2025 Spring Transfer Statistics

Hi, everyone! Here are a few statistics from our 2025 Spring Transfer round:

Applications: 501

Admission Offers: 123

Acceptance Rate: 24.6%

I hope this helps convey the competitiveness of the spring transfer round. If you were not admitted, please do not be too discouraged, as you are able to roll over your spring application to fall consideration. For the fall round, we are able to welcome many more students--typically around 700. You may roll over your spring application to fall in your MyUVA Application Portal. If you have any issues accessing your portal, please let us know at undergradadmission@virginia.edu.

Spring Transfer Deadline is Approaching...

Happy fall, everyone! If you plan to apply for spring 2025 transfer to UVA, the application deadline is fast approaching. All applications are due by Tuesday, October 1, 2024. If you have any questions about submitting the spring transfer application, please feel free to contact us at the Office of Admission via email (undergradadmission@virginia.edu) or phone (434-982-3200).

Moreover, if you'd like information about transferring to UVA, please check out our website at https://admission.virginia.edu/admission/transfer. 

We look forward to your application, and Go Hoos!

Fall Transfer Waiting List is Now Closed

Hello everyone,  

We have just received word that the admission committee has determined that the transfer waiting list is closed. At this point in time, we are unable to offer admission to further candidates for the Fall of 2024. Each year we receive many more extraordinary candidates than we were able to admit, and this year was no exception.    

All candidates remaining on the waiting list have been notified by email, and their portal has been updated to reflect these changes.  

We remain grateful for your interest in the University of Virginia, and we wish you the very best in your future endeavors. 

Fall 2024 Transfer Admission Release and Statistics

Hello Everyone!

Thank you for your patience while waiting for our office to finish up the review process for this enrollment cycle. Decisions were released electronically yesterday evening. If you applied, you received a notification saying there was an update to your application status - check your applicant portal for your decisions! 

Please pay attention to the deposit deadline and instructions in that notification. If you're waiting for a financial aid award before making your decision, those should be out soon. If you’ve applied for financial aid, make sure that you’ve submitted your FAFSA and CSS profile to UVA, and check your SIS portal to make sure you have completed any items that may be on your to-do list. We know that award information may be important in your decision – as the deadline approaches, if you have submitted all of your documents and you are still waiting on the financial aid package, let us know and we can extend your deadline to deposit. 

FAQs: 

-If you are waitlisted (or admitted), make sure to send your final spring transcript (if you're currently in courses) as soon as it is available. Waitlist decisions won't go out until late May at the earliest - likely June. 

-If you were denied, do know that this is an extremely competitive process with a limited amount of space - unfortunately the nature of selective admissions is we have to deny (or waitlist) really strong candidates every year. If you'll be applying next admission cycle, keep following the course recommendations - those (and/or grades) are the biggest factors influencing transfer decisions.  

Congratulations on making it through this admission cycle, everyone!

Fall 2024 Decision Release

 Hi everyone,

As our committee is putting the finishing touches on our Fall Transfer Review, it is with great excitement that I can announce that Fall Transfer decisions will be released in the evening on Monday, April 29th.  A few notes:

1.  This is official.  Please do not call our office to confirm.

2. I do not know exactly what time decisions will release, and neither does our team. This is a complicated process, and it takes time. Once they are live, you will receive an email telling you that your application status has updated and will be able to log in and review your decision.

3. For those interested, another post will be published on Monday with more information about the applicant pool, and about next steps.

Thank you again for your patience as we review your applications; we look forward to celebrating the next generation of Wahoo transfers!

Mid-Semester Grades and Finalizing Course Schedules

Hello everyone and Happy April,  

For those of you who applied for Fall 2024 Transfer and want to submit Mid-Semester Grades, you may upload a screenshot or document to your application portal via the Upload Materials section. The material will be automatically placed in your file, and you do not need to email or call to see if we have received it. Since Mid-Semester Grades are optional, they will not show up on the checklist in the portal.

For those of you who are planning to apply for the next cycle of Spring or Fall Transfer, please remember to keep the Transfer Course Requirements in mind while finalizing your schedule.  

To view courses that have transferred to UVA in the past, please use the following resources:

• Transfer Credit Analyzer
• Engineering Transfer Credit Equivalency List (for students interested in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences). 

Outstanding Materials for Fall 2024 Applications

Hello everyone,  

A quick note about outstanding materials. If you still have incomplete items on the checklist in your MyUVA Application Portal, please make sure the official documents are sent to our office as soon as possible.

If you are applying for need-based financial aid, please keep working on your Financial Aid forms (FAFSA or VASA and CSS Profile).

Fall 2024 Transfer Deadline

Hello everyone,  

Today is the deadline for Fall Transfer! If you are still waiting to complete the Common App for Transfer and would like to be considered for the Fall Transfer cycle, please make sure you submit the application by the end of today. 

Even if you are waiting for external materials (High School Transcript, College Transcript, etc.) to be sent to our office, you still need to submit the Common App for Transfer today.

We look forward to reading your Fall Transfer applications!
