Did you get it with your acceptance package? I was admitted back at the beginning of October and no scholly info :( (but have received scholarships from other T14s)
Yes with my package.
Does anyone think it would be a bad idea to email them? I assumed getting accepted at the beginning of the cycle would mean a better shot at money (LSAT>>>75, GPA at median), so I'm concerned I somehow slipped through the cracks. Would I seem neurotic if I sent a general email asking when someone accepted in October might hear about scholarships?
Same situation. Would be interested to hear if you find out anything.
Same, but for a Sept admit. Let us know if you email them!

I don't see a scenario where it's bad news.

From what I've seen they've made scholarship offers to very few people. The letter that came after the acceptance package says: "We will begin making scholarship awards in late February" so I don't think we should worry about it yet?

So I just checked my status checker and it says I was admitted...no interview, no email.... has this happened to anyone?? Could it be a mistake?? I'm semi-freaking out as this is a reach for me. As a side note, I visited in November and spoke to Chris Colby for about 20 minutes just to ask some questions about the program (without an appointment set up). Not sure if this has anything to do with it...

yeah, that probably has something to do with it. it seems that if you meet with anyone beforehand you don't have to interview. congrats!

Yeah... it was bad lol. Wanted to ask me about my sub-par GPA (which is totally reasonable but got my hopes up for acceptance :( )

They might have just wanted some more information/context/etc. Don't get too down just yet!

Yes! Don't give up hope just yet! I applied awhile ago as well and don't have the strongest numbers for them, so anything can happen it seems! :D

That conversation with Chris Colby counted as your interview if you were admitted. UVA makes a big deal about not admitting anyone without having at least talked to them in person, Skype, or by phone first. So, they probably counted that as your interview. Congrats!

Someone in another thread (ASD 2017) said that it was March 16-18 but I don't want to plan around these dates without confirmation.
Yeah, there's an Open House for Admitted Students on March 16-17 (source: UVA's letter)

Oh sorry, If you want I can send you the requests I have seen (privately) I know UVA is SweetTort's...Sweet Tort so I would love to help. Its a basic group with the Class of 2020 and people are either looking for roommates because they have space, or looking for space.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
