UVA Fall 2017 Transfer Thread

Also, I would avoid Johnson, Malone, Weedon, or Lambeth housing. All of the locations are far from central grounds and quite secluded. It is much harder to integrate yourself into the UVa community when you live so far away.

65-70 percent internal acceptance. look at the pre-com blog it gives you actual numbers.

@onyvio where do most 2nd year students live if they stay on grounds

Is the housing application binding? So for instance, if you put down the deposit, and fill out the housing application, but decide to go to another school (don’t hear back until mid-June), is there a way to get out of that housing agreement?

My aid package was phenomenal. It far exceeded my expectations. SFS has, and has had, a ton of work to do preparing these awards, however, my request for W2s and 1040s was at the beginning of April, but there were a couple of other forms I needed to submit. I believe I sent my last form on April 26th and received my award on May 2nd. Just make sure you prioritize these forms, take the time to do them correctly so you don’t need to send them again, and you should get an award notification shortly.

@smlifdab i turned everything in ahead of time. they didn’t register my parent’s w-2 until later because it was sent in a picture format at first but everything else was done before the deadline. I’m low income so I’m hoping SFS comes through.

@Victoria0805 there is a transfer facebook page so maybe you will find a roommate there.

Can someone post the link to the transfer FB page

@onyvio Hi, I am in waitlist this year and can you tell me how did you get off the waitlist? Thank you very much!

Thank you @Collegehelp4us for the reply, but could not find it. Also, @onyvio I am female so would not be able to get the spot, but how’s the Irc? Is it good for transfer students?

@Victoria0805 hey! I’m trying to find a roommate and I’m a female too. I’m thinking about the IRC! I heard it’s really cool and closer to most buildings.

@hopefulinlife I live in Lambeth right now. IRC is a tiny bit closer to some academic buildings, but equally further away from Barracks road shopping center. If you look at a map, they’re both right off Emmet street IRC is just a bit further north if I’m not mistaken.

@onyvio what did you do to get off the waitlist?

Did any nursing transfer get in or are on the waitlist? What are your stats???

Hey everyone, thought I’d contribute to this thread for everyone here/future applicants. I was accepted to CAS (applied for Cognitive Science) and here are some quick stats:

Gender: Female
Race: Black
College GPA: 4.0
Credits: 60 with Associates Degree
Recommendations: didn’t submit any
EC’s: Co-owner of a small business, worked as a salon coordinator for several years
Location: In-state, from a CC
Languages: English, Norwegian, Spanish, Korean
Essays: thought I did pretty well, wrote about pizza as the thing I’d use to represent the human race to aliens, also wrote about my passion for transhumanism/cognitive science/artificial intelligence

I was pretty nervous about getting in without submitting letters of rec, good thing they don’t require any for transfers. Not to mention I actually applied after the final deadline when I realized that the application was still open in the Common App (I’m not good with deadlines at all). Needless to say I’m very happy! Good luck to everyone here!

Hello! I have a spot in Lambeth I’m looking to give up! Message me if you are interested and I will give you my number. Looking for a girl to take over my spot. There’s 4 other wonderful girls already living there too!

@Sam998 Hey, so I have applied for housing, where do we put the roommate’s name?

Hi! Is it a single or double room in Lambeth @uvastudent2020

@uvastudent2020 If you know any males looking to get out of a room at Lambe
