<p>Any word from UVA?</p>
<p>nothing here. I've seen one poster on this board who got off from the waitlist. And the visting admissions officer said very, very, very few have been admitted (add another very). Depressing.</p>
<p>I heard from UVA last week. Don't lose your hope--You still have until the end of June. Good luck!</p>
<p>are u gonna go hairypotty?</p>
<p>I don't know yet. I'll visit W&M this Friday, and if I don't feel right, then I'll go to UVA. I already visited UVA so many times.</p>
<p>How were you notified? Did you get a phone call or the mail?</p>
<p>My friend got a letter yesterday and she's off the waitlist. =)</p>
<p>Hairypotty, did you send anything to UVA?</p>
<p>No, I didn't.</p>
<p>someone with a terrible class rank got off the waitlist in my area. how many people do you think they are going to take off?</p>
<p>I got off the waitlist, as a 1st year transfer student. I found out yesterday</p>
<p>Do you think they are still accepting people off the wait list?</p>
<p>I think so. The waitlist closes at the end of June.</p>
<p>I'm sheflowers' friend :-D No, I didn't send anything to UVA, although I was planning to send something . . . I definitely wish that I had just gotten in regular decision, as it would've made my life a lot easier.</p>
<p>Yeah, no kidding. I already wasted $400 on Tech...</p>
<p>when you guys say you wish you would have sent something to UVA (if you got waitlisted), what would you have sent? and to whom?</p>
<p>I would've sent the Dean of Admissions a letter explaining why I should be offered admission, an updated resume (leadership activities, extra classes, volunteer work, sports, awards, etc), and letters of recommendation from my IB bio teacher, (who's teaching me for the second year and who also sponsors Science honor society, of which I'm an officer of) and/or the Head Start teacher that I work with (I've mentored her pre-kindergarten students at my old elementary school for the past three years for the Interact club, which I'm also an officer of). They had both written very nice recs for me for scholarships in the past few months, as opposed to the very broad rec I had gotten from another teacher, who ended up forgetting to send to UVA anyway back in January :) </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
