How important is it to write a why UVA essay? I would love to go there, but I won't be able to visit until after I have applied and hopefully been accepted. I want to practice in DC, which is primarily why I want to apply there.

Should I risk not writing one or risk it coming off as insincere since I haven't visited?

Write it; it're really important. Look at the website and pick out a few things you like, then just get it done.

Thanks, that's what I was planning on doing. Just wanted some reassurance.

Are you a VA resident? Are you planning to ED?

Chances of getting in are very, very low. I would put the why UVA essay at the end of your to do list, after laundry, and having fun.

Why it is really important? I don't see any indication of a why essay in the instruction. If I am going to write it, include in the addenda?

So it is better to write an why essay for every school I apply?

Everything except the T6. They know why you want to go.
