Ive heard of this being a common occurence in years past. Have no idea what their reasoning is for it.shntn wrote:If I see a Virginia number on my caller ID, I'm having me a heart attack.

Some schools are closed for the week so don't be surprised by the lack of activity.WhiteyCakes wrote:Doesn't seem like any calls are going out today

No classes doesn't equal "offices closed". I work in higher education, and I can pretty much guarantee that most people are required to work until tuesday or wednesday.teiswei wrote:Some schools are closed for the week so don't be surprised by the lack of activity.WhiteyCakes wrote:Doesn't seem like any calls are going out today

Re: UVA c/o 2016 Applicants (2012-2013 cycle)
I sent my RD application on 11/5/12 and completed on 11/7/12. However, I e-mailed them today requesting to change my application type from RD to ED if it's possible and the director sent me an e-mail asking me to have a phone call discussion. Should I take this positively? I'm assuming he must be really busy going over other applications and it was weird for me to receive his e-mail asking for a phone conversation...please let me know what you guys think...also, any tips on how to prepare this telephone interview?

No special UVA expertise, but I would be prepared to explain why you did not originally submit ED. Before allowing you to gain any sort of boost from the ED designation, he may just want to ensure that your decision isn't based on having been rejected or WL'd elsewhere, but that you have genuinely decided UVA is the only place you want to go to school.yiruri83 wrote:I sent my RD application on 11/5/12 and completed on 11/7/12.

Sorry, I am not trying to challenge anyone here. I am solely basing it off a couple conversations with admissions offices. Vandy, in particular, denied my request for an on-campus interview for this week because, "we won't be here."WhiteyCakes wrote:No classes doesn't equal "offices closed".

I worked in higher ed administration for a little while and our office only closed on legit federal holidays (it was a public school) -- any non-federal holiday that the students got off we still worked through. Obviously this doesn't mean UVA admissions is open this week though.

I believe it's a mixed bag. I've heard from an admissions office today, but have not heard from others I expected would be working. Your note was valuable in tuning the expectations of a gang of nail-biters...I for one appreciate it.teiswei wrote:Sorry, I am not trying to challenge anyone here.

And FYI, a VA number didn't come up! It came up as unknown and I almost didn't answer because I tend not to answer blocked calls and unknown calls.
