Attempted to answer, but my comment was flagged for moderation because I linked to my instagram stories, where I’ve answered this in the two most recent q&a sessions. I also answered it on the admission blog.
We might work in our homes, but we only work ridiculous hours during reading season. We are back to traditional business hours.
Thanks so much for your response. I did see the business hours piece, but I wasn’t sure if the calls were made all at once (for example, at the end of the day) or interspersed throughout the day as spots opened up. Still crossing my fingers!
@“Dean J” Thank you for consistently monitoring and responding to all the comments for UVA threads and student inquiries; it has been a significant help during these uncharted times.
Kudos to the entire team! Thank you VERY MUCH! I know how hard it could be even during normal times (since I have closely observed some friends/family).
Accepted for transfer to CAS!
I got in off the waitlist! Out of state. No hooks (no legacy or anything). Arts and sciences. They called me and told me. They later emailed a decision update.
Undergraduate Admissions is not responded to my emails notifying them of new submissions that I have made to my portal. Does that mean that I have been waitlist denied?
This kind of email doesn’t really require for a reply, so please don’t read into things. We ask that you use the portal for updates. You don’t have to email to say that you did it.
did anyone get a call today instate CAS? i’m very worried that i am not going to get off the list because my stats are much lower than everyone else and 10 of my friends have already gotten calls.
@“Dean J” Hi Dean J! i am still a bit confused about the waitlist process and i have a lot of questions and was hoping you could help me out. how exactly does the committee choose which students to admit from the list? I understand that it is the same holistic review as all other applications and you pick based on what schools have space/ instate oos ratio, but isn’t everyone on the waitlist ‘qualified’ to be a uva student? so how do you pick which small group of qualified students among other qualified students on the CAS or E school waitlist to admit? is there any order in when/how you pick a student or an order for when you are rereading their application? I know that there have already been calls made and that you give those students a few days to think about the offer, but are more calls only made for a specific school if those students offered admission say no? Are you allowed to tell us numbers as to how many spaces are open or at least if there is a lot of space or a little space? specifically I am asking for the CAS, thank you!
Hey! Congrats on getting off the waitlist! How did you send your update? I have been trying to send an LOCI through the portal but after several hours it gets erased
I’ve covered most of this on the blog and in q&a sessions over the last few weeks.
The Dean identifies areas of the class (school/residency) where there is room. We reread the files in our regions that fit those categories. Anything new that has come in gets reviewed in addition to the original file and our notes from the various rounds. We send some names to the dean and they make some decisions about who will get an offer from the candidates we put forward. Then, certain members of our team get to make those calls.
The amount of data I give out sometimes makes people assume I’m at liberty to share everything, but I am not.
@jcasval02 I was wondering about that too. I uploaded a LOCI in early April but when I looked at the portal a couple weeks later it was gone and I thought maybe I just didn’t hit upload. I just reuploaded it and it’s gone again. I don’t want to be accidentally spamming the admissions office but I also want to make sure it was received…
I feel like at this point they aren’t making many more offers. This is sad because UVA has been my top since I was a kid, but I’ll consider transferring next year if I still feel the same way.
Same thing happened to my daughter too a month ago. But got confirmation that it is attached to her portal but just not accessible for us to view once it is uploaded.
