I know this might seem like a silly question,but I definitely will be attending UVA SOM next year. I withdrew from all other schools by the April 30th deadline. That's all we have to do right??? There was no extra form to send in or anything?

@PsychFan54 will also be attending 🙂
I called admissions and they said that's all you need to do for now. Of course, later we have to send transcripts and BLS.

3. How many applicants are on the Alternate List?
The number of individuals on the Alternate List starts out fairly large; usually about 175 applicants. However, as the season progresses, there is considerable attrition on the list, and by the time positions are available, there are typically only 70 to 80 individuals who continue to be actively interested in attending the University of Virginia. It is from this pool of applicants that the Admissions Committee will fill positions in the class.
4. When can I expect to hear from the Admissions Committee?
It is impossible to know exactly when positions will become available. The Admissions Committee will overbook the class, knowing that some applicants will choose to attend another medical school. Because applicants are not allowed to hold multiple acceptances after May 15, we typically receive a number of withdrawals around that date. Based on previous years' experiences, we believe the class size will drop below 141 sometime in late June. At that time, review of the Alternate List will begin. All Alternate List candidates are kept under consideration until the first day of orientation or until an applicant matriculates at another medical school, whichever comes first.
5. How many applicants are taken from the Alternate List each year?
It is impossible to know in advance how many positions will become available in any given year. In previous years, the average numbers of matriculants from the Alternate List has been approximately 10 to 12 individuals.

I just want to point out that according to your link, this version of their wait list letter is from 2006. When I got it a couple of months ago, they were saying that the average number of people pulled off the wait list is around 20.
~100 people are on the waitlist this year, so 20% accepted off the WL is not bad!
Good luck to all!
I was accepted off the waitlist yesterday!!!!! Beyond excited, especially since I'll be going back to where I did my undergrad!
Just got the call today! I got accepted off the waitlist! 😀 So excited to attend UVA!
I think I found the closed facebook group, so I just requested to join! In the meantime, what is housing like? Where do students typically live?
EDIT: Sorry, I think my question probably wasn't clear enough. I read the previous responses on this thread and I'd like to know specifically which apartment complexes or neighborhoods people recommend 😛
