Not 100% yet--hell, I'm not saying anything is 100% until I get the packet in the mail though (it may be just a dream )--but I will probably be at the ASW on March 27. May not get there in time for the Thursday events, but definitely for Friday.

My mom is coming with me (lame I know, but she's not going to anything but a tour and maybe the session for parents/spouses). I think I'm also going to try and go to Monticello on Saturday and maybe a vineyard if possible while I'm in the area.

Rating: (Predicted) 2.75 The PILA Charity Date Auction combines nearly everything that makes us angry; paying for drinks during February, paying for sex, but not receiving any because it's "for charity", paying for other students to go on a summer soul journey courtesy of PILA where they work at the Puppy Defender's Office or some other ridiculous charity that takes money from people with real jobs and helps poor people get out of jail because the cop wasn't nice enough to them, and hearing people involved in PILA say anything.

It's like PILA has a committee whose job it is to come up with bad ideas because they consistently manage to do worse and worse. The last two years they subjected us to terrible law student karaoke and professors who think they are funny, now this year they hit us with this Date Auction crap. The entire premise of this auction is awful. First of all, Law students are both being auctioned and the one's purchasing people? Who wants to buy someone who sits in the library all day and then drinks all night. Everyone is either pale from lack of sunlight or yellow from liver poisoning. Also, Everyone already knows everyone else. If you see someone from the law school that you want to ask out then just do it. The only people that would legitimately purchase someone are the really creepy dudes that drool in class when a girl in the front row bends over to plug in her laptop. PILA is just acting as a middle man for people who are too afraid to talk to others in real life. How do they think these dates are going to go? PILA should provide some sort of escort to make sure their auctionees don't end up killed and dropped in a river.

Does a larger admissions packet with more information/instructions and a viewbook come later?

It's been two months for me, and the only letter I've received is the acceptance letter.

This $400 travel subsidy is pretty sweet, does everyone get it for just applying?

1. Submit first Seat Deposit of $500 with "first deposit card" by April 30
2. Submit second Seat Deposit of $500 with "second deposit card" by June 15
3. Send final transcript with confirmation of degree directly to the law school (NOT to or through LSAC and the LSDAS) by August 1

Am I missing anything? Also, is this the address that we should have our transcript sent to:

University of Virginia School of Law
Office of Admissions
580 Massie Road
Charlottesville, VA 22903-1738

Yep, yep for the deposits and transcript. I sent in my deposit money (both) a couple of weeks ago. There was a slight delay cashing the checks because they were transitioning to a new system (they were nice and emailed me about it) but it's all taken care of now.

On the other hand, I just really messed up my UVA finaid app yesterday so I need to talk to them about that.

What are the first and second deposit cards?

They are PDF files you print out, sign, and include with your deposit check. Go to the AdmitWeb site, click on Financial aid, and there are links for both of them there.
