Yeah I don't even care that I may end up getting an R in the end, I've been hit with a few pre-II R's this past month and really needed a mental boost.

If they gave you the II they obviously think you're a good enough candidate regardless of what you think of your stats. I got the A with nowhere near the stats 90% of these guys have so if you're just yourself you will be fine 🙂

ACCEPTED!!! Interviewed this week, in shock because UVA this is at the top of my list.
I want to add that this was my 13th interview and I truly felt UVA has the most inclusive and collaborative environment I’ve seen throughout my interviews. Such a fantastic place!

I’m trying to be more optimistic! Haha

super late to the party because i only just got a SDN account but i interviewed the week of 10/19/20 and was accepted that very same friday at 11am!! My older sister was also accepted the Friday after her interview at 11am back when she was applying a few years ago so i think that's the standard affair with UVA. They are seriously such homies for that LOL.
also i am OOS 🙂
also i am OOS 🙂
Seriously after waiting for several months post-interview at other schools it feels amazing to have a school just get down to business, stop futzing around, and actually give me a straight answer. Especially since it was a yes!!

right?? like it seriously was such a +1 for UVA in my book like "okay, wow, so you guys respect me and my time and my mental health. love you, too." 😂😍
Sorry if this has been asked but do they accept pre-II letter of interest? No major update but just love the school.

Anyone have any idea on how many IIs/what percent of IIs are left to be handed out at UVA?
II today, IS (and went there for undergrad) complete 7/26.

Supposedly UVA medicine has had an uptick of 35% applicants this cycle. Not sure if these are complete secondary applications, but still a scary increase lol.
This is pretty consistent from most schools I’ve heard from. Probably because interviews are all virtual
That and people probably thought this cycle would be more lenient due to COVID

Interviewed on tuesday and accepted today! OOS
Likely this. We thought this cycle might be easier for residency apps too and it's turning out to be the opposite because literally everyone thought that, and no one took a year off to do research and weather covid and apply next year like we thought they would

II today! IS, ORM, completed in July.
amazing!! you just gave me some hope as I was completed in July and am really hoping to get an interview!
Stats?
II this morning! Complete 8/13, 518 MCAT, 3.88 cGPA, 3.80 sGPA, OOS. Interview dates were all early Feb
I have a question: I was working on a combined update/interest letter (2 new volunteering experiences), and I am not sure if I should still go ahead and upload it now that I actually got an II? I believe the interview is open-file, so maybe I should? Or are these experiences something that I can just bring up during the interview if it becomes relevant to the conversation? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you! And good luck to everyone - it is extremely difficult to keep waiting but apparently IIs are still going out, so don't lose hope!

I recommend that you mention it during the interview if it comes up or if they ask "anything else?" and to ask if they can add that to the file/make sure it's noted
II just now! complete late July, IS

Did everyone send thank you notes post interview? I can’t find my interviewers’ emails on the website
I did not (also couldn't find emails) and I got the A.
Does anyone know what day it starts/ if orientation is required etc? Starting to eye moving dates etc

Man y'all be talking about orientation and post-interview thank you's and move-ins and all that, and I'm here still praying for that II from UVA haha 🤣🤣🤣.

We started orientation on August 5th, so my best guess is that your orientation would begin on August 4th. And yes, orientation is required.

background check email? I still didn't receive that email
Stats?
Thats right.
Accepted back in 2006 and they were speedy with responses back then too.
I sill am proud whenever I tell people where I went to med school. Plus Charlottesville is a really nice place. Lots of good memories.

Not gonna lie, this with the laughing reactions was pretty funny.
Just got the A! OOS, interviewed a couple days ago
Hey now, giving out stats is risky. One day you release your gpa/mcat scores, the next shifty SDN lurkers are sipping pina coladas in Bermuda using your identity.

Super random but does anyone here feel that gpa beyond a certain value doesn’t matter as much, just bc it’s so easy to pad? Like taking the right classes, right major, right professor, playing it “safe” etc. And obviously depends on school, rigor of courses, major/s, minor/s, everything. Just been thinking about this for a while.

I have not seen one yet
Don't those usually form later on with matriculating students? Like "U of X class of 20YY" groups.
Have there been any post-II IS R's?
