Finally applied this week, just waiting on my Dec. score to arrive so my app can go under review.

Congrats! When did you apply and was this a RD admit?

I am assuming non-URM?

UVA admit here! Heard back on the 19th of December and very excited about it! Didn't think I would have much of a chance with my GPA (3.4) but I think I was strong in most other areas.

RD. Went complete 10/6. Non-URM.

Just got denied.

Anyone know anything in regards to UVA starting to average multiple LSATS?

You were dinged, not just WLed? What was your Why UVA like? Do you have C&F issues?

That makes no sense........given your stats and residency, I'm sure a lot more rejections are coming down the pipeline.

Uh oh, I'm not a VA resident, but I have similar stats (also multi LSAT)

When did you apply? Did you get the UCR status change in December?

I just got denied via e-mail too although my credentials aren't nearly as strong as yours so I'm not really surprised. i'm sorry but your numbers are so strong that i'm sure you're going to end up somewhere great. good luck to everyone still waiting

incase people are curious:
3.75/163 (scored SIGNIFICANTLY below my practice tests on my LSAT and i'm still beating myself up over it)
non-URM
submitted 11/6 and received confirmation e-mail 11/9

I went complete early November but still haven't heard back. 174/3.8x.

Is it YP like Michigan? Do I still have a chance?

Yield Protection: Some schools deny applicants with high numbers because they do not think they will attend if admitted; the school seeks to protect its high yield rate (attending students/ admitted students) in order to boast it in admissions materials.

High yield AND lower acceptance rate. Also, "selectivity" is a slight component of USNWR ranking I believe... Something trivial like 2.5%

also, for those of you who are religious status checkers, the rejection was also relayed there although i didn't see it until after i had already received the e-mail

Wait, you guys today were rejected? Not even waitlisted? That is surprising.

just dinged via email, RD, 167 3.37 mexican, didn't have much of a shot here anyway. non resident.

ding. meh

ugh, sorry to hear that guys...

what were your complete dates?

Wow. This is just shocking and puzzling.

Pretty good chance I fax the ED contract to UVA in a couple of weeks and I'm really hoping they don't waitlist or reject me before that.
