Three Part Harmony

Remember that in order to fully submit your application, you will need to submit three parts.
That's 1) The Basic App, 2) The Application Supplement and 3) $60 application fee. After all of that is submitted, you should receive and email from us (UVA) that includes information about your Student Information System Account.

Do we need to submit SAT/AP scores (separately through CollegeBoard) as well?

Krista said...

I sent in all three parts in january like pretty early. but i haven't recieved an email from UVA about the SIS account. Should i wait? I don't know who to email.

ZY said...

I have a question about the Supplement to the Common Application. I am an international transfer, do I need to fill out the Application For Virginia In-State Educational Privileges form?

Thank you!!

ZY said...

About the school form, does the Instructor Evaluation form need to be mailed by my instructor? or it is included in my supplement materials which will be sent by myself?

Thanks!

Ryan said...

If I'm transferring in as a third-year coming from a four-year university as a business major, should I apply to the School of Commerce? I'm not positive if all my credits will transfer so would it be smart to apply to the School of Arts and Sciences? Thanks.

Olive said...

What a lovely subject line for your post. Props to you Transfermer!

Transfermer said...

Hi Amanda, SAT scores can be sent 1) through the college board, 2) we’ll accept them if they are on your high school transcript, and 3) you can fax or emailed a scanned copy of the official score report

Krista,
You should check your spam folder and if you don’t see anything there, you can contact us at undergradadmission@virginia.edu

ZY,
No. You are an international student, so you can’t fill it out. Same goes for all other non-residents of Virginia. The instructor evaluation can be mailed by you (sealed in an envelope) or by your teacher.

Ryan,
Our only business program is in the McIntire School of Commerce. You might check to see if you have all of the requirements. These can be found on our transfer website. Four semesters of foreign language seems to be the biggest hang-up for applicants.

Thank you Olive!

Grace said...

Where can I find the teacher evaluation sheet? I didn't realize that I needed to do this.

Katie said...

Is it OK to either fax or scan and email a completed instructor evaluation

Isa F. said...

May I send the Instructor Evaluation Form after March 1st? Or is it due along with the application and supplement?

Transfermer said...

The instructor evaluation can be found under School Forms. That's on the left side of your Common Application. It is not required, only recommended. They can come in after the deadline, but because they are not required, we can't promise that the documents will make it to your file by the time we read your application. We'll accept these by email or fax, but would prefer the recommender to do this.

Our fax number is 434-924-7674 and our email address is undergradadmission@virginia.edu or uvaapplicationinfo@virginia.edu

Do the S.A.T. scores and transcripts have to reach UVa by March 1st?

Linda said...

Will the classes taken outside of UVA after I get the offer of admission for Fall2011 be still transferable (such as classes taken in this summer) towards my degree? If the answer is positive, is it always the case? Or it’s different for different schools & majors?

Randy said...

How will we know if our course descriptions were received?

Elodie said...

Hello! I am an international student planning to transfer to McIntire School of Commerce in Fall 2011. I am attending a 2-year college in California and I have completed my high school in my country in French. I know I fulfill the foreign language requirements for the University of California, but I was wondering if there was a way I could double-check that I meet the language requirement for UVA.
Thank you!!

RJ said...

I have not received my SIS account and sent in my application a week ago, when should I receive this?

Hopeful said...

I have a few questions, know that it is hectic right now for you, so will try to keep it short. I am at DCC currently, with a 3.45 gpa, hopefully at the end of this semester will be above 3.5. Will that hinder my chances? Also, my stepfather is an alum, but I don't live with him so couldn't honestly answer the question on the common application. He is writing me a recommendation though, is that something you would consider? Also, I am very interested in art. Even though I am applying for a computer science degree, should I submit an art supplement? Thanks!

Burte said...

I am an international transfer student and I can not find the school codes of my parents on the common application. What should I do?

Erika said...

Do the transcripts and SAT scores have to be at UVa by March 1st or can they be sent after?

Jennifer said...

Is it okay if college transcripts were sent today (March 1) and may not get to UVA on time? Would receiving my college transcript late jeopardize my chances of acceptance?

Worried said...

Hi, I sent my application the 18th but I just payed the app fee yesterday and did not receive my SIS. Should I be worried or it takes a day or two to process? thanks!

Transfermer said...

Anon, Erika, and Jennifer, I believe today’s post on March 1 will answer your questions.

Linda, there is a possibility of these credits transferring, but remember that we only transfer 60 credits into all schools except Engineering, where they accept more than 60 transferable credits.

Randy, we do not confirm this part of the application. If we are in need of them, we will contact you.

Elodie, in your specific case, you would have to take a placement test once you get here. At some point, you must show proficiency.

Hopeful, I can’t and will not chance people on the blog. We’ll look at all recommendations, but an alumni recommendation doesn’t sway us any more than a non-alumni recommendation. If you are interested in perhaps taking an art class or being mildly involved here at UVA, I would recommend that you submit a supplement.

Burte, I believe you can put in 000000 and this should solve your problem.

Worried, you should not be worried. You submitted all three application parts before the deadline.

Patrick said...

I graduated high school in 2000 and took the SATs in 1998, I am applying to the comm school. Do I need to have my SAT scores sent?

Anonymous said...

i sent my common app and supplement on time, but i forgot to make my payment until today. will that hurt me in any way?

Transfermer said...

Yes, you should send these Patrick. We will take into consideration how long ago they were taken.

Anon, as you might have found, you should be fine. I hope you made the payment.

May said...

If I am not a US citizen, but I am going to university in the US. Do I still need to submit the SAT if I want to apply to the McIntire as a sophomore or junior?
