yay, michigan.

I dunno, all I've heard from Mich in 3+ months since going complete is that "yeah it's been a while, har har" email they sent out early last month. I mean that's more than what I've gotten from UVA since early November, so Mich is winning this in my book, but not by that much.

That super thoughtful Michigan WL email definitely won me over.

It would be a bit of a bummer to be a UVA admissions officer reading this page.

Yeah, but they have to realize that aggressive yield protection is the bane of applicants.

Is this "aggressive"? UVA's cycle seems pretty reasonable compared to a few years ago when it was virtually impossible to get in without in-state or ED.

I'm looking forward to seeing (if it can ever be known) if this years idiosyncrasies are the result of a clever approach to the down cycle, or clueless fumbling in the face of a weird cycle. But I don't see anything too blatant, tbh.

Interview request last night.

Do UVA interviews mean you have a great shot at being accepted, or are they more a 50/50 just-give-the-applicant-a-chance type thing?

Maybe not. I was more going off reputation than the actual numbers so far this cycle. Still, even moderate YP is no fun for applicants (especially splitters).

People who have interviewed seem to have a high rate of acceptance.

[Lightworks]

Going off the spreadsheets (granted, not a perfect sample), it seems like just about everyone who gets interviewed is accepted, as long as their numbers are solid.

Prove that you're serious about UVA, and I think you've got it

Testify!

Just got a "please bear with us" email from UVA. Wondering how widely this was sent out

[NOLAboy]

Did anyone else just get that mysterious "please bear with us" email from admissions??

I just got it too. Lol did someone from admissions read this thread and panic about how mad people are?

yes, and nothing mysterious about it really (see similar correspondence from Mich); I wonder if our bickering ITT was part of what motivated them to reach out

"whoooops time for a little damage control!"

[jbudz]

Yep got that same email. Thought it was a WL message, but it's not.... in any case it's very bizarre. But hey, I guess it keeps UVA at the front of our minds so we don't just move on to other schools?

[supersplittysplitter]

just got the "bear with us" aka precursor to a WL email :/ UMich sent a very similar email a few weeks ago

First I've heard from UVA in about 4+ months though so I appreciate the gesture

[gilessanderson]

[betty_bojangles]

I also just got one. Applied back in November..

[cafecreme15]

Got one as well. It seems like many schools are slower this year than in years past...someone correct me if I'm wrong though.

[wonka]

let us all fall down and cry.

i got the email, too. submitted 1/1.

[ticklemesilly]

I think the question is has anyone not gotten the email?

[yot11]

Is this a joke? I didn't even get the "bear with us" email. I submitted in September O.o

GOT IT JUST NOW F*CK YEAH
