UVA Fall 2017 Transfer Thread

Does anyone want to chance me for SEAS?

In state engineering student
HS GPA: 3.8

College GPA: 3.92
Completed 48 credits
Involved in several on-campus organizations
I believe I have fairly good essays
1 recommendation from a math teacher
Taking a tough course load and not sure whether or not to send midterm report, probably would be around a 3.5 or 3.6

@vt123432 Are you applying as a freshman at your current college?

No, I am currently a sophomore @viewsfromthe6

Hi guys! I’m so glad I found this. I’m applying as a second year transfer from a VCCS. My stats:

HS GPA: 3.6, was enrolled full-time in college for my junior and senior years
College GPA: 3.5 with 69 credits (will likely end the semester with a 3.75)
Applying for: Arts and Sciences
Essays: Questionable. Not my best work, not my worst.

Recommendations: 3
Extracurriculars: three ongoing volunteer projects, one leadership position in marketing, one political activism volunteer project (last fall), NHS for 11th and 12th grade, and my job (I work part-time and hold a leadership/trainer position)

Chance me if you so please!

Not entirely sure, I called the admissions office last week and they said it was completely optional. I’m just going to send mine in because I’m taking a few eight week courses that might boost my GPA.

I heard the most important thing is your essays and @vt123432 i think you have a good chance honestly!

Did you guys submit your recommendations through the CommonApp? Or did you mail/email them?

My teachers sent them to uvaapplicationinfo@virginia.edu

Mine were on common app

Did you guys log into your UVa SIS yet? I just checked mine, and it says application “incomplete” due to the fact that they have not yet received my transcripts, but I sent them several weeks ago.

call them! @dukesilverissaxy

I just did! They said that since I just submitted my app two days ago, it will take awhile for them to have all of my info in the system. They said it’s nothing to worry about!

I would like to know how to check what stuff they’ve received (so far) on SIS for one’s application. I understand there is a To-Do List but after it’s completed it disappears. It would be reassuring if there was a place to check exactly what they’ve received/what has been completed.

How do we login to SIS? I applied through the commonage and wasn’t given any information on that.

Hey everyone!

Was just wondering if any of you will be willing to speculate my chances.

Stats:
High School GPA of 3.67 with many AP courses taken, messed up big time freshman and sophomore year but got myself together by junior year and graduated senior year with a 4.64
Last semester I luckily ended with a 4.0 and after this semester, I will have 33 credits total.

Submitting my ACT (no writing) info:
English: 32
Math: 31
Reading: 28
Science: 31

I am currently in George Mason University’s engineering program for CE. I plan on transferring to UVA’s SEAS in CS.
I have two recommendations from my CS professor and Engineering professor from last semester.

Involvement only includes a few clubs atm.

Any and all speculation appreciated!

@va2pittsburgh You should get an email you used for the common application in a couple days.
@srkhan059 I think you have great chances!

@viewsfromthe6 Thank you!

I received an email from UVA with my SIS login info ~24 hours after applying.

Hey guys

I am applying to transfer to UVA as a sophomore. However, I noticed online a list of "transfer course requirements’ that included lots of classes I haven’t taken, like advanced math and science courses. I was wondering if any of you had noticed that list of transfer course requirements and what your thoughts are? Do you think not having taken the recommended courses will significantly hurt my chances?

About Me:

School - NYU
GPA - 3.675
HS GPA - 3.68 W (really difficult boarding school)
ACT - 33

Hey guys, I am also applying for transfer. Do you guys know when we have to send the mid term report in and how that works? Thanks.
