Offered Admission for fall 2012?


In order to bring structure to the commentary that will come to the blog, I’m creating separate posts for each decision. Please be respectful of your fellow commenters and UVA.   I will delete unpleasant and offensive commentary.

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

As I said before, your status page is pretty basic.  The admissions deposit which goes towards your first tuition  for the first semester is $400.00.   Below your “letter,” you should see buttons for accepting or declining our offer of admission.  Clicking “YES” will not completely secure your spot in the class. You will need to pay in order to set it in stone.  You can pay with a credit card (we don’t accept VISA) or with an e-check. You’ll have until May 15th to put down a deposit.  If you decide not to come to UVA, please decline our offer on that same page. This will make for a cleaner wait list phase.

We do not have admitted students’ days for transfers, but you are welcome to visit before you have to make your decision.   I can address questions about orientation and housing next week.  I’ll let you know when financial aid awards begin to go out. These are only posted online.

Make sure to apply by April 30 if you are interested in need-based financial aid.  As I posted a little while ago, no exceptions will be made with this deadline. If you haven’t completed the FAFSA, your CSS Profile and submitted your tax information, then I guess you have some homework to do for this weekend.
