UVA admissions is the biggest mystery of all to me. Is there a precedent for rejecting obvious YP candidates?

I'm curious, did anyone who is in the still UR1/no interview/no WL crowd write a Why UVA? Either in original app or sent later?
I wrote a Why UVA with my original app.

You should call. I anticipate their shock at you having not received the Dillard they sent months ago.
Lol, thanks for the vote of confidence. I have emailed with them (probably too much >_>) so they're definitely aware of my presence.

To the above, I wrote a Why X

UR since 10/something. I eventually stopped checking my status. Seriously, just waitlist or reject me already.

Guys. We've been looking at this all wrong. It's not a bad thing, it's an award. "Congratulations. You've been waiting a long time. Welcome to the waitlist"...Kinda like the "Dean's List"...guys...?

Early November, submitted why uva with original app, strong numbers, radio silence since.

Sorry they didn't appreciate your expertise in bird law. They must be in cahoots with the Dayman.

I remember reading, maybe on Spivey, that last year they handed out lots of Dillard's and yield was rather high. So that, combined with the uptick in LSAT scores, has likely made for a harsh cycle. Who knows though! Still hoping something comes through.
Same boat- but you have better stats.. So weird .. But crossing my fingers for ya! (And myself :lol: )

Not to be creepy but I'm really curious as to where you'll end up when the cycle comes to a close.
