Not sure if I should be worried it got lost or if uva just hasn't had time to process it/update it yet. <br /><br />I realize calling or emailing uva is pointless since they don't have the staff to check for me. <br /><br />Thanks!Final Transcriptnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3308354316414245045.post-82399703362648714492012-06-03T12:21:43.741-04:002012-06-03T12:21:43.741-04:00Can I fax in a letter of intent tomorrow and it wi...Can I fax in a letter of intent tomorrow and it will still not be counted as late?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3308354316414245045.post-10184044559900700072012-06-02T23:21:52.983-04:002012-06-02T23:21:52.983-04:00P.S.

You don’t need to report this change if you’re taking science courses. <br /><br />Yellowish red,<br />Everyone meets with their advisor for the first time and signs up for courses at orientation.<br /><br />Housing waitlist and housingwait, it was my impression that the housing deadline is not until May 25, so I'm not sure how there could be a wait list(WL). I did a little research and found that housing makes offers on June 10. You must be on a WL for a residential college. You may apply for regular upper-class housing(hint, hint: Johnson Weedon Malone is very popular). My hope is that they will also post something about transfers on their blog - http://uvahousing.wordpress.com/. <br /><br />Faust Midas,<br />It’s better to forge ahead and start chipping away at new courses.
