But I know from personal experience that if you let your entire educational career ride on your admittance to ONE school, you're might end up shooting yourself in the foot. That's how I ended up at my current penitentiary...errr, i mean university.<BR/><BR/>If you get into a school that you have genuine interest in going to and their reply date is on or before May 1st, send the money in. The worst (or best, I guess) thing that can happen is that you end up getting into UVA and you're out 200 bucks. Not a bad deal in the long run if you think about it. <BR/><BR/>In my opinion, I'd rather spend the extra 200 bucks to ensure that I'm at least going SOMEWHERE I like. <BR/><BR/>UVA isn't going to change their policy (which, after some research, has ALWAYS been May 1st) to benefit the few students who have deadline issues.skierWITHOUTsnowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07565791445352199414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3308354316414245045.post-32070840764876877712008-04-21T22:54:00.000-04:002008-04-21T22:54:00.000-04:00Transfermer, Thanks for the Financial Aid informat...Transfermer, <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the Financial Aid information--I had been wondering when letters would go out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3308354316414245045.post-42071385568269031922008-04-21T15:25:00.000-04:002008-04-21T15:25:00.000-04:00Financial Aid information will be released a week ...Financial Aid information will be released a week or so after decisions come out.

See my previous comment in a blog post from March. <BR/><BR/>There is NOT a guaranteed admission agreement for the Commerce School.

However, if you are applying to any professional schools then the admission officers will see all your grades, including previous colleges.<BR/><BR/>How does a transfer rank among his/her class? <BR/><BR/>I guess the transfers would go into the respective class as their previous college. If you are applying as a 2nd year student for UVA this year then you would be in class of 2011 but also be considerate of your number of credits too.<BR/><BR/>What is the percentage of second year transfers admissions rate?<BR/><BR/>Overall admission rate was stated above which is 37% including 1st and 2nd yr. transfers.
