Does applying early decision oos increase my chances?

I just applied early decision. My grandfather went there and I’ve grown to love everything UVA stands for, strives towards, as well as what they have to offer on the educational front. I’m just wondering if applying early decision will actually increase my chances as an out of state student.

Some quick stats:

4.5 gpa, Carson Scholar, Many ecs (4 year mock trial, president and founder of a school violence prevention club, vp of nhs, Rho Kappa, Phi Theta Kappa, NTHS, NEHS, founder of criminal justice reform community service group, job as a paralegal assistant at a law firm, etc.), 3 APs, 21 college credits in progress

Are there any 1 credit graded courses? I know there are a bunch of CR/NC but I would like something graded to fill up an awkward 1 credit left on requirements.

Same day medical care

Does anyone have any good recommendations for medical care in the Cville area that would likely be able to get me in for a same-day sick appointment?

Trying to Reconnect with a Blonde Guy from Two Years Ago (M4M)

This might be a long shot, but I’m a gay guy hoping to reconnect with someone I met a couple of years ago. About two years ago, a blonde guy stayed over at my place. We had a great night and seemed interested in taking things further, but he left early and left a pair of his underwear.

I’ve kept them just in case we crossed paths again, and honestly… I might want to hang on to them as a keepsake. But if you’re reading this, I’d love to reconnect and see if we could finally pick up where we left off. Feel free to DM me!

Is it reasonable for me to transfer?? Or just advice

Hey guys, I am really in a tough spot and it’s all eating away at me, im literally crying in the shower as I type this so I’m sorry if I’m rambling. I’m a first year from VB, which isn’t far so I feel bad being so homesick. The first week here was fun, I was excited kinda like the honeymoon phase in a relationship. But after a bit I have started to become REALLY homesick and I genuinely don’t think I can do it anymore. I’ve made friends, I go out, I study, and I stay occupied, but I still always feel the same way. I already have had and am still going through a bad bout of depression, so that doesn’t make things any better. I go home on the weekends sometimes and that’s the only time I feel normal. I see my friends back home and I can relax in my own room, and I always have my family and support group like I’ve always had. Out here I don’t have that. I can call them sure, but I just am so depressed here. Grounds is beautiful but I can’t help but get a deep sense of grief as I walk around and see a school bus drive by the corner. I am grieving my childhood. I feel like I’ll never be that happy again. I just want the people and the things that make me feel happy and it seems like I haven’t found that here yet despite having amazing friends. I just want to go home. Should I wait to think about transferring to ODU? I would like to see myself tough through the rest of the year, but this whole thing is really messing with my ability to concentrate on school and all that. Thank you any advice helps

Conflicted

What can I even do to get involved this late into my UVA career since I'm NOT a 1st year and it's this late into the school year? It's too late to really even get out there because everyone has already established their friend groups and isn't open to getting to know anyone outside of it. Not to mention, I seriously have not come across a club that even peaks my curiosity...... I don't know what do to anymore to try to enjoy it here. I'm pretty much sad everyday I'm here.

Halloween

Who else doesn't have anyone to hangout with or do anything with for Halloween? It's my 2nd year having no one, lol. Since I don't, I'm heading home because I can't stand watching everyone else around me have fun tonight while I sit alone in my room. At least I won't have to be here on grounds to observe that now. Sucks not having any friends in college. Those of you who do are lucky. Wish I had friends here or could connect with people here to make friends. Cheers to being alone the next 3 years.

You can register to vote and vote on election day

While only 51% of 18 to 24 year olds voted in 2020, 68% of UVA students did. Go Hoos! Now let's get that even higher.

Thanks to a 2022 law, we can register to vote and vote on election day. All you need is your student ID.

Election day polling location (for students living on grounds) is Slaughter Rec from 6am to 7pm. Golf cart rides are available from 9am to 4pm from anywhere on grounds. Text your location to (434) 218-0944‬. More info: https://servatuva.mailchimpsites.com/polling

If you're registered elsewhere, you just update your registration to Virginia and get a regular ballot. If you newly register, you get a provisional ballot. Be precise and careful because 1 of 3 of the Albemarle electoral board is batshit crazy. To see provisional ballot process: https://www.elections.virginia.gov/media/training/Intro-to-Provisional-Ballots.pdf

Edited to add sample ballot pdf link (shows the actual voting part that everyone, provisional and regular, fills out): https://www.albemarle.org/home/showpublisheddocument/23619/638617662494400000

cs4640 vs 4720

In between these two classes, but have heard that 4640 can be time consuming.

any recommendations? I'm interested in web dev and weighing whether the time commitment is worth it for my last semester or if i should try to learn things on my own and do 4720.

Is it possible to request a professor to increase a class's credit hours?

Hello, I need a 4-credit class, but the only J-term options available are 3 credits, which means I’d be short for graduation requirements. I’m wondering if it’s possible to request a professor to make a J-term class worth 4 credits, similar to how some courses offer 1-4 variable credit options.

I’m really hoping to find an accommodating professor since paying the rates for part-time spring enrollment plus another semester of rent would be a huge stretch. Has anyone had luck with this kind of request, or does anyone know if professors can even make this type of credit adjustment? Thanks in advance!

UVA Engineering Environment

Hi! I’m applying to colleges this year and I keep going back and forth on whether or not to ED UVA. I think I really like UVA but all the people I know that are going hate it. I’m planning on going to the college of engineering so please let me know how the environment is in the engineering school (I’m applying cheme). Like is it competitive in a toxic way or is everyone super collaborative and nice? I honestly chose to ED UVA because I thought their engineering students were super kind and help each other contrary to many other engineering schools. Pls lmk cuz deadline is in two days otherwise lmk what you don’t or do like as a UVA student in general!!
