<p>If you were waitlisted at UVa or at any other school, I would truly recommend staying on at ONE school. Only accept a waitlist offer it that is your absolute first choice and you would be able to commit to it within a few days. If you do get that amazing call, you typically have a week or less to decide if you want the spot and if you would have to visit or do some research, staying on the list may not be a great call.</p>
<p>Good point^^^ stay on WL only if UVa is your number one choice. Taking up a WL spot, when you don’t really have the intention to accept an offer, wouldn’t be fair to those that want it more than anything. I see what you are saying.</p>
<p>i emailed UVA admissions to see why I had been waitlisted, but I never got a response. Is this normal? I have a feeling there may have been a misunderstanding on a certain part of the application that I hope did not lead to my being waitlisted.</p>
<p>It’s best to call to talk to a “decision dean.” Remember that our staff (which includes the person who answers all that email) is knee deep in the transfer application process right now.</p>
<p>Dean J - great info, thank you, my daughter has been waitlisted, and UVA continues to be her first choice by a wide margin. Is there any details or materials she or her counselor could provide the university between now and May 1?</p>
<p>I think the FAQs should cover things. I’d make sure updated grades are sent as soon as the 3rd quarter (or whatever marking period you have) is done.</p>
