An update to your application is fine. I always encourage sending a Why UVA if you didn't with your application and haven't heard back. Also encourage sending in substantive updates whenever possible. A LOCI is a different animal, and only makes sense if the adcomms don't already assume that your interest is still present.NoDayButToday wrote:RCO2012 wrote:Only appropriate after being waitlisted.

I mean, if you didn't submit a Why UVA, I could see it being alright...but be extremely brief and if possible combine it with a substantive update (promotion, fall semester grades, etc.)

Re: UVA c/o 2017 Applicants (2013-2014 cycle)
Yes, email attachment to the general admissions email address. I don't think how you refer to it will have any significant impact, but I lean on the side of using as few acronyms as possible when communicating with admissions. I think I titled mine Why the University of Virginia School of Law in my application. You could just call it Why the University of Virginia. Like I said, probably no significant impact either way.BerkeleyMan5 wrote:I just wrote my why UVA--I submitted early January. I'm guessing it would be best to send it as an email attachment, rather than the actual text of an email?NoDayButToday wrote:An update to your application is fine.

Also, would it be appropriate to simply refer to it as a "Why UVA" essay in the actual email body?
Sorry for all the questions. TIA!

I applied mid-September and just received an interview invitation a little over a week ago. I'm sure your interview invitations are coming soon.

For those who've received interview requests, did you write a Why UVA?

Re: UVA c/o 2017 Applicants (2013-2014 cycle)
In. I can't even believe it.
Complete 11/5, Stats at both 75ths.
Here's the weird part: no interview. No phone at all. Just an email, (I don't want to out myself so I'll paraphrase) very casually saying that I'm now an admitted student of UVA Law. I did include "Why UVA" in my personal statement, but the no interview part seems unprecedented this cycle and really took me off guard

Checking in late (LSAC-complete two weeks ago). 168/3.9x, not very confident given some of the data points ITT. I did write a Why UVA and I have some WE, so perhaps that will help.
