and if so, did senioritis hit you? what was ur college major?

Hi all- I am a graduating 4th year and I am in need of 2 tickets for graduation. They are for my grandmother and uncle. I am her first granddaughter to graduate college, and it is super important for her to be there because she always told me stories of how she was unable to go to college "because of the time," even though she wanted to. It really pushed me to take advantage of all the opportunities I have been given and not take anything for granted. I would not be where I am today without her. She is also not in good health (lymphoma), but is still making the trip down from New Jersey to see me. She likely won't live long enough to see my sister graduate which is why I am trying my best to get her in to see my graduation. I know this is kind of a lot to put in a reddit post, but I need you to understand why I am so desperate to get an extra ticket. I have already asked all of my friends and no one has extras, which is why I am turning to reddit as a last resort. Also, my uncle is the one who takes care of my nana, which is why I need a ticket for him too. If there is anyone out there reading this who has an extra ticket or 2, or knows someone who does, please, please, please contact me. I would appreciate it beyond measure!!

has anyone studied abroad and been a stat major

Hey all! I’m a student reporter at Washington and Lee and am working on a final project about cannabis access in Virginia. Part of this project involves understanding how youth (ages 15-24) access cannabis, and whether Gov. Youngkin’s stance that a recreational market will enable youth consumption is backed up by people’s experiences. Your name will not be published unless you want it to be — I’d just love to hear more about how you access weed and your relationship with it!

DM me or leave a comment if you’re interested in chatting. Thanks all!

Hi everyone,

I recently got accepted to UVA as a transfer for this upcoming semester, but I have hit a snag regarding a course requirement. Unfortunately, I never took any foreign language courses at my prior college, and now I am faced with taking a Spanish Placement test.

I wanted to hear any input from anyone who has taken the test, what can I expect when it comes to difficulty, content (reading, writing, hearing), and anything else!

I will note that I have studied Spanish and am fairly comfortable speaking and (somewhat) understanding and reading it, but my vocab and grammar when writing are not that good.

I’m a little worried. I’m a biology premed second year major. Last semester I had 2 Cs from 2 stem classes, genetics and chem. This semester I will most likely end up with a C again in another bio class if I don’t get above a 90 on my final. (I have As in all my other classes) A lot of my bio classes have been solely exam based, which has ultimately made me struggle since I’m not the best test taker (regardless if I know the information or not. I talk myself out the right answer a lot) especially since many bio exams are concept based questions rather than just knowing the concept. I want to go to med school but knowing I’ll have 3 Cs is making me anxious. Do I even still have a shot? And there’s absolutely no way I can just switch my major now. So I’m just a little bit lost and looking for some validation if anyone is going through the same or has been through the same/advice. Thanks

Hey guys, I'm transferring next semester as a second-year and looking looking for a roommate(s). PM if interested.

For current and upcoming transfer applicants. I genuinely believe I would not have gotten in/missed out on some info if it had not been for this server. There's also a General UVA server, but this one is for anything transfer!

Thanks so much to everyone on that server! I will make sure to pay it forward!

Hello, I'm a recently admitted third year transfer (college of arts and science) on a pre-med track, trying to pick a major.

I'm looking at prereqs and major requirements and I'm wondering how on earth I'll be able to get all my prereqs done by the end of the fall semester for the majors I'm really interested in. At my previous school, I took a ton of biology courses beyond the 2-semester introductory series, but apparently not the right ones. (No cell bio or genetics were offered at the time, so I was taking other courses that aren't listed as major requirements at uva like physiology and microbio). On top of that, I'm behind in the chemistry and physics series that most all of these majors prefer. Bruh.

Has anyone transferred as a 3rd year and gotten into programs like neuroscience, human bio, cognitive science, etc even with this catch-up problem? I'm worried that I either a) will have to major in something I'm not as passionate about or b) won't graduate "on time". Rigor is not a concern for me, I'm willing to put in the work if it's possible to get into the program I want, even if that means january or summer term. I just don't know if it's even possible.

Hey everyone. I’ll be applying next fall (from nvcc), but I’ve had a pressing question that I hope someone might relate with. I want to get into the BSN program- is it better to just apply to transfer into the college of arts and sciences and then do an Intra-transfer to nursing, or to apply straight to nursing and risk the lower acceptance rate?

Could someone please share anything from personal experience about advising for premeds at UVA? At what point does it begin, and how consistent/solid is it? Do Echols scholars get any particular leg up with that, and when does a typical premed student begin clinical volunteering? How much of a role does an advisor play in helping secure clinical opportunities? How easy is it to get a scribing position at the hospital? Anything to keep in mind about premed at UVA? Sorry, too many questions, but truly appreciated!

So I didn’t think I was getting accepted into many universities as a returning student because I had issues with my previous transcripts but I just found out today that UVA accepted me.

I’m now torn between going to ODU still (as I accepted their returning student admission) or telling them I’m going to UVA instead. I’m planning on trying to study Cybersecurity but specifically Cyber Operations (red teaming) which only ODU seems to have in the state with its NSA backed program. Any CS or cyber students want to weigh in here?

I'm an admitted student to the e-school, and am thinking about minoring in English. I'd really like to sit in on an English class (or two!) before classes end (I realize this is quite soon - my understanding is its this Wednesday). I've heard its best to email the director of a department ahead of time to ask for recommendations on which class to attend/to let them know your plans. Is this the best approach? Assuming it was, I was looking at the faculty contacts and wondered whether I should email someone from the Admissions and Placement section, or the Graduate Program, and who in those categories :P

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

The faculty from the English Department's contact list I was considering reaching out to

I got into tech which was my backup but uva was my number one. got my associates of egr from CC and finished with a 3.7 gpa and I got denied today, not even waitlisted. is there any hope for appealing the decision or any steps i could take towards that? really bummed and anything helps

The deadline to accept the offer is May 15th but I have no idea what my reward letter looks like! Anybody knows if I can expect the reward letter before the deadline for accepting the offer of admission

I live on Wertland Street, and I want to go on like a 2 1/2 hour walk one day this week.

I’ve done the walk from the corner to the dairy market then to downtown mall and back up main street to wertland but that’s really not that far. I like walking places like downtown mall so I can people watch and grab a coffee or water if I want. Where would be a good route to walk for 10 ish miles?

I got accepted into UVA for the college of arts and sciences and am considering majoring in statistics. I also got into Virginia Tech and have heard from friend about how good the statistics program is there. How is UVA’s statistics program?

I was wondering how many people already got their financial aid packages back from here. I already paid my deposit more than a month ago, and my FAFSA was processed at the beginning of the month. I am concerned about this strongly, and if I do not get my package back, I am worried that I won't be able to attend. Has anyone else had their FAFSA processed early April but still not heard back yet or is there something I have done wrong?

Hi! I was accepted as a second-year transfer from W&M. How difficult are classes at UVA compared to W&M? I plan on studying economics and global studies. I want to go to grad school, I have a 4.0 currently, and I am involved in research. Would maintaining a 4.0/very high GPA be attainable at UVA? How easy is it for undergrads to do research at UVA (specifically in international development, foreign affairs, or econ) as transfers? Additionally, do IRC, Shea House, or Brown have housing available for transfer students for the fall? Thank you!

I just got into UVA for transfer and I’ll be an incoming sophomore. How likely is it that I can get into McIntire in my junior year? It seems like I meet all the requirements (stats, calc, Econ, English, took business 101 at my current school) if I take accounting in my first semester at UVA. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! I’m having a hard time deciding between UVA and UMich.

Is anyone protest at UVA? Or intending to?

JUST GOT IN AS A TRANSFER TO THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT 🥲🥲🥲😭🎉🎉🎉🎉

I just got waitlisted for arts & sciences:( does anyone know how many people usually get off the waitlist for transfers? I said I would remain on the waiting list.

Had a tough first year academically. Really wanting to change the trend from next year onwards. Are there any seniors that are willing to share their notes with me... looking for notes for cell bio, evo/eco, org chem 1... etc. It would be a great help!

Hi, I was just accepted as a transfer to the eschool and I'm a little worried. I applied with a 3.8 GPA, but this latest semester has not gone well, and I already resigned one class and am looking at getting somewhere around 3.0-3.3. Is anybody having a similar experience, or know the chances of my offer being rescinded? Any advice would help, thanks.
