following up on this - when are they typically released?

Just found this.

Merit-Based Scholarships - Financial Aid

“All merit scholarships at the UVA School of Medicine are awarded by the Office of Admissions. There is no application for these scholarships. Recipients will be notified by the Office of Admissions, typically in late March or early April.”

Any waitlist movement?

 

[wahoowa19]

Do these qualitative assessments extend to grades of fail too? Or is it only G/S/H? Thanks!

acceptable and unacceptable. of course anything can be failed.

Any waitlist movement?

i dont think anything moves until like may/june at the earliest

 

[AlejandroRojas]

This might be a dumb question but how does UVA decide on AOA status given that they're unranked? Is it based on clinical performance evals?

 

[prw0011]

I unfortunately won't be able to attend second look, so if one of you lovely people could let me know how it goes, it would be much appreciated!

I was under the impression that they still keep track of how everyone is doing and use it for AOA but that they just dont send out a rank list. From what my advisors have told me basically every school is keeping track of how everyone is doing regardless of whether they are unranked or not because residency directors want to hear in the dean's letter how the person did

Does anyone know what the August schedule for the incoming class looks like? I've found it for previous years but want to know when classes start so I can figure out moving, etc. Thanks!

I was looking for this information as well and I found this. Orientation | Admissions

Did you manage to get a chance to go to second look? If so, how was it?

 

[Mooseforkicks]

So has anyone gotten a merit scholarship/heard of anyone else who got one?

I think they said late March/early April. Wondering if those have gone out already.

I'm curious about that as well, I've only gotten the need-based info back so far

I’m wondering if they’re waiting for the multiple acceptance report on April 30th

I thought that the acceptance report was removed starting this year though? Although April 30th is still the day you have to narrow down to one acceptance, so it may have the same effect.

As far as I understand, the mid February MAR wasn’t sent out this year, but I think the schools get that info after April 30th anyways

 

[Ama4]

Can someone please answer this.

• How's the curriculum

1. Is it P/F
2. Traditional 2+2
3. PBL or lecture?
4. Mandatory classes, recorded lecture, both?

• What's the class size
• How are clinical rotations?
• Is the school laid back or more intense?

Trying to compile my pros and cons between schools. Thanks

 

[wahoowa19]

1. Yes for preclerkship
2. No, 18 months + 1 year clinical + rest of time for 4th year electives/aways/interviews/vacation
3. Both
4. Mostly recorded

Class is like 150-160
Rotations either at UVA or Inova (in Fairfax)
Laidback

 

[DollyB]

just withdrew my acceptance here guys! best of luck to everyone on the waitlist!!

 

[here2help]

Has anyone else not gotten anything about financial aid?? I’m not sure if I’m missing something or just not looking in the right place

 

[AlejandroRojas]

So, if I have not yet received any merit-based scholarship emails/letters, and my SIS portal only shows a direct unsubsidized loan at this point, does this mean that I am not going to receive any merit-based aid whatsoever?

Also, does anyone know what factors are considered when determining how much merit-based aid a student receives? Is it mostly based on MCAT/GPA, or is it more dependent on softer factors like research contributions or involvement in community service, etc.?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

 

[Ama4]

Would have loved to attend UVA, withdrawing right now though, hope you all enjoy your time there.

 

[confused2266]

Anyone know when WL movement starts at UVA? The website said mid-June but that seems kinda late...

 

[yeetbelikethat]

That’s what I was thinking, it does seem really late considering other schools are experiencing lots of movement

 

[lalalallala]

Pretty sure it will start early/mid May once they know how many people are in the class and can review apps. It makes sense for them to have the website be very conservative with dates so people don't call and ask them what's up

 

[confused2266]

Anyone else get that email from UVA? Does that mean that their class is full right now...?

 

[SearedPancake]

Late last week I was told the class is full, based on this email I'd assume it's still full but approaching the class size.

 

[here2help]

It saddened me greatly, but I just withdrew my A. I hope you guys see some WL movement soon! Good luck :’)

+1

 

[rva all day]

I would bet they're meeting today since they always met on Fridays during interview season

 

[yeetbelikethat]

Or not I guess. Man it’s really quiet in here

 

[confused2266]

Has anyone called the admissions office recently? I'm wondering whether there has been any movement

 

[lalalallala]

If you look at last year's thread there weren't WL posts until the Thursday or Friday after 4/30

 

[wvnc32]

Accepted off the wait list today for the Inova Fairfax campus

LizzyM 78, OOS

 

[redmon17]

Any other WL movement?

 

[heartranger797]

Accepted off waitlist for the Charlottesville campus today

 

[soclocgroup8]

I was offered a spot off the waitlist yesterday. Does anyone know if I can find out about my potential financial aid package before Monday when I have to make a decision?

 

[FutureDoc1130]

Have all these recent waitlist movement been people that are IS or OOS?

 

[mariposas905]

When was the UVA CTE deadline?

 

[swalke60]

And do you guys knows if the class is full? anyone offered a position recently?

Looking at the Facebook page, no new members have been added in the past ~week or so. I emailed admissions before the CTE date of a different school, and they said that withdrawals and offers can continue until early August. However, nothing definitive (kind of frustrating given CTE deadlines at other schools).

 

[swalke60]

Thanks for lmk. This is what I don't get; I called them today to ask the same thing and they said that people that CTE'd can also withdraw and move the WL further. But how is this possible? I thought people with CTE can't withdraw like that?

That is odd given the AMCAS def of “Commit to Enroll.” Maybe it is withdrawals for personal reasons rather than for attending different schools; life happens, and those spots need filled. It benefits those on the WL without other options, but those who have/had other offers are kind of out of luck if there was an early-July CTE deadline at those schools. July 1 was the date for UVA, btw, according to the admissions site’s timeline.

Deferments, not meeting all prerequisite requirements, fellowship awards requiring a year also

 

[swalke60]

I def agree - this whole CTE deadlines being different at other schools has really caused a lot of stress this cycle. I have no idea what AAMC was thinking.

So the admissions representative told me it was July 10th at UVA for CTE? Anyone who can confirm this?

I agree. If they are trying to do more Common App-like admissions with AAMC, then deadlines need to match too (or closer). I would love to attend UVA, but I am not willing to jeopardize matriculating at all at a different but good school. A physician who I have shadowed and been guided by was telling me about how one of his undergrad friends intended to go to one school, but was then offered off the WL during orientation and switched. I doubt that could happen anymore (not that it is ideal anyways), and that is probably why they are trying to mess with all these deadlines now. No system is going to be perfect, though.
