In 20 minutes ago via phone call. Came w/ a $90,000 scholarship. That Cordel Faulk guy was reeealllllyyy nice, really made a great impression for UVA!

Btw, I am OOS, and a while back in this thread (I am too lazy to search), I was told that given my non-Virginia residency, I should give up hope, sit back, and await my inevitable WL. To that person, you can go shove your foot in your mouf, because that's where it belongs.

Ok submitted 9/27 and still "File Complete, Pending Review/Decision" since 11/4. The fact that so many people who submitted after me have heard back is making me concerned that my file fell off of a desk into a trash can or something...

I guess I won't give up then yet....though it's getting really rough waiting!

Yeah, sometimes I feel that way about mine as well since I have also had the "File Complete, Pending Review/Decision" for almost 2 months. You could email and ask when they think they might be reaching a decision on your file (in a nice way). Maybe that would help ease your mind that they have your materials, not sure how helpful that would be.

2 months?!? Pssshhh. Try 4 months (I got in though!)

I received a call from UVA around 7 PM today and talked to Mr. Cordel Faulk.
(who, like the previous poster said, was delightful!)
Verdict: Admitted with $75,000 scholarship.
Submit date mid-November. Out of state applicant, both numbers below median. Regular Decision.
Over-joyed by this. =)

Good-luck to those still waiting!

holy shit. OOS, RD, both numbers below median, and you were admitted with a substantial scholarship? ...How?

Edit: But congrats. That's incredible.

I'd like to say it was the resume & a strong personal statement,
but--if we're being frank--it was probably a lot of luck.
(Non-URM applicant, in case people were wondering.)

Congratulations! Your story gives hope to millions.

If we didn't hear about merit scholarship when we received our call, when might we hear something about it??

Dear UVA,

How can I book airfare for ASW if you don't admit me? Help a guy out.

I was not told about any scholarship over the phone. Those who received scholarships were told over the phone so, at best, negotiating is the only option, I believe. On the other hand, the Dean mentioned that my application had just been finished so I am holding out hope for a miracle.

Got mine in the mail, not in the call. Your file will say "Scholarship Letter" if you're getting one (at this time).

Eh...mine still says "congratulations!"
