<p>I'm planning on taking a history or science course at my local cc, which will satisfy a UVA requirement...I wrote that was planning to take one on my application.</p>

<p>Please chance me! Any yes or no would be helpful!</p>

<p>Apparently I am ridiculously desperate...</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty good chance, but UVA is ridiculously hard to get into especially this year. the bad economy means more people flooding public schools, etc. not to mention uva is a top 3 state school. but you seen very smart and have good stats, although your SATs are okay, but still low.</p>

<p>Thanks for the response! Yeah, it really is hard to get in, it’s just been my dream for so long, I’m hoping for some good news. :)</p>

<p>Don’t worry UVAhopeful08, it looks like you have fantastic chances.</p>

<p>I think you have a great chance of getting in. Here is one thing to keep in mind, UVA loves well rounded student. Not sure if you have been there or not, but the students are all very well rounded for the most part. If you have really good reasons of why you want to attend the school (essays) then that will of course help. Otherwise keep working hard, try to give them no other choice but to accept you (as close to a 4.0 as possible). Good luck.</p>

<p>Thanks! That helps ease my worrying a bit. :)</p>

<p>i also applied for transfer adimission to the university of virginia. But, i still didn’t receive any respond yet. did any of you already receive a decision lettler?</p>

<p>Do you think that means i probably get rejected by University of Virginia? Becasue i still have not got an decision from them yet?</p>

<p>Transfer decisions do not come out until May 1. Good luck!</p>

<p>Really? Are you sure?</p>

<p>Yes. I’m positive.</p>

<p>dude you really need to chill out. if you are that insecure in youself when your numbers are that great, I dont know how well you would do there anyway.</p>

<p>Has anyone received their decision yet?</p>

<p>UVA begins mailing our transfer decisions May 1st. Give it another two weeks.</p>

<p>I wish you the best of luck!! I have very similar stats to you and hope to transfer to UVA from JMU, so I sure am rooting for you!</p>

<p>Thank you so much! You too!</p>

<p>Can’t we check our decisions next Friday online?</p>
