P/F, new education building for the class of 2014, friendliness of the admissions staff/interviewers, new curriculum, beautiful grounds, great history/culture, flexibility with regards to pursuing ancillary interests

What are your general comments?

UVa is awesome, you'll love it. You'll also get a decision pretty soon--about a week after your interview. Much better than the other schools who sit on your app for months without any word.
