Congrats on the acceptance ... I got my waitlist notification 🙁

II today! OOS complete early August, multiple Feb dates available

 

[Doctor Drizzy]

to any current UVA med students: how does a matriculant find housing? I am an undergrad at UVA and people sign leases in october/november for the following year.

I currently live in Charlottesville. Leasing for the more professional and graduate student area around UVA doesn't start until about March and goes later into the spring and summer. I live in a grad student only apartment and they don't start leasing here until March or later. It's only the undergraduate heavy area that is crazy early.

 

[WannaBeEmDee]

We fellow undergrads should form a group or something!

Congrats!! I have say, I respect the hell out of how fast UVA's turnaround time usually is after interviewing.

Yeah but those two days drastically increased the bioavailability of my damn cortisol, let me tell you...

I feel you but I'd take that over the decreased bioavailability of my serotonin as the weeks slide into months after interviewing and the silence becomes deafening.

You’re right, it’s a balance. I definitely wasn’t complaining; it’s really cool how quick they are 🙂

Y'all are killing me. Too funny. While I'd love an interview here, it's kind of an awkward location for my husband. But, Charlottesville is so beautiful and we really love the school! Best of luck to everyone who is still waiting!

Quick question - I had an update that I wrote over a week ago and am embarrassed to admit that I have not sent. Are we supposed to email updates? I figure it's far too late at this point, but if I'm going to be rejected regardless, I might as well send an update... I didn't see a place to upload it to the portal, so I wasn't sure how to go about sending it in.

Email the general admissions office and they’ll add it to your file

I completed this application sometime in July and haven't heard a word, but it seems like people are still getting interviews? I'll keep my hopes up for this school.

Are you IS or OOS? My gut feeling is that IS are getting dem interviews later on...at least that’s a general pattern I’m seeing

Yeah but there are no hard and fast rules this late in the cycle. Again this is just my uneducated opinion. You never know if someone cancels and interview etc, and you’ll get it. Don’t freak out based on my (likely) ignorant observations.

Hey, as far as the interview day goes, this one was very relaxed. I liked that it didn't start super early. You start with an overview of the curriculum and the school and then two student will take you to lunch (which is AMAZING) and you can ask them anything. Then you go on a tour of the campus and facilities (wear shoes you don't mind walking on cobblestones with). After that you have 2, 30-minute interviews, one of which may be with a 4th year student. The interview itself if very laid back, no challenging questions or ethics stuff. They asked me about my extracurriculars and what specialties I was interested in. Try to have one or two questions for them. You should have some time in between interviews to relax and reset and the other applicants were nice. Hope this helps!! I got my acceptance the Friday of that same week.

Thank you for the feedback TT_TT I'm super nervous for this.
I've found that the high tier schools tend to have at least one mortifying interviewer. Hopefully this goes well

Do people tend to have an idea of UVA's post II acceptance rate?

 

[JoJustGotHisScores]

Depends on if your are IS or OOS. Numbers for last year from the MSAR:
IS interviews: 136 -- IS matriculated: 78 =~57% for IS
OOS interviews: 357 -- OOS matriculated: 76 =~21% OOS
However, schools tend to accept more students than matriculate (and each school is different on the number of extra acceptances they send), so perhaps a little higher than the above numbers.

That's an a post-interview acceptance rate of over 70%. Sounds great but...that seems incredibly high? Not that I'm complaining lol.

And they have a 2 day turnaround 🙂. I really like this school.

In case anyone was wondering, I emailed the Admissions Office to find out when class starts, and I was given this temporary schedule:

• Orientation Wednesday, August 1st - Tuesday, August 7th
• White Coat Ceremony Friday, August 10th

If we have to be in class on the first of the month, moving to Charlottesville will be tough...

Any idea why the matriculation rate is so low compared to the amount accepted?

their official numbers say they accept 300 not 400. idk why the discrepancy

This thread has been relatively quiet until recently! Can any current students comment on their experiences with the UVA curriculum and clinical rotations? 🙂

Where do most of the med students live?

Hi everyone, I'm a M1 at UVA. I got a lot from this thread last year so I figured I'd pay it forward.

Please let me know if you have any questions! Either through this thread or by PM, I'll try to respond ASAP
