Offered Transfer Admission?

Every year, we create a forum for you to leave your comments in three different places. This streamlines the process in seeing comments and answering questions. Please be respectful of your fellow commenters and UVA. Per usual, I will delete any comments if necessary.

**Feel free to ask questions here if you’ve been offered admission.**

Your status page is self-explanatory. Just below your “letter” are buttons to accept or decline our offer to you. If you accept, you’ll then be instructed to pay the $400 deposit. Clicking only “YES” will not secure your spot in the class. You will need to pay as well. You can pay with a credit card(we don’t accept VISA) or with and e-check. You’ll have until May 15 to put down your deposit. If you decide not to come to UVA, please decline our offer in the same spot. This will help us in our next phase. I will address questions about housing, orientation, financial aid and credit evaluation next week.

Offer letters will go out Monday and Tuesday of next week.

    To everyone who was accepted, I can't wait to meet you all this fall! CONGRATS! :)

    I imagine this will get lost in the comments, but I had written a letter asking for consideration to the CAS if not offered a spot at McIntire. I got an acceptance letter, and no mention that it was to something other than McIntire, but also no explicit mention that it was McIntire. Any chance I could get clarification on this?

    Yeah I'm in the same boat, I applied to the Curry school for Communication Disorders and it didn't say anything in the letter about getting into that specific school, just general admission. Will we find out later about that?

    ReplyDelete
  32. kelsApril 29, 2011 at 6:49 PM

    im pretty sure if u got in it is because you got into the school that u applied to. for example i applied under the Guaranteed Admission Agreement through vccs to uva's school of nursing but i did not get in. && john i think it is to your original school because if i remember right, they wont allow you to change to a different school if u dont get into the one you applied to.
    i could be wrong though- congrats on getting in guys! hope this helped!

    Say I get accepted this year as a transfer student (2014) but for family reasons it may not be possible to leave the school I am at until next year, after completing my sophomore year. If I have to stay where I am for one more year.. what are the chances of getting into uva again nxt year. I am freaking out about this situation, best news/hardest situation of my life. Will my chances of admission after my sophomore year be affected if I musttttt be forced to not attend in fall 2010. Or will by inability not to attend next year not affect admissions when i apply again?

  36. AlexApril 29, 2011 at 7:27 PM

    Tough-Situation,

    I am sorry that situation like yours exist at all. However, if you do not attend this fall, and wait for next year your chances may very well be affected. Your grades may change, which will affect your GPA, thus affecting your acceptance. Do not take the above statements as absolutes, I do not work for the admissions office and do not know their operating procedures; what I am telling you are just ideas and general possibilities. Good luck with everything. I hope that I helped, even on the smallest scale.

  37. Tough-SituationApril 29, 2011 at 7:34 PM

    Alex-
    Thank you so much for your comment. I think I am concerned as whether or not admissions will consider me not attending next year in the possible acceptance or denial of me next year. I have faith and I am sure things will work out, everything happens for a reason right! I understand that grades, activities etc. will change and affect chances of admissions, I am just wondering if I dont attend this year that it will be affected in the decision next year... or is this a complete non factor in the admissions office?

    what is the best housing to choose as a transfer student? I was interested in the hereford special transfer housing but a lot of what I have read online said that that is the worst place to live because of its location.

  39. MeganApril 29, 2011 at 7:50 PM

    Tough-Situation,

    I'm sorry to hear about your situation. I will tell you though that last year I applied for the Class of 2013 and was rejected. I have the exact GPA and extracurricular activities when I applied again this year and got in. So there's still hope! If you apply again next year, just make sure you have solid essays and maybe in your "reasons for transferring" essay next year indicate the reasons you could not accept your offer the previous year and let them know how hard your decision was. Good luck!

    This is THE happiest day of my life so far... I am still in a state of shock from getting in... I am just that much more motivated to finish as strong as I can with my remaining clases and looking forward to making some new friends at UVA... Congrats to everyone who made it this far, it has been a nerve wracking process but we all survived because we are unique and have something special to offer to the school. I want to say thank you to all of the admissions staff for making this as painless as they could. Both of my parents and my brother in law all went to VA Tech so a little friendly family hazing is taking place but I think with all of you behind me, we can take em :)

    Dear UVA admitted fellows,

    First of all, congratulations on all of you! I am so excited to get into UVA this year.
    However, not until I paid deposit$400 that I have a concern about not seeing "VIEW DECISION" but "Complete" and "To-do list-Final Transcript" on SIS. Does this mean rejected?! Please share your thought!

    ReplyDelete
  52. AlexApril 30, 2011 at 8:09 AM

    @Yoshee

    If you received a letter of admission and paid your due, then it means you see in. The final transcript on the to-do-list is for your final grades, that is what they want as soon as you finish current semester.

    Does anyone know if you can immediately look up your student ID number after you pay your deposit or if you have to wait? Also how do you look it up? I feel like now that I've been accepted and have paid my deposit I have no idea what I'm doing! Haha.

    @Katie's Going to UVA - Thanks for the help! I've got it now :)

    The students calling themselves "non-traditional" do make me chuckle. Because I'd consider all you nursing and engineering students way more typical. I have yet to hear from another person in the College of Arts and Sciences interested in Spanish. Anyways, I think I'm just jealous because I wish I was a smart engineer or nurse! Instead I'll just be chillin' with the natives in Latin America or Spain. Haha.

  65. MelMay 1, 2011 at 8:59 PM

    Tuhablasespanol,

    "Non-Traditional" means "older". :-) Non-traditional students can be well over the average undergraduate age (18-22), have families, be pursuing a second undergraduate degree in a different field, be financially independent, work full time while attending school, or have taken time off after high school. It's kind of a catch-all term.

    Spanish is definitely a less common pursuit - good for you! It's a very marketable skill in a very tough job market.

    Hi,
    I was accepted as a transfer. I had put on my application that I would be enrolling for 4 classes this Summer. I only need 2 to get my Associate's. A counselor saw that I was enrolled in 4 and told me that UVA only accepts 60 credits. Do I still need to take the 2 classes that I said I would take?

    How are people claiming to not get in with a 4.0 On the portion describing not being offered admissions?

    Can people who were accepted share your GPAs and such. I'm really confused if having a 3.7 with 81 credits in 2 years is enough.

    Kinda bothering me.
