UVA Fall 2018 Transfer Thread

hi guys this is my first time posting!
Feeling anxious and just wanna prepare myself the day before… So please chance me if you can! (I know it’s super last minute haha sorry!!)

I’m applying to CAS psychology major

Stats:

  • Rising 3rd year student (NVCC but considered as out of state)
  • 1/2 International student (moved to the US in junior year of high school)
  • College GPA: 3.36/4.00 (had a 2.8 the first year and brought it up)
  • High school GPA 3.2 (been to 3 different high schools due to moving, it is also extremely hard to get A’s in Asia)
  • Dean’s list x2 (Past two semesters, pretty sure I’ll have it this semester as well)
  • 1 letter of recommendation

EC:

  • Work about 25 hours a week since freshman year
  • Tutor middle school students math and science since freshman year
  • Volunteer for animal shelter
  • Varsity crew team, orchestra first chair, photographer for school magazine in high school
  • Volunteer at special education schools over the summer since junior year in HS
  • Volunteer at Church every weekend in junior and senior year

I speak both Chinese and English. Didn’t provide ACT or SAT since I took it right after I just moved here, I didn’t speak English at all. Another thing worth mention is probably that I only took ESL class for a year, after that I just picked up the language and started taking classes with all native speaker.

Thank you for reading!! Please reply if you can!!

When I applied last year as a incoming Freshman, I received an email saying that the decisions were now ready. So I don’t know if they will do the same for transfers. I guess if they didn’t send any emails, then it would add to the suspense lol.

@TheLastofUs9 “I’m just curious, is everybody able to order their transcript through the SIS portal (i got up until the address info, then just stopped)?”
I actually got all the way to the last page and could place an order. Are you able to get that far? Don’t think it means anything, but still worth trying out stuff.

@Vincent1997 yeah it means nothing

If I remember right from applying to colleges as a freshman schools will release the decisions on the portal at like 5ish then send an email about half an hour later telling you to check your portal

I wanna ask how many of you have some items on the “to do list”? Especially for those who are OOS? I still don’t have those items. I got both waitlisted and rejected from two other schools today, so I’m now getting upset…
Good luck everyone tmr!

@deliciousSteak I am out of state and I don’t have anything on my to-do list. However, I submitted literally every financial aid document before. Have you? You won’t have it if you have already submitted everything.

I would also assume you wouldn’t have anything if you didnt apply for financial aid, bc I did not and have nothing. Is anyone else in a similar position/

Omgggg who is ready to throw up from nervousness

@machlan I submitted Parent W-2 Form and Parent 1040 Form before, but I don’t think I submitted FA Application Certification (I think this one is downloaded from UVA’s own website? I saw people saying they have this item on their to do list)…

I thought I had a good chance tho. But now I just become very unsure of my decision.

How heavily weighted are essays

Sleeping with one of my UVA shirts on for good luck ^:)^

Ah the day of judgement has finally cometh.

We’re getting our decisions today! I am having major anxiety over here!

Wishing everyone the best of luck today! Let’s all hope for the best

And now we wait for that confirmation blog post! Fingers crossed we see the decisions we want tonight

Good luck to all of us today!! Remember to breathe && try to find something to distract yourselves for the day.

gonna feel like puking all day

I suggest a long nap, seeing a movie in a theatre, binge watching Netflix, and a trip to the DMV. All very time consuming
