Denied by UVa

Denied students can use this entry to talk and ask questions.

I'm so sorry this sort of "thread" is even needed. I hope you all can look at your options and get excited about one of your other schools. If your immediate reaction is "I'll transfer", please keep an open mind. While I think the transfer process at UVa is fantastic, I hope you'll throw yourself into campus life at another school, not bide your time until transfer applications are due.

I hope you're read this post and remember that this decision is probably about our numbers. You didn't do anything "wrong" (a common question).
CavDog wishes he knew what to say to make this easier for you.
