Try not to beat yourself up!
1) UMN has been WL'ing a lot strong applicants it seems. Could be Yield Protection
2) Go on the UVA waitlist. There's a great chance you'll get pulled off.

If it makes u feel better my cousin was treated for frostbite the other day. She goes to UMN and they were told not to be outside for more than 10 min. That's no way to live. Plus UVA may consider if u send them a nice LOCI.
