So about scholarships... does everyone who gets the Dillard get notified immediately? When do they start announcing other scholarships?

I'm not sure about your first question but other scholarships are scheduled to be announced in February (but in the past they have been released as early as January).

I think that a lot of Dillards go out with other schollies in late February. A few are announced with acceptance.

Has anyone posted common interview questions or prepping advice? /does there seem to be an average time for notification after an interview

I think most of the interview questions have been nuked.

For your other question, please see the spreadsheet

Why were all of the questions removed/"nuked"?

Because we knew too much.

hate to keep asking questions that have already been asked, but the thread has been drained of information.

Is there any consensus on wait time between an acceptance and scholly info??

Most scholarships won't come out until January/february

For people asking about scholarship timelines, last year there was very little in the way of a pattern. Some people got it with admission - I waited a few months. Some people got phone calls - I got a letter. I wouldn't think about it too much.

Thoughts on RD'ing now vs ED'ing at the end of December?

Does the "Why UVA" have to be amazing, or is it just enough to write one to avoid YP? I've never visited so I'm worried the essay won't be as detailed or personal as they may want

I haven't visited either and it didn't hurt me. I focused on their clinics and other programmatic offerings and talked about how they aligned with my interests and goals.

3.4/172 in-state. not sure if in-state vs OOS helps. i have seen conflicting things online.

I didn't write a "why UVA" but then again a huge part of my PS was directed at "Why UVA." I just talked about sitting in on a class there and my visit etc.
