This is a short compilation of the questions you've asked over the past few days. I've answered some of them in the comments sections of the last three posts. I think you'll see that this process requires patience, but slowly, you'll get the information you'll need.
Wait
List
There
are 400+ students on the wait list.
Currently, 300 have agreed to remain on the wait list. I’m not going to break it out school by
school, but most offers will come from the College of Arts and Sciences, and some
from engineering. After May 15th, I will let you know if we
are moving to the wait list and for which schools. Those accepted from the wait list will be
emailed or phoned. We won’t accept
anyone without your most recent grades. You must send an official transcript,
just as you did with your application. I
can’t say how many students will be admitted.
On average over the past few years, it’s been 80-100 students. It really
depends on how the class is shaping up.
You
may send a letter of continued interest through the mail or by email to undergradadmission@virginia.edu
or uvaapplicationinfo@virginia.edu. They both funnel to the same place. Additional recommendations are not
required. Again, your academic (grades)
and social (disciplinary issues) standing are most important during this
stage.
After
Being Admitted
Financial
aid awards will be posted online in the coming days; some may receive it as
early as Tuesday, May 4th, but for many it will take some time. Please keep an eye on your to-do list to make
sure you’ve turned in all requested documentation.
For
information on housing, please go to http://www.virginia.edu/housing/faq.php?faq_id=transfer
Orientation
information should be emailed to you (if you’ve deposited) by the end of the
week.
Estimated
fees can be found here - http://sfs.virginia.edu/cost/15-16.
You are an entering second or third year student.

Although recommendations are not required, can we still send them to the admissions email?
My last final is on the 13th, will application reading take place before this?
Similarly to LM, my last final is on the 15th. I'm expecting final grades to be available the 18th or so. My transcript has to be processed and then shipped which could take another week. Is there anything I can do? If I haven't sent in a midterm report, should I at this point? Thank you in advance for answering my questions!
wait list,
Yes.
LM and Ron Beilinson,
We can't do anything until the deadline for depositing, May 15th passes. Most finals don't conclude until mid-late May. For this reason, and I think I said in an earlier post that we will start looking at the wait list in early June. If you go to a school where grades won't be posted until mid-late June, we'll wait if we can, but can't make any promises.
Thank you for not being anonymous! :)
I am an accepted student; should I send my final transcript to the same address that I send my transcript during the application process?
Thanks so much for all your help throughout this whole year! :)
Hello! I'm currently on the waitlist for Arts & Sciences, and I applied as a History Major, but after an Art History class this past semester I have found my passion and want to pursue art history! Am I allowed to change my major on my application? Will this hurt my chances? Thank you!
Hello,
I was wondering if we will get an email to notify us when our financial aid is done and posted?
I have a loan displaying on my SIS but my award letter is not available for viewing yet.
can transfer students change their major? For example, linguistics to accounting
Where do we go to sign up for orientation?
oh, also I do not think that my UVA email is receiving mail. I haven't gotten anything from UVA yet and I tested it by sending an email from my personal account and it said that it "failed permanently"
Will we be told how many wait list spots are open after the 15th?
Kat,
Yes, please send your final transcript to the same address you used in the past. It is also listed on the sidebar of the blog.
Elise,
This will not hurt your chances. You will need to email undergradadmission@virginia.edu to request this change. This has an effect on orientation meetings should you be admitted.
KD,
I believe that Student Financial Services (SFS) periodically sends emails, but you’ll need to check with them. They are working overtime in light of transfer and first-year packaging.
Transfer654,
This switch would be really complicated as the majors are in different schools. Please search and read up on the McIntire School of Commerce.
Thomas,
Search uva orientation, or http://www.virginia.edu/orientation/summer/dates.php. It should take a few days for your email to get up and running. If there’s still nothing, contact the help desk, 4help@virginia.edu or 434-924-HELP.
LM,
We are still looking at numbers after the weekend. We should have some information to give later this week or early next week. Again, decisions won’t be coming out until we’re safely into June.
I go to a school that is on the quarter system, which means that my grades will not be official until June 14th. If I immediately send the grades, will they still be reviewed before waitlist decisions are made?
Does it look like any of the students on the School of Nursing wait list will be accepted?
Mark Gerhart,
We'll try and do our best to wait to see your last quarter grades, or make a decision without them. Let's hope you can get them out the door on the 14th or 15th. We'll see where we are then.
Olivia,
Yes, nursing is likely this time.
