I got my packet over a week after being accepted. I did get an email telling me it was on the way though.
I've never received an acceptance email or an email indicating my package is on the way. Guess ill wait awhile then email them.
That might mean they haven't made a decision yet...? Either that or check your spam folder?

Im in on the status checker and the FB group hah

Phone interview recently. Almost completely blanked on why UVA and where I see myself in 4 years. Felt like the rest went pretty solid though so I'm hopeful.

Just watched the Cavalier Marching Band in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Cue hype overdrive.

In following interview! Got my UVA hype package in the mail too. Does anyone know how long it takes to hear back about financial aid?

Not sure - I was accepted in mid-October and have not yet heard about financial aid.

Congrats!! Do you mind sharing when you applied and your stats (you can PM me if you feel more comfortable doing that)? Also did you receive the initial decision via email?

Not sure if this was meant for me, too, but my stats are 175/3.7, applied in early October. I would definitely recommend looking at the 2015-2016 admissions spreadsheets for aggregated data, too.

I think if you don't get a Dillard, it takes until February/March?

Do you know if that means they let you know by Feb/March at the latest or you won't hear back until then? I know I'm not in the running for a Dillard. Thanks!

Keep in mind that the average times on UVA for both interviews and acceptances are going to be heavily skewed by those of us who applied early.

Best of luck!

I'm just hoping for a confirmation email from when I sent my app in on the 12th.... >.< >.<

+1. My wait time was a week or so longer than the spreadsheet suggested and I applied in late October

A number of us were interviewed and accepted within hours or days of applying, so those averages are going to be off for later applicants.

I would try to contact them about this, because I submitted everything on 11/23 (a Sunday) and got the confirmation email and application status checker link the next morning.

Thanks, woodchuck! I actually emailed them the day before Thanksgiving. Holly, the Assistant Director of Admissions (who is super nice!), just replied to me today with my login credentials. She reset my password and said that the confirmation email had been sent on the 13th and that I should check my spam.

The email was actually never sent to me (nor diverted to my spam), so if other people are in a similar situation, you may just have to contact admissions directly! Happy to say though that my file is now UR. Now, the wait...!

Not necessarily the case. I didn't get a Dillard but got a decent chunk of money with my acceptance letter

Do folks know if one necessarily has to get an interview before hearing back from UVa? Any word on applicants who got accepted without one?
