I didn't get any response.

Is there any sense that merit aid will be available to those who get in off the waitlist? It seems that for YP purposes, once an offer is made it's in UVA's interest to ensure WL'd folks matriculate. Any idea if this has held up in the past/will this year?
They count if the formerly WL'ed applicant matriculates into the school.DipNote wrote:Can it be true that waitlist numbers don't count for UNSWR? Seems like more would game the system this way, if so.
called the school and spoke w Dean Richards today and she said that if you get in off the waitlist you do not qualify for merit aid.DipNote wrote:BigZuck wrote:They already protected their yield by waitlisting in the first place, no? I don't follow your reasoning.DipNote wrote:Hi all!

Hmm - I'm thinking about a case of those who may have been waitlisted for YP, but:
1) Demonstrate interest
2) Have offers at slightly lower T14s (some with $)
3) Have numbers circa median

Ouch. That hurts. UVA--we are showing you the love--show some love to us!Mack12 wrote:

on a similar note...tuition is officially going to the board for approval at 52,900 for non residents. double ouch. Here's something to take away the sting though!RedGiant wrote:Ouch. That hurts. UVA--we are showing you the love--show some love to us!Mack12 wrote:

Does that mean that need based aid is available?Mack12 wrote:called the school and spoke w Dean Richards today and she said that if you get in off the waitlist you do not qualify for merit aid.DipNote wrote:BigZuck wrote:They already protected their yield by waitlisting in the first place, no?

Called to check on the merit aid thing and the person who answered said that it's not necessary a policy but that usually by that time, there isn't much money left to be given as merit aid... So definitely withdrawing since I won't get need based aid either.

If waiting through this cycle has taught me anything, it's that law school admissions offices have a very different definition of what a "week" is.TorturedApplicant wrote:Has anyone received a "weekly update" since 4/11?
It's like a baker's dozen to these people.bananasplit19 wrote:If waiting through this cycle has taught me anything, it's that law school admissions offices have a very different definition of what a "week" is.TorturedApplicant wrote:Has anyone received a "weekly update" since 4/11?
But then people can stay double deposited until May 17. So I guess after that they'll really have an idea of the class and start pulling people off it.bananasplit19 wrote:Looks like last year's deposit deadline was 4/30 as well. A wave of acceptances off the WL followed on 5/2, which is this coming Thursday this year.
Speculating, but I'm expecting a WL-update e-mail on Tuesday or Wednesday, followed by (knock on wood!) good news for a lucky few on Thursday or Friday.
This is true but the imminence of all these 4/26, 4/30, and 5/1 deadlines is catalyzing a lot of peeps into making a decision, or at least narrowing their options down. If you check out all the CCN MVPDB threads you'll see a lot of people mention withdrawing (I know I just withdrew from three of them). So hopefully that translates into some good news for ya'll soon, with probably more good news to come after the May 17th deadline.danitt wrote:But then people can stay double deposited until May 17.
