II too!! So happy!!
II just now! OOS. Looking forward to that lunch tbh. Multiple dates open the first 3 weeks of september.
Edit: How does one get to Charlottesville.. Few flights and they're all very expensive.
Unfortunately one of the drawbacks of UVA is that Charlottesville is hard to get to. I ate the ~650 for the flight for the interview to fly direct to Charlottesville. It is possible to fly into D.C. or Richmond, but you have a ~2 hr or ~1 hr drive from those respectively. I didn't go to second look for his reason, but I was flying from basically the other side of the country.

I think I'll just drive since it's 9 hours and flying would only save a few hours it seems. Side note but do you know if UVA offers merit scholarships?

Richmond is an hour away and has many more incoming flights. You could Uber from here, but it would be expensive. You could rent a car too, but assuming your under 25, that will suck too. There a couple ride connecting sites/commute sites, like this one in VA. I've used it before, but I wouldn't want to put the fate of getting to my interview into someone else's hands like that. Honestly, if UVA is a top choice school, I would just bite the bullet and fly into C'ville (assuming driving is out of the question).II just now! OOS. Looking forward to that lunch tbh.

Man, I was salty about my five hour drive in. Sympathies to all those who have to fly in, that's rough.Richmond is an hour away and has many more incoming flights.

II this morning!!! OOS
Congrats to both of you? May we know your stats and when you submitted your secondaries?
For those who've submitted the in-state privileges form via email, did you receive a response confirming its receipt? I sent mine in over 2 weeks ago and haven't gotten any kind of confirmation, so I'm wondering if I should follow up on it.
I called the VA status office and they confirmed that I was eligible and had already forwarded that info to the School of Medicine. I never got a confirmation otherwise.For those who've submitted the in-state privileges form via email, did you receive a response confirming its receipt?

Has there been any in-state II's yet? If anyone has gotten one, please let us know, so we know they started looking at in-state people.
I am in state (UVA student) and I received an II 7/19
Congrats! What were your stats? When did you submit?
Seems like you are the only one. Do you have any crazy ECs?
Good luck, dude! You are killing it.
hey, thanks man! kinda nervous for the interview but I hope all goes well
stats:
518 mcat
3.919 overall gpa, not sure what my science gpa is, probably around that
and it depends on your definition of a crazy EC haha, but I did teach English to deaf Guatemalan students through ASL, as I am fluent in it.

Does anyone know if the med school campus is close to the undergrad campus?
+1
Anyone have any insight on this message from previous years? One poster on this thread said its like they'll keep coming back throughout the year and checking to see if you got an interview (the waiting here would be so intense sigh) while another said only some got interviews after this message.
checked google maps a while ago, its literally closer to the main campus than some dorms are

How are things on campus, with the protests and all?First day of non-orientation class now and we have met our first patients. Basic interviews (one conducted by faculty, one by a panel of first year students - not patient care), but we're learning the stories about our patients' lives. It was a pretty cool day.
