<p>That should definitely do the trick!</p>
<p>What will you people do if you are rejected by UVa?</p>
<p>Hey Katt,</p>
<p>I don't know, I'm on edge just like everyone else here. There is more money available for third years. Student loans double. Beyond that, who knows what makes a successful transfer student?</p>
<p>Try not to be too hard on yourself about your essay(s). We're our own worst critics. As they recommended, I took a risk with my essay in an attempt to get my voice to come through. I know I made a minor mistake or two. I'm hoping they'll notice my voice, style, and content over the minor mistakes.</p>
<p>I agree, I'd wait to ask Mr. Roberts about EC's until after the decisions are made. I'd only contact him now if the issue was of a critical nature.</p>
<p>"Have you been talking, or working with anyone from the A-school? Just wondering if there's a way for you to become more than just an "applicant." "</p>
<p>Could you explain specifically what you mean by this? To answer your question, No I haven't done anything outside of applying. I guess I just figured your stats and essays are what they are and anything beyond that is pointless. I have no idea though...do they like applicants to "get involved" or anything like that?</p>
<p>Buckeye,</p>
<p>Considering how competitive the A-school is, 7 offers last year, it might help to somehow network the profs over there. Get them to know your name, make a visit, and have someone looking for you app. Differentiate yourself from your competition.</p>
<p>I probably should've done something along those lines, but it's too late now. Now I can only hope that the addmissions officers do not take visits, calls, and things of that nature into as much consideration as the actual numbers (but im realistic...they're human and probably prefer a little "brown-nosing").</p>
<p>Try not to think of it as "brown-nosing." Think of it as going after something you really, really want. </p>
<p>Even without a college degree, I've networked myself into 6 figure incomes. Networking is the best tool out there to get something you really want. Although, I learned that money can't buy happiness and I wasn't happy with the job. I couldn't get promoted to management w/o the degree. So, here I am...</p>
<p>i am applying as a freshman to uva this year. i have a question for you all. if i dont get in this year , i am worried that i will get too attached to vtech if i go there and i wont feel like transfering to uva next year. therefore, i am considering going to vcu (which i probably wont like). or am i overestimating how much i will get "attached" to the community.</p>
<p>for those who are transferring after second year, why are u transferring?</p>
<p>If you're already thinking of transferring if you don't get in, I would think you would do it during your freshman year in college, not your sophomore year. I can't really speak for those transferring after their second year, but I imagine they all have different reasons, i.e. majors are stronger in that particular school, finances, etc., etc.</p>
<p>If I don't get into UVA...I'm just gonna suck it up and be happy at William & Mary :)</p>
<p>Crichessil, what's wrong with going to V-tech and liking it? Not going to a place because you're afraid of not liking it doesn't make too much sense?</p>
<p>at this point, i am just really keen on going to uva. thats why i am not very open minded on other colleges . who knows? maybe i wont transfer next year if i go to tech</p>
<p>Tech is a great school, especially for engineering and agriculture. I applied there for transfer, along with JMU, but for poli-sci. I have a lot of friends at all 3 schools, so I think I'd be happy with getting into any of them. But, like you, UVa is my first choice.</p>
