Hi secretbeard,I'm attending. Looking forward to meeting everyone!
I included UVA in my second round of applications. Finished application in mid-February, interviewed in early March, waitlisted the next week, accepted March 20. So, pretty rapid timeline from application to acceptance for me, but it was also the very end of the cycle.
DPUpostbac14 - "there was something just slightly off about it to me." That made me CQTM. I'm curious where you're from. Being from Virginia my whole life, then living elsewhere for a while, I've come to realize that much of what I knew from Virginia was a little off.
Just throwing it out there, I'll be back in Virginia in early May. I'll probably drive up for some house-hunting in mid to late May. While I'm not set on living with Post-Bacc cohorts, knowing my roommates will understand the heavy study days, exam recovery nights, etc. is appealing. So, if anyone wants to start the room/roommate conversation, I may be in a position to help.
Hi secretbeard,
I don't want to really give away my location but I will say I am from out west. I have spent a significant time within/around the Midwest and living in major cities for my undergraduate years. C-Ville seems like a great, small city but ultimately, the cons were that it seemed a little bubble like to me, and there was a huge lack of diversity that i'm used to (to be fair, my undergraduate institution plays diversity the f up, so that could be a thing to me) and personality-wise I just didn't seem to fit in with the rest of the program and/or people that are found in/around UVa. Ultimately I think that the professors and admissions committee saw that as well. However, I think Charlottesville is an adorable small city and the program is outstanding.
Ultimately, I got into a couple programs that are a better fit for me-- but I hope you find someone to rom with! I haev a current student's contact info if you need to talk to somoene, as he gave his email to the lot of us. He might know someone you could room with.
