Wait, isn’t early March next week? They only have 1 interview day/slot available for next week?

I guess so, it was the only option I saw on the interview calendar, maybe they’ll add more as the week goes on

Called admissions today and they said they're probably only scheduling interviews through early March.

Did they say they were still sending out IIs or are they done/about done?

Sounded like they said they were still sending out IIs. I say "sounded" because that's what I called about and she said yes, but when I asked about interview date scheduling she said it would likely only be through early march

Idk if this is a dumb question but I keep seeing SMD20, SMD23, SMD24 for the class cohorts here. What does the ‘S’ stand for lol? Student?

I've been here 4 years and none of us know what it means or where it came from. My guess is "School of MeDicine class of.."

School of MDs class of...?

I think it's time for me to give up hope for UVA . LM 74 and IS.
It was my absolute top choice dream school, but I haven't heard anything even after sending an update letter. Really bummed about it but c'est la vie...

Maybe a handful of final IIs but I have to imagine their final pre-II R wave is coming by the end of the week

 

[DilNyethescienceguy]

Just out of curiosity, when you say "final" pre-II R wave, do you mean to imply that there were previous waves as well?

Great point, thanks for calling that out. I should have just said one pre-II R wave as that was my experience when I last applied but I thought I remembered seeing some pre-II Rs early in the cycle on last year's thread. Anyway, I have not seen nor heard of any previous pre-II R waves here.

 

[DilNyethescienceguy]

Gotcha, no worries. I just had a little glimpse of hope there in thinking I had survived some R waves, lol.

You know I still had to throw up that Hail Mary pre-II LOI just now in any case. Pray that ya boy's got some Aaron Rodgers in him. 🙏

Wishing you the best as a fellow Pack fan!

Not sure, but from all I’ve heard, sending anything at this point would sound very desperate and maybe disgenuine. If there was a chance at all, it could potentially be destructive.

I don't think pre-II LOI's do much and I doubt it would have such an adverse effect, but my opinion is worth less than the seasonings at your dinner table.

 

[aminoacid97]

If I haven't received an interview invite by now, is it safe to say that isn't happening?

 

[theendisnigh]

Oddly, the schools I sent letters of interest and a letter of intent to I got R's, the schools I didn't send anything to I got II's. It's been a weird cycle.

 

[GeraltofNVIDIA]

For those of us on the WL, when do you think a good time for an update/LOI would be?

 

[aspiringdoctor9701]

I wonder if UVA individually rejects end of cycle or just sends a massive R wave once to applicants? It looks like it’s staggered from previously cycles with 2/3 R waves, but curious if interviews are sent in that interim as well but just haven’t been reported.

 

[Rheopecty]

Pre-II R. Complete 9/14.

 

[aspiringdoctor9701]

Pre-II R from this amazing school, dang it. Complete 11/2.

Pre-II R. Good luck to all those on the WL!

 

[doktoralya]

Pre-II R, complete mid August

 

[aspiringdoctor9701]

If I may ask, are these rolling out, or were they all this morning? Best of luck to everyone.

I’m thinking they might be in alphabetical order... anyone confirm or deny this theory?

Busy day. Need-based scholarships being sent today

for virginia? I thought that wasnt until like april?

 

[MedicalStudent2021]

for virginia? I thought that wasnt until like april?

YES! I talked with the fin aid office last week and they said need-based aid will be sent within the next 2 weeks, and merit-based probably late March/early April.

 

[theatrics98]

YES! I talked with the fin aid office last week and they said need-based aid will be sent within the next 2 weeks, and merit-based probably late March/early April.

I thought the priority deadline was March 15th?

 

[MedicalStudent2021]

I thought the priority deadline was March 15th?

No idea what this has to do with them sending aid packages before the 15th. I'm only telling you folks what they said during the call.

 

[JAK/No stat]

Any current MS at UVA I can PM?

 

[rep_the_don]

Pre-II R, complete August

 

[aspiringdoctor9701]

Man all these pre-II Rs 😢, me included haha. I sent so many love letters to UVA with updates, resume, descriptions of activities, academic fluctuation/time off etc. This really was a one sided love affair I guess, but that makes it sting all the more.

 

[thunderstorm1824]

Pre-II R, complete late July. Good luck y'all!

 

[breezys16]

Has anyone heard about financial aid?

 

[MedStudent10001]

Any current MS at UVA I can PM?

I am an MS1, feel free to PM me! Also, @UNMedGa is an MS4 that is pretty active here, so I'm sure they'd be happy to speak as well.

 

[rdrozays]

I love how they put the line in the rejection email assuring me that my “credentials and qualifications were thoroughly considered”

make no mistake, we know exactly what you bring to the table and please take this R personally. 😂

 

[ApolloRed]

Pre-II R.

 

[igims]

PreII R as well!

 

[inkpen]

Oooh me too, me too! Pre-II R. Honestly, it's relieving to know the decision - waiting is hard. Good luck to everyone else
