Waitlisted today. Above both 75ths and wrote why UVA. Will probably be withdrawing, since there's no shot at getting $$$ off the WL, right? In any case, best of luck to everyone still in!

Did anyone submit their "Why UVA" addendum significantly after sending in their application? I applied back in September and feel like I should do something to reinforce my interest!

I think there was a guy a few pages back who did just that. He got an interview a few days later and an acceptance a bit after that. That's just one person.... but if what you send is well written, and you are a good candidate, I don't think it would hurt.

iirc someone in this thread did and had good results. i think it was decided that absolutely yes, send it whenever you write it because it can only help, and with UVA it can help a lot.

I submitted 11/18, heard nothing for months. Sent a Why UVA in mid-February, got an interview and an acceptance a couple days later.

Definitely worth a shot.

For the people getting waitlisted - email or status checker?

Email for me. I got the email yesterday, and there's nothing on the status checker yet.

I'm thinking of sending UVA a list of all the other schools that have accepted me. It seems that asking them to make a decision on the merits of my application is too much; I think this further information is what they really need to complete their holistic evaluation of my application.

Submitted a Why UVA with my app, so the helpless waiting is just ugh.

Me too. My Why UVA was BS-y and rushed though, so I almost wish I hadn't submitted one and waited until I got held, then submitted one that was decent.

They'll holistically YP you on the spot.

That'd be pretty dumb.

Could be wrong but ... It sounded like a joke to me.

I even thought mine was genuine.

In your defense, it could've been sincere, and it still wouldn't have been the worst idea I have read on TLS.

You wouldn't feel dumb right now if you had brazenly ignored any potential context, projected whatever negativity you wanted onto his post, and just blindly scorned him for his stupidity.

You'd feel satisfied and powerful. But now you feel dumb. See where empathy gets us?!

Jesus, calm down.
