They simply haven't made a decision yet about you. They need to review everyone else as well and then make decisions amongst the remaining pool.

I guess my response, and probably my point of most confusion, is:

"why then is the interview process so late in the decision/why does it seem a decision sometimes precedes an interview"

I would be happy to talk to them and help them make their decision on me, and they don't even need to have an answer by the end of the interview.

I think the interview is usually the last step they take before admitting someone, probably because it's used as more of a last check rather than gleaming information from you. They probably don't have enough resources to interview more than they absolutely need to. No clue tho. I hope you hear from them soon!

I get that, but then people get dinged at the end and I'm like: "did they mess up that badly to trip a sanity check, or were they on the bubble to begin with"

Regardless all I can do is wait and tilt at the digital windmills

Or send follow-up LOCI's, explain further why you're interested in UVA, go visit grounds and try to meet with someone in admissions and get facetime.

There's plenty that someone who really wants to attend can do. Whether it's worth it probably depends on how much you would actually like to be in Charlottesville come the fall.

I think the "when is applying too late" timeline needs to be amended for UVA. It seems like applying day 1 is on time and anything after that you run the risk of being stuck on UR1 forever

[RParadela]

Law school admissions make no sense sometimes. I got an Interveiw with UVA 2 weeks after applying but I've been WL'd at every other t14 that has given me a decision. Just the way shit breaks sometimes IMO

Is April 1st the date all applicant will hear back?
Has there been a real wave since March?

Not sure about a wave, but I heard back suddenly this week (quick interview, admitted, so hyped.)

April 15th's their projected date for all timely applicants to hear back, but since their "timely" deadline just passed on the 6th I wouldn't be surprised if there was a big wave soon/at the start of April, once they've reviewed their latest applications.

Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear!

Yep!

Yep!

I know it's probably routine maintenance but I'm really hoping it means those of us still waiting will hear back soon!

Still on UR1 since 11/16.......Anyone else applied around then and haven't heard back?

Yep! UR1 5 days after you

That's really shocking! I feel like they are probably just waiting to give you a Dillard...

Yep! Numbers are right at / higher than the 75ths. Its a shame, too, because UVA really is my #1 choice.

que sera sera I guess.

Real talk:

what are the outlooks for those of us still waiting? I know April 15 is the guaranteed day but when should we expect an interview at least? Also if we are admitted between now and April 15 will financial aid come with the decision or would we have to wait like a month to get it?

I would say overall outlook is bleak. Have you already submitted financial aid stuff to them (idk if they require FAFSA or not). On the off chance I get admitted, I wouldn't expect financial aid info to come with decision because I haven't submitted anything to them unless it's a merit offer.

ETA: Last year on LSN there were only 5 acceptances reported from this point on until the April 15ish guaranteed answer deadline and the year before that there was only 1 (not including people who were accepted off the waitlist)

They require, and I sent, FAFSA. It just feels like unless I get an interview request this week I'm not going to have enough time to interview get in (hopefully) and then weigh scholarship/negotiate unless it comes with acceptance.

Do we have any idea how many Dillards they're planning on enrolling this year? It seems to be significantly more in the past year or two than it was 10 years ago.

I might be wrong, but I thought the website said like 26 or something

Still UR from 10/27... accepted at higher schools but UVA was high on my list as well.

I'm curious because like 8/9 years ago it seemed to be significantly less, and there's an article saying 36 in 2015.

Need-based aid at the University of Virginia School of Law consists primarily of student loans. Pending availability of funds, need-based scholarships may be awarded. All admitted applicants who wish to be considered for scholarships in which demonstrated need is a component must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Most awards at UVA are merit based. The assumption seems to be that, since full funding is available to every applicant through federal loans, there isn't truly any 'need' for a scholarship.

[RParadela]

If any of you get accepted this month or into April, I'd bet that scholarship info comes with acceptance like most of the other people that got scholarships and were admitted in 2017. It seems like only the early applicants had significant wait times from acceptance to scholly offer
