Wait List?!

<p>hi, im an international student who currently studying in NY.</p>

<p>I checked my status and I didn't get accepted, nor rejected.
It says "wait list".
well, I know what that is, but, my question is...</p>

<p>when do they notify those who are on wait list that they are accepted?
Im kind of anxious about it, just because I do know that we have to confirm other colleges' offer by MAY 1.</p>

<p>and. what if I confirm other college's offer and later , I have acceptence from UVA?</p>

<p>by the way,
congratulations for all of those who got in UVA 2012.</p>

<p>Here's a thread about the UVA Waitlist last year. It gives some insight into timing and chances, though I personally think that the WL this year will play a pivotal role in admissions to UVA. I really do believe that there is room for optimism, since UVA has done away with early decision, they have to play it safe, number wise, by using the WL in a very different fashion than they have in the past.
I was not in a WL situation last year, but I do remember people at my HS receiving invites of admission from various schools in early to mid-May.</p>
