2. What about your individual background, perspective, or experience will serve as a source of strength for you or those around you at UVA? Feel free to write about any past experience or part of your background that has shaped your perspective and will be a source of strength, including but not limited to those related to your community, upbringing, educational environment, race, gender, or other aspects of your background that are important to you. (350 word limit)

This seems somewhat distinct from a traditional diversity prompt, I have identity and community experiences that fit this topic, but I discus them at length in my PS, meanwhile my canned diversity statement focuses on experiences I've had through work. I think this seems to specifically be asking for identity factors rather than experiential, would it be reasonable to talk about those identity factors again in response to this or should I talk about work even though it is a little off target given the specific wording?

can we refer to the school as UVSOM?

they refer to themselves like once as UVA SOM? I also think just UVA would probably work (that's what I did and am hoping it's fine :)) )

Are we supposed to get any sort of confirmation email after submitting the Virginia In-state Educational Privileges form? I just want to know they got it especially since we are getting close to when IIs are sent

I called them the day after sending mine and they said they had received it, I never saw a confirmation email

this school and dartmouth are instances I've seen where they have a file upload option for CV/resume. do we need to be uploading that? it doesn't explicitly ask and it lets me submit without uploading a CV/resume.

thanks.

What is the best way to approach the second short answer? Is writing a brief description of each activity too much?
 
Any thoughts on the post II acceptance rate? Looking online, some sources say 78%+, others say it's more like 50/50.

When do yall think when the next IIs will be sent out?
 
I just submitted my secondary, and it says my MCAT score wasn't received. Are we supposed to send our scores manually to UVA? I thought it would send automatically from AMCAS

No need to send them manually, they should be sent automatically. Just give it a few days to update and reach out to UVA if it does not after a week or so.
 
Any other in state applicants still waiting on II? This is stressful 😟

I didn't apply to this school since I thought it was out of my MCAT/GPA range (516/3.9), but reading the beginning of this thread, it seems like they are moving to a more holistic approach. Since they are sending out IIs now would it be too late to apply?

if we submitted the secondary the first day it came out and haven't heard back yet, does that most likely mean we've been passed over here? I really like the school :(

My friend, I totally understand the worry. However, UVA sends interviews all the way through January! They don’t go in order. Take a look at last year’s data. I drew an arrow to show where we are… and keep in mind CycleTrack likely has an earlier interview bias.
