Hi guys! If you are looking to transfer in 2022 to UVA for the fall, this is the thread you can post stuff in.

Hi! I don’t know if anyone will see this because this is for Fall '22, but there is no thread yet for that, so I am adding it here. Could someone tell me my chances of getting into UVA Fall '22 as a sophomore?

Current university: University of Richmond (private)
College GPA: 3.5
Credits done: About 40? including this semester
HS GPA: weighted 4.4
College extracurriculars:

  • Student government senator
  • Mock Trial and URichmond Mock trial is one of the best in the country so that’s something
  • Founded the school’s chapter for Amnesty International and am the lead student coordinator
    Other notable things:
  • Currently doing a virtual internship for pre-law
  • Have volunteered with local refugee community for 5 years now
  • Have worked at Starbucks for about 7 months now
    Recommendations: from a seminar professor who went to Harvard
    No SAT scores, and my reason for transferring is the fact that UVA has more resources available for pre-law students to get experience in the legal field than URichmond.

Also, I just thought I’d let you know of some useful things about UVA.

  • That SIS Message is Completely Unreliable (Based on results I’ve seen from other people)
  • Decisions are released all at once at the end of April (Usually around the 27th-30th)

HS GPA: Not very good, but since I have an associates degree, hopefully they’ll focus less on HS.
Current College: A Ny community college
Current College GPA: 3.85. I do have an associates with distinction and presidents list.
Intended Major: Commerce
Hooks: Talked about how I identify with the lgbtq+ community, and could bring my experiences to the UVA community. Idk if that’s a hook lol.
Essays: I would say my essays are pretty good, with my Business essay being my strongest.
ECs: Chief Officer of Alpha Beta Gamma(Business Honor Society). Member of Accounting Club. Also work 25 hours a week.

I’m definitely a bit worried since Business is so competitive and that I’m an out of state student. Do you think I have a chance?

Anybody know which day it usually comes out on and/or what time during the day it releases? I got finals 27/28/29 so having an idea of roughly when it might drop would be amazing given it being such a rough week.
Also another question, does going to a highly ranked college known for having rigorous courses improve your chances in any way?

I heard it may come out this friday
