Anyone know why the secondary fee on the payment page lists only $1? I don't have a fee waiver...
 
I called about the $1 and the admissions woman said their supervisor was contacting IT support about it. I guess we'll see what happens 😕
 
Address for the "University of Virginia Status Office":
P.O. Box 400160 Charlottesville, VA 22904

Still listed as $1 for me? Is there another link I should use to pay for it?

Also just $1 for me. I tried logging out, etc, but now I'm just going to wait it out until tomorrow and see if I need to call again then.

I originally paid the $1 that was posted about 2 hours ago, so maybe that's what's messing it up for me. Did you do that as well?

Have you paid the fee? If you cannot access it from the page (which many cannot) , UVA should have sent you an email with the link to pay the fee.

They did, but it's listed as a $1 fee, which even after paying, my app still notes that the fee isn't complete. Has anyone tried calling them?
 
Has anyone else submitted their app and not gotten an email on how to pay? It's been 3 days for me 🙁
 
Interview dates that I could see were the first two weeks in September, btw -- I know sometimes people are curious. Two half-hour interviews, plus a tour and lunch with the med students.
 
They must be like UMich and send out their first IIs to high-stat OOS folks. Hoping that means I'll get one soon!
 
Congrats to the early II's! I'm also an incoming M1 and can answer any questions I can.

For some basic info, UVA generally invites the highest stats applicants first to interview. I was complete in early July but didn't get the invite until the end of September and others similarly completed early were invited as late as November, so don't give up if you're 'passed,' you're always fair game for II. Everyone who interviews before October 15 will hear back on that day (or October 16 since the 15th is a sunday this year). After that, everyone hears back the Friday of the week they interviewed (UVA interviews Mon-Thurs and the adcom reviews that week's interviewees Friday morning). UVA also probably has the best lunch of any school you will interview at. Good luck!

Man, I was already psyched for my first interview and now you've got me psyched for the lunch, too. Thanks for the info!
