2023-2024 Virginia

[spaghettimaster69]

I've gotten alot of love from Virginia schools as an in-state student and I'll say that they definitely do value ties a lot. I sent in letters of interest emphasizing my past work with both UVA & VCU which they seemed to really like. I highly recommend sending in LOIs if you're able to do that for these two schools.

How did you send letters of interest when they said they don't want letters?

Their website says they interview through early March so wouldn't that mean they're likely not done sending invites?

I believe it varies year-to-year but I think historically 10-20 people.

[medfun101]

Does anyone know how likely it is to get off the waitlist?

 

[dihedralsymmetry]

I've heard from multiple people that UVA has decent WL movement. They accept a lot of strong applicants who end up going to T20s / other high-ranked schools and then pull from the WL. Desperately hoping so b/c I'm IS and could use an A

that is true but they also accept a huge number of applicants because of this reason (more so than any other T20-30 school). Although they assure that there is some movement off the WL every year.
