Where does one buy furniture in Charlottesville?

[pipipipi]

I have been UR1 since 12/1.....no movement for three whole months.
am i alone?

nah, at least a few of us have been ghosted since November

And October

aaand September. I'm so checked out of UVA by this point though.

Glad that we are not alone. LOL

How are rest of the cycles going for you guys?
So far, UVA and Berkeley are total radio silence for me.
Splitter here.

Admitted a month ago with a 3.87 and 168, but haven't heard anything on the fin aid end. Michigan offered a $90K dean's scholarship, but I really love UVA and hoping for an offer of some sort... Any idea what my chances are either based on personal experience or knowledge from previous years?

Thank you all so much!

You should be able to negotiate and get a match! Things have been crazy this cycle -- I was offered $$ from UVA but nothing from Michigan, but the admissions package did say they take aid from peer schools into account, and I'm sure UVA would do the same since they're comparably ranked. You should definitely ask them. Other people seem to have had luck!

I hope you're right, but I seriously doubt it. If you look at the numbers, Michigan gives aid to a significantly higher number of matriculants than UVA. That being said, I will certainly be trying to use my Michigan offer to get UVA to match. If that happened, I'd be in Charlottesville for sure come August.

Mine came with my acceptance package last Monday

[joeytribbiani]

Sorry if this has been mentioned, but do acceptance packages come via UPS? Just got a notification that I have a UPS package but I haven't ordered anything so I'm trying to decide what it is instead of doing work.

+1. Was fantastic - got accepted on a Monday, package showed up like 2 days later

Anyone have any advice about scholarship negotiation here? The question is whether to wait for more scholarships to come in for negotiation purposes, or use the one peer offer I have now. UVA offered me a scholarship, but Michigan offered me one which more than doubles it. Still waiting on scholarship info from Berkeley, and Penn, which hasn't been sent out yet, as well as Duke which I should be receiving any day now. Is it better to play the card I have now before scholarship funds dry out, or wait to see if I can get a better overall hand to bolster the case I should receive a match?

UVA's really my top choice, but not sure it's financially viable for me with what moneys on the table

Confirmed: Sending a why uva after youve been ghosted is a good idea! Haha

Got wait listed does anyone know what the probability of actually getting in is? I've read a few articles that say it differs every year, but not sure if it's steadied in the past couple of years? Like how genuine are they when saying that "this is not a soft rejection and that they can see you excelling at UVA/want to find a place for you?" Will definitely be sending LOCI, but not sure what to expect

Probably depends on your stats. What are they?

168 LSAT, 3.45 GPA, Ivy, URM, Strong softs/work experience, 1 year out of UG.

Dang, that's a bummer.

I don't know odds of getting off the waitlist, but I will say I'm not 100% surprised with that outcome looking at LSN for this cycle. There are two walls - one for anything below 3.86 (median GPA), and one for anything below 169. If you're above either of those, you've got a good shot of getting in. If you're below both, it doesn't look too promising.

That's what I figured. Thanks though!!

With the URM status, you should be a strong candidate, but URM outlooks are really hard to predict. I'm pretty sure UVA is in the middle range for T14s in terms of WL activity (CLS and Duke are awful with WLs). Your chances probably aren't great, but they aren't nonexistent IMO

How do you guys spell UVA in your letters? I wrote University of Virginia School of Law for the first instance, and afterwards idk if I should keep typing the whole thing out or writing UVA or UVa? I'm so freaking confused, can anyone elucidate?

probably just "The University of Virginia" after the first time

I wrote it out on first reference and UVA Law after that.

I spelled it out University of Virginia Law School in my first reference and then interchanged "Virginia" and "Virginia Law" subsequently, and I was admitted so I guess they're fine with that! Also they call themselves Virginia Law in the website so I don't think it'd be an issue.
