpe wait I just remembered, didn’t you apply last year? You don’t remember what you saw on your tab when you clicked “View Decision”???

Don’t worry.Me neither.

@UVAfan23 I could/should go check last year’s thread, but no I don’t remember. A lot has happened between now and then haha.

Edit: Just went back, looks like I didn’t even get my check until the April 24th (lol), so I may have never even checked last time.

@206fall2016 Don’t worry about it, the check itself doesn’t mean anything really.

@LaVolpe oh okay. I was hoping you’d have remembered from last year lol.

Also, I did what you told me to do with the link and changed it to 2 and showed the decline letter, but the tab still said “Accept Admission” so I’m gonna assume it’s nothing significant :confused:

@UVAfan23 The tab won’t change because you’re not on a “real” page. That’s why your ID is tethered to the decision 1 but can force this one to show.

Also why it’s not even formatted, because you’re not supposed to be able to get to it lol

Hey guys - I have a couple questions:

  1. I know that UVa says decisions come out on May 1, but when do they usually come out? I heard that they typically come out the Friday before May 1. Does anyone have an educated guess?

  2. What time of day do decisions come out? 4 PM? 5 PM?

  3. Do we get an e-mail telling us decisions are available, or should we just keep checking SIS?

Thanks everyone.

Hey , so looking at past discussions it seems they come out exactly May 1st at 5pm. It is stressful making decions and they have to read thousands of applications so it is difficult to get it out earlier I can imagine. Hang in there! I’m so nervous it’s ridiculous! (: @indigoiguana

Thanks @Edu_rms!

i read in the past posts that some people actually did get to see their decisions around april 27th…? IDK but let’s hope we get to see ours soon!

I actually hope we don’t get to see them till after finals. I don’t wanna be down in the dumps while studying for finals haha.

aww you got to keep your head up tho! i’m pretty sure your chances are just as good as everyone’s on here :slight_smile:

What is everyone’s stats @UVAfan23 @snp2896
