UVA (2022-2023)

[ancient dune]

the only reason i want to go to a good school is to hang out with people who are smart

[lyric crane]

i didnt rly know ecs mattered till i opened common app

deadass thought it was grades

[ancient dune]

i dont give a shit about the prestige

[lyric crane]

thankfully i naturally got involved

[lyric crane]

fair

mines internships and oppurtunities

which is y oos is more ideal

[ancient dune]

(maybe a little bit, but i want to just go to a decent school)

[lyric crane]

being first gen immigrant connections only way u move up in this country

u dk nobody

[ancient dune]

UVA is underrated tbh

[lyric crane]

it is

i didnt know how good it was

[ancient dune]

visit the campus and youll know its something else

[lyric crane]

thought uva was va tech lvl and thought tech was gmu level

for context

till i researched

[ancient dune]

the UVA hospital is gigantic

competes with JHU

[lyric crane]

ye theyre hiring more staff

[lyric crane]

say ong

[ancient dune]

ong

[lyric crane]

jhu used to be my dream school

wen i wanted to be a surgeon

[ancient dune]

JHU has two seperate hospitals tho

[lyric crane]

then i realized i dont like med

so cs

[ancient dune]

which is why they are like #1

[lyric crane]

mom interned there for a bit

said it was cool but residents/doctors had rly huge egos

environment wasnt the greatest as a nurse

[ancient dune]

its JHU lmao

[lyric crane]

ye

id hv one too

[ancient dune]

tbh probably the same

[lyric crane]

but u need to be humble wen talking to nurses

especially as a resident

they can F u over

pre easily

[ancient dune]

yeah fr

[lyric crane]

any miistake and ur in deep shi

[ancient dune]

go to VTech

[lyric crane]

same

[ancient dune]

or somewhere else

[lyric crane]

techs food is the only thing truly elite

the engineering program pre good tho

fair enough

1/27 bout to be my 9/ 11

[ancient dune]

me and one guy got idoc requests from UVA. Kinda rare, other guy got accepted ED

i dont know if it correlates or not

[lyric crane]

was it an email

idk if my fin aid works rihgt

[ancient dune]

they didnt email for some reason

doc deadline was march 1st too

[lyric crane]

im confused af

[ancient dune]

its pretty rare

it wasnt requested for federal verification because i wasnt selected

for some other purpose

[lyric crane]

uva sis

@ancient dune wut urs look like

cuz mines lowky high key useless

pre sure i sent fafsa

[ancient dune]

same. after a few days they cleared the todo list

[lyric crane]

xD

[lyric crane]

lmao

ye idk

[ancient dune]

pretty much

[lyric crane]

uva is like my peace of mind safety

its not a safety

but its my best chance of my targets

fair xD

[ancient dune]

lol

[lyric crane]

pre much if i get it im fine no matter wut happens

even tho its not rly my first choice

[ancient dune]

same

[lyric crane]

wut do they evaluate on tho

essays didnt do much

and no interviews

[ancient dune]

UVADeanJ pretty cool person ngl

[lyric crane]

in state : )

o yeah ofc

[lyric crane]

who

[ancient dune]

DeanJ, AO that goes on every college social media

[lyric crane]

oh

[ancient dune]

i think shes in the discord

[lyric crane]

say ong

[ancient dune]

#🚀-general-chat message ong

[lyric crane]

well if u see this ignore my last 80 messages

[ancient dune]

dont @ her tho

LMAO

[lyric crane]

yoooooo

lemme del everything i jus said xxD

i take it back

[ancient dune]

yo fr if anyone goes to the same uni as me ill add them and meet irl

UVA got a lot of construction going on in campus

good thing is that they are located on the edge of charolettesville so they have good area to expand unlike urban unis like columbia or MIT

UVA's future outlook looks promising

when i went to visit there, there was a lot of construction

are you oos cs or

[lyric crane]

nah same

itd be pre cool

especially ppl i see a lot

[ancient dune]

for UVA you got a chance

[lyric crane]

question is who do they overtake

for public schools its ucla berkley an UM

thats hard

[ancient dune]

im thinking in the t20 category in the next 10 years

[lyric crane]

doable

[hallow vortex]

If it helps provide you any comfort, UVA takes significantly more out of state students than most other public universities do!

[lyric crane]

i thought they were t20 ngl

[ancient dune]

#25 rn i think

[lyric crane]

bro u got ucs

youll be fine

[hallow vortex]

No problem! Good luck.

[lyric crane]

ngl i applied to ucla and berkley for shits and giglles

nah fr

went super saiyan on the essays thho

[ancient dune]

i agree

UT Austin is a nightmare for oos

[hallow vortex]

Yeah, it's really interesting. I believe 33% of UVA's student body is out of state, so it's a lot higher than most other public schools.

[ancient dune]

GA Tech has a pretty big OOS population too

[hallow vortex]

That's true, but I think UVA has some of the most, right?

You're right, Virginia requires at least 2/3 of a public university to be in-state.

[lyric crane]

thats pretty generous ngl

compared to like u dub

which is like .00000001% for oos cs

[ancient dune]

2/3rds, better than UT Austin's 90% LMAO

[hallow vortex]

It's really low compared to other states, I believe Virginia has the lowest requirement from what I'm aware.

[lyric crane]

ong

[ancient dune]

Texas is like an entirely new country

[lyric crane]

UM is also very not nice to oos

[lyric crane]

id say cali is the same way

[ancient dune]

UMich?

[lyric crane]

jus to a lesser degree

[lyric crane]

ye

[ancient dune]

they accept 50% oos i think

45% oos 5% intl

i agree

[lyric crane]

ye its fair enough

[ancient dune]

yeah about

oos yield for uva is like 25%

[lyric crane]

probs

[ancient dune]

for instate its like 65%

[lyric crane]

virginians rly love uva

jus instate in general

nah i get it but they hate goin oos and idrk y outside of cost

ik someone whos like t50 level whos jus fine wit gmu

[ancient dune]

well UVA is just good

[lyric crane]

im not judgin but dont get it

ye

[ancient dune]

not many unis can compete with UVA's extremely high ranking fields across the board

[lyric crane]

GMU isnt

nah gang

[ancient dune]

🤣

GMU is like a cash cow scheme

[lyric crane]

i wish cs was higher

[lyric crane]

90% acceptance rate

super safety

[ancient dune]

i just hate how they gave me no aid

[lyric crane]

wuts the appeal

[ancient dune]

they are fine just not going

[lyric crane]

(also wasnt meant to be disrespectful my fault)

mm i get that

[lyric crane]

was talking frm this angle like compared to certain schools couldnt find anth bout them thats particularly atttractive

compared to like a vcu or jmu if u want to stay in stat

and cant get tech or uva

makes sense im central va so dk nun bout it

[ancient dune]

jmu has a nicer campus imo

better option

[lyric crane]

i only did uva vt and w&m in state

not too crazy bout the others

was going to do vcu then my dad said i was better off going back to africa 💀

i volunteer there its not that bad jus not great

its good for medicine

[ancient dune]

wait i just thought, when does jmu come out

its says mid-january

[hallow vortex]

Tends to come out around this time of the year usually.

You'll probably hear back real soon.

[ancient dune]

yeah

[lyric crane]

ye

which is kind of annoying but by then ill rly know how much i care if iget in

[hallow vortex]

That's valid.

VT is super nice though.

I loved my visit there.

[lyric crane]

ye went there in the summer for Black college institution

stayed a week in the dorms

[hallow vortex]

It's the school people from my high school commit to the most too so I hear a lot of stories about it.

[lyric crane]

and got to speak to an ao at the end

so according to him i shld be good

[lyric crane]

ye same

[hallow vortex]

That's nice, good luck!

[lyric crane]

i was suprised wen i saw how many ppl ed vt

[hallow vortex]

Yeah, a lot of people from my high school did ED to VT too.

[lyric crane]

its def a good school but never thought of it as a dream school

hokies love that shi lmao

fair enough

i used my ed on columbia

been my dream school since i was like 13

didnt work out but hey

happens

[hallow vortex]

I'm very sorry it didn't work out, it's rough when that happens for sure.

[lyric crane]

ye im sure lmao lots of ppl didnt get it

wym

damn

[ancient dune]

last year JMU came out on the 13th

so it should come out tmrw

theoretically

[lyric crane]

how come u turned it down

Honestly I think the reason im rly pushing for a t20 school is cuz my friend got a full ride to brown, other friend at yale and gf at u of toronto so lowkey feel like i hv to do sth similar else im the failure 😐

wuts ur current school if u dont mind me asking

[hallow vortex]

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling pressure, but this is definitely not true! What's most important is you go to a school that is a good fit for you.

[lyric crane]

well the reasoning was valid

[ancient dune]

youll get into UVA bro

dont worry about it

[lyric crane]

ty

[ancient dune]

1500 SAT is killer my guy

[lyric crane]

hopefully

[lyric crane]

had to do a million practice tests for it xD

OH I think I remember seeing u talk bout NW

with the sa?

[ancient dune]

same!

[lyric crane]

I applied to NW kinda as a a hail mary/social experiment

[hallow vortex]

No problem, even if it's false, I do hope you know it is valid to be going through that. I think pressure really can do a lot of harm towards us unfortunately. But I think that usually once you find a school that fits you well, a lot of that definitely goes away thankfully if that helps.

[lyric crane]

im probs double majoring in cs and math so applied for math to NW to see if id get it

[hallow vortex]

Yes unfortunately.

[hallow vortex]

And that's 100% valid, the one thing I really do like about NU is that they really help you study multiple things if you're interested in that.

I definitely think if you're interested, it's worth applying so that option is there if you ever wanna take it.

I just don't really recommend coming here.

[lyric crane]

i mean i think im def good enough for a top school but sm happened with moving from intl and my gpa and stuff so im lowkey scared

my friend who went thru the same thing got into yale so maybe wont affect me too much

[hallow vortex]

I hope it works out for you!

[lyric crane]

not crazy bout it

[ancient dune]

i feel you

[lyric crane]

i want Brown/Cornell

Brown cuz of the open curriculum

kinda wanna do a CS, creative writing, math hybrid

and cornell cuz its cornell more or less

[hallow vortex]

I will be rooting for you, good luck, and I hope you get in!

[lyric crane]

oof

[hallow vortex]

Now that you mention this, NU does fit you really well academically.

[lyric crane]

thank you fr

[lyric crane]

probably not

cant double major or?

[hallow vortex]

You can triple major if you want.

[lyric crane]

oh lol thinking 2 major +minor

[hallow vortex]

That's also valid!

I know a lot of people who do that.

[lyric crane]

but for cw i jus want to write poetry

and publish an anthology

(i post my work if anyone wants to see lol)

[ancient dune]

i can tell just by your interests youll get into uva

[lyric crane]

fair enough

[ancient dune]

truly unique

[lyric crane]

i hope so

[hallow vortex]

Super cool you write poetry!

[ancient dune]

yeah i agree

[lyric crane]

my ea was kinda mid but fixed a lot for rd

[lyric crane]

i was failing lit so i tried writing to understand it

thats the back story

outside of that just math and science

[ancient dune]

inspiring stories are always valued

[lyric crane]

its the same as cs in my mind, fundamentally

u can do what u want

make what u want

[ancient dune]

exactly my judgement

in CS you really arent bounded by anything

[lyric crane]

exactly

[ancient dune]

the rules become yours to play with

[lyric crane]

theres sm research oppurtunity

outside of jus paying well

and lots of holes in the market

jjus need to find it

[ancient dune]

computers are the future 100%

[lyric crane]

talked to my Rice interviewer bout AI research

she was class of 81 and did law

but somehow got her intrigued

wa a fun convo

[ancient dune]

dang bro

AI definitely an interesting topic

[lyric crane]

ye

i like interviews cuz i dont get nervous talking to ppl for some reason

and im passionate bout everything i want to do

only interviews I DO NOT want r northwestern, and duke

even tho i requested both

idk/ necessarily like them

so idk how to show interest

cornell and rice were easy

[ancient dune]

yeah facts but i havent gotten any follow-up emails from any college besides the initial app portal stuff

not even interview requests

[lyric crane]

wen columbia didnt give me an interview i knew i was cooked

i jus needed a bit more to get over the ledge i feel

or

i was auto rejected

ill never kno

[ancient dune]

i know someone who was deferred with no interview

i dont think it has to do with that

[ancient dune]

problem is UVA never sent me a follow-up email about the financial aid stuff, and when i asked them a question, no one answered

💀

[lyric crane]

its just that my app/story requires context i think

cuz being unique is kind of my selling point

[ancient dune]

yeah i understand

[lyric crane]

like moving countries 5 times is always a fun story to tell

so it probs didnt mess me up but i think it wouldve helped

[ancient dune]

yeah for sure

[lyric crane]

lowkey call

i think schools so backed up emails r hit or miss

[ancient dune]

yeah

[ancient dune]

the question is irrelevant now

i think UVA is just too overflown with information that its hard to manage

[lyric crane]

fair enough

[spice ravine]

fr

if i got someone b4 me

everything would have been better since id start writing them essays in summer 🥲

[lyric crane]

lmao

ye

[spice ravine]

yo

do my IAs + EEs for IB counts as research supplemental???

cuz if so i have like 6 of them lol 🥲

[lyric crane]

tbh idk

[spice ravine]

i searched

and it said ye

should i submit all my research then lol

cuz technically it is

does it have to be scientific?

cuz mine is social science

like econ paper research

business

and stuff like that

and even a math paper lol

[lyric crane]

Ig ye 😂

[spice ravine]

:))

[cinder dew]

OMG EVERYONE @rocky wyvern said I GOT AUTOADMITED

yeah

honestly UVA CS is my goal

[vestal bramble]

Why us essays suck

[ancient dune]

yeah uva agrees

they want to see impact

yeah good prompt

they have had that one forever

because it provides good insight

GTech would be a dream fr

[lyric crane]

wut was the cas prompt

[lyric crane]

cs was only under engineering for uva and tech right cuz for most schools i did cas bc of career goals

ah fair enough

[ancient dune]

there is cs BA

vs cs BS

[lyric crane]

oh

didnt see that

o well

[spice ravine]

@lyric crane did u do ib?

[lyric crane]

Nah stopped at o-level/ igcse and stacked ap classes when I moved to America

[spice ravine]

ah

🥲

[rocky wyvern]

whats the IB predicted?

[true lichen]

early action in like 2 weeks

🤞

[cinder dew]

hopefully

[spice ravine]

not good 🥲

did u submit any of ur IAs or EE as research supplemental? @rocky wyvern

[spice marsh]

when is predicted EA DAYE

Date

[cinder dew]

feb 4

[knotty fern]

I’ve heard Feb 3rd because it’s the first Friday in Feb

[spice ravine]

the website says 15th Feb

it says "by" so i might be rolling decision rounds up until 15th Feb

[cinder dew]

i think it just releases on one day

by feb 15 means they arent sure yet what day

[true lichen]

last 2 years have been first friday of feb

[rocky wyvern]

o

[spice ravine]

well

ig the sooner the better lol

[acoustic frigate]

looking at past trends I'm guessing it's going to Feb 3

[spice ravine]

ye that would be great

i cant wait until mid feb 🥲

[still prawn]

Anyone here applied for business (commerce)?

[sonic spruce]

Cs ? Anyone

Oos

[knotty fern]

Let’s gooooo CS oos here 👋

[sonic spruce]

Same

I’m not getting in tho prob

Oos asian male

Test opt

[lyric crane]

Same in state tho

[sonic spruce]

Good stats and essay iyo ?

[sonic spruce]

How do

So

@rocky wyvern

[ancient dune]

test scores at UVA are high

[sonic spruce]

Ik

But that means a lower end score won’t fly tho right

[ancient dune]

yeah

[sonic spruce]

So high gpa is compulsory?

[lyric crane]

Decent

[sonic spruce]

Is test opt gonna get me rejected

[lyric crane]

Ion think so

[sonic spruce]

what can compensate

[lyric crane]

If ur gpa and Ecs r good

Essay prob doesn’t influence too much

[sonic spruce]

Ig they’re okay

Like u need 4.0 for cs ?

Oos

To have chance

[lyric crane]

https://ira.virginia.edu/cds-2021-22

[lyric crane]

Depends on courses u took as well

Lots of factors

Opportunities available at ur school

[sonic spruce]

Oh gotcha that looks good then

[sonic spruce]

Like very high. Gpa ?

[rocky wyvern]

ugh idk why

but i fell inlove with my uva supps

they were smf

and i enjoyed writing them

[slim crest]

i hate my uva supps

theyre probably the worst ive written

😕

[lyric crane]

the duality of man

honestly they were like 7/10 for me cuz i write too much but solid tbh

[true lichen]

UVA supplemental sucked

120 word max 🤮

[lyric crane]

i think they jus rly dgaf bout the essay

[true lichen]

the 300 word one definitely holds more weight

the college specific

[lyric crane]

neither did coe

[toxic tapir]

Kinda wish I had applied to CS in the CAS

Apparently it’s easier to get into than coe

[lyric crane]

same

[ancient dune]

bruh

i want coe

😭

whatever bro

i can just double major in uva cas

[lyric crane]

looking at the course decription uva cs in coe>cas but might regret it lol

[ancient dune]

apparently you can request to switch colleges after admission

[lyric crane]

admission is the problem

lol

[ancient dune]

admission instate is free

come on bruh

[lyric crane]

ye ik

but lots of ppl in my school applying (obv)

and my gpa skewed

so idk

they not releasing till feb right

[ancient dune]

yeah

[lyric crane]

if i get 1/2 from UT, GT, U-M and UMD + UVA and tech

im in a good spot

@ancient dune wuts ur first choice

[ancient dune]

GT

but i would be happy with UVA

[lyric crane]

Brown but tbh outside of my omega reaches id say GT, UVA and U-M are mine

(GT is acc an omega reach now i think bout it )

[sonic spruce]

U instate

[ancient dune]

for UVA

not GT

[sonic spruce]

dang

im not getting into both fs

[ancient dune]

and i have reasons to suspect im getting into UVA

[sonic spruce]

?

[ancient dune]

got an idoc request

a few weeks ago

but

[sonic spruce]

whats idoc

[ancient dune]

css profile 2.0

[sonic spruce]

ohh

i havent

[lyric crane]

ive sent my shi to uva but like i dead dont know how to navigate sis

[sonic spruce]

its feb 2nd right?

[ancient dune]

https://idoc.collegeboard.org/idoc/IDOC/IndexIDOC.aspx

[ancient dune]

i mean theres usually nothing there

i was like the only person to actually get requested info from their SFS

[lyric crane]

ye thats y i was confused tbh

can i see wut urs says if u dont mind

[ancient dune]

after i submitted they removed the todo list item

[lyric crane]

fair enough

[ancient dune]

so there is still nothing there

[lyric crane]

i sent it before checking

so maybe its done

who tf knows

[ancient dune]

for some reason tho i havent gotten like any emails

only automated ones

perhaps because my email is unique?

like i havent gotten interview requests lol

[lyric crane]

do they do interviews?

[ancient dune]

no

im just saying in general

[lyric crane]

oh u mean in gen

i mean ive only gotten 2

i did 23 schools

1 was cornell (loved that one) and apparently it dont matter too much

other was Rice and she acc lives in Richmond and we laughed bout how virginians dont like to leave

[sonic spruce]

dang lucky

[ancient dune]

bruh

[sonic spruce]

how do u prep for one

and what are good quesitons to ask

[lyric crane]

idk got kinda lucky

[lyric crane]

honestly if u wrote a why school/why major just take the major points from that

[ancient dune]

is ur email @gmail.com or smth else

[sonic spruce]

👍

[lyric crane]

ye

[ancient dune]

hmm

ok

[sonic spruce]

i have one same time as umd decisions so ....

[lyric crane]

cuz theyll ask u to intro urself, why major, what attracted u to the school etc

[sonic spruce]

gotcha

[ancient dune]

my email isnt @gmail.com so that might be it

[lyric crane]

then anth else will naturally come from the conversation

like if they wanna know bout an ec or program u mentioned

cant script those just be good at talking lol

[lyric crane]

id say its jus geographical location

got lucky to get someone so close to me for rice

and cornell guy lived in nova

whered u apply that does interviews @ancient dune

[ancient dune]

i probably wont get an interview

[ancient dune]

Yale and MIT

[sonic spruce]

hmm mine lives in va too

[ancient dune]

cuz theres too many NoVa applicants

[lyric crane]

mm i thought mit was good with interviews

my friend that got into yale rea didnt get an interview so 🤷🏾‍♂️

[ancient dune]

im auto-admit 🤩

[lyric crane]

ong

[umbral horizon]

F uva

[rocky wyvern]

real

[spice ravine]

guys

should i send my resume to uva :?

if i get deferred from ea

oifc

ofc*

[spice ravine]

oh nvm they dont accept resume

[rigid osprey]

untrue

my school is only like 30% to uva but it used to be 70% like 5 years ago

soft gpa cutoff of 4.3

[rocky wyvern]

30% is pretty great though???

[rigid osprey]

top 30% at my school is very unattainable

[rocky wyvern]

how so

[rigid osprey]

top 30% just farm post ap cs courses and end up with a gpa of 4.5+

[rocky wyvern]

idk sending 30% of your kids to your amazing state school seems pretty reasonable

not like virginia doesn't have other great state options too

w&m, vtech, gmu

i am very envious of you all

[rigid osprey]

i go to the #1 school in da country why make it impossible to get in to uva

[rocky wyvern]

oh are you at tj

[rigid osprey]

😭

ya

[rocky wyvern]

just go to w&m 🙏

[rigid osprey]

nah

[ancient dune]

TJ

[rigid osprey]

i dont want to go to wm

[ancient dune]

Join me brother

[rigid osprey]

i didnt even apply

[rocky wyvern]

tj is like the only dmv school scarier than basis i swear

[rocky wyvern]

dangggg

it looks like a really nice school

[rigid osprey]

basis is worse

[rocky wyvern]

i went to basis lmao

[rigid osprey]

mfs at basis be taking ap physics and multi in 8th grade

[rocky wyvern]

yep ap calc in 8th

[rigid osprey]

i heard basis rigs your grading systems to boost the shit out of your gpa

[rocky wyvern]

ehhhh

if you do well on the AP yes

the AP is like 50% of your grade lmao

[rigid osprey]

bro what

[rocky wyvern]

if you get a two on ap calc you probably fail the class and have to repeat a year

yeah

[rigid osprey]

all the ap tests are easy af

[rocky wyvern]

its insane

i dont think ap calc is easy 😭

[rigid osprey]

ap calc was so easy

[rocky wyvern]

was not for me

im not a stem kid though

[rigid osprey]

i got an a- in the class trying pretty hard and a 5 on the exam no studying

[rocky wyvern]

basis you have to pass ap calc to graduate

[rigid osprey]

same for tj

but we dont take it in 8th grade so thats probably the diff

[rocky wyvern]

i know kids who were held back like 3 years cause they didnt get a good enough grade on the exam to pass

what do you want to study?

[rigid osprey]

mech e

[rocky wyvern]

scary

[rigid osprey]

yeah probably

[rigid osprey]

basis mclean?

[rocky wyvern]

nah basis dc lmao

[rigid osprey]

oh

[rocky wyvern]

basis mclean is private right?

[rigid osprey]

i think its charter

[rocky wyvern]

nah its private yeah

basis dc is a charter

the lottery to get in is so competitive lol

and i dropped out anyways lmaooo

[rigid osprey]

what is the diff between basis charter and basis private schools

are basis charter schools free

[rocky wyvern]

yeah

[rigid osprey]

ok good

[rocky wyvern]

and not selective admissions

[rigid osprey]

basis mclean is like 35k a year 😭

[rocky wyvern]

just a lottery

35k dang

dc private schools are mostly 50k+ so thats cheap tbh

[rigid osprey]

pointless to pay that when you can j go to tj

[rocky wyvern]

sidwell and gds and cathedral are insane

yeahhhh but not everyone can get into tj

and i bet the environment is less competitive lmao

[rigid osprey]

tj admissions is pretty easy tbh

[rocky wyvern]

i probably would not have survived at tj

[rigid osprey]

its like 20% but the number is skewed because a lot of people who didnt have a chance applied

[rigid osprey]

def true

[simple terrace]

tj is going to change a lot within the next couple of years though

[toxic tapir]

Oh no I feel so bad

[rigid osprey]

demographically yeah but idt it will make college admissions any diff

[rocky wyvern]

whats the oos admit rate

[simple terrace]

yeah it will probably still be a nightmare. internally there is going to be a lot of change like entire departments getting restructured and changed. also labs and the grading system as well

[true lichen]

gah damn how many people apply a year

we’ve only had 52 since we’ve started using naviance

[rocky wyvern]

i mean at in-state schools i imagine a ton

[true lichen]

13.5% acceptance here

[rocky wyvern]

why would anyone not apply to uva unless they're sure they wont get in

[true lichen]

didn’t realize they are in state

[simple terrace]

everyone applies to pretty much the same set of schools so it doesnt matter if its in state or oos

[rigid osprey]

i heard labs are not going to be required for current sophomores which is kinda bs

its like the flagship program of the school

silly

[rigid osprey]

like the entire graduating class

or probably 90% at least

so 400 maybe

[rocky wyvern]

is this ho comin out tmr

[rigid osprey]

no

it always comes out in early feb

[ancient dune]

nah they announce date like 2 days before decisions

its probably gonna be next friday

[ancient dune]

UVA be on a different Earth rn

[spice ravine]

ye

fr

[sonic spruce]

isnt uva feb 15

[rigid osprey]

by feb 15

[sonic spruce]

oh

[ancient dune]

UVA clutch up

please

I luv u

❤️

Hoo for life

[lyric crane]

@rigid osprey lmfao

[rocky wyvern]

LETS GO

i like to see tj lose.

[simple terrace]

Tj students came for the sports

[ancient dune]

i found that the average salary of a uva professor is 185k/yr

lol

[lyric crane]

fr?

[ancient dune]

yeah

[lyric crane]

acc idk how much professors are sposed to make

[ancient dune]

like about 100k

[lyric crane]

fair enough

[ancient dune]

they get stipends as well for research

[lyric crane]

id imagine thats where the money come from

[ancient dune]

thank you 🙏

wait on rd but itll likely be my choice

only 22k i gotta pay according to financial aid calculator

not bad

but idk what they are gonna do with my idoc stuf

[spice ravine]

wow 🥲

int students be like 🙂

[rigid osprey]

This was not my tj

Diff one

We played trinity yday

[rigid osprey]

Basis kid friendly fire

[lyric crane]

r they good at bb? ik they hella tuff for fb

[rigid osprey]

We beat them

And we’re actually not horrible for bb despite our sports reputation

Also we beat the trinity in dmv area not the Richmond one

[lyric crane]

Oh

The Richmond one is insane lmfao

[rigid osprey]

We don’t really play Richmond teams ever lol

[lyric crane]

I’d imagine

Unless it was like states even then not the same division or wtv

[mortal solstice]

anyone know when EA decisions come out?

[knotty fern]

Feb 15th at the latest, historically been on the first Friday so that would be on February 3rd

But that’s speculation based

[mortal solstice]

thx 👍

[unborn marsh]

dyt uva data science school will have a good perceent acceptance rate

[toxic tapir]

Instate or OOS?

[ancient dune]

both

[simple terrace]

usually new schools have pretty high acceptance rates

[ancient dune]

nah it will

data science is a good major too

[simple terrace]

it will or it wont?

[ancient dune]

probably around 30% overall

[unborn marsh]

OOS

[ancient dune]

probably like 25% oos

[simple terrace]

thats not bad

[ancient dune]

40% instate

[unborn marsh]

but data science was in the school of arts and science

[ancient dune]

yah

[unborn marsh]

when i applied

[ancient dune]

you can transfer over to school of data science when its completely built

i think for now you will be considered school of arts and sciences

[unborn marsh]

so no one was able to apply for school of data science?

[simple terrace]

I think its the same for ucsd. they are currently building the 8th college but people can still apply

[ancient dune]

yeah

[unborn marsh]

o rip

[rigid osprey]

because itll be done by this summer

[unborn marsh]

can i pm you my stats

and can you lmk whatchu think

[rigid osprey]

u can just say here

and we chance you

[unborn marsh]

is it allowd?

[rigid osprey]

yea

[unborn marsh]

oh

okay cool

[simple terrace]

oh really lol good to know. based on how the provosts or whatever were answering questions the building just started being constructed

[ancient dune]

whats the 8th college?

[rigid osprey]

its just called 8th college

[ancient dune]

bruh

[simple terrace]

half the colleges dont have names

[rigid osprey]

ucsd has residential colleges with different gened requirements

[simple terrace]

yeah

[rigid osprey]

yeah they have 5 named ones and then the other 3 are called sixth seventh and eighth'

[simple terrace]

they all offer the same majors as well

[ancient dune]

is there a specific area the 8th college will teach?

[rigid osprey]

do you go to tj or do you just know it well

[ancient dune]

oh

[simple terrace]

I go to it

[ancient dune]

thats really weird

[rigid osprey]

theyre only gened requirement differences

nothing about majors is diff

[ancient dune]

i see

UCSD seems like a great school but no oos aid

[rigid osprey]

do i know you

[ancient dune]

i wouldve applied

[simple terrace]

I dont think so?

probably not

[rigid osprey]

oki

[eternal magnet]

as long as ur essays were good, they can make up for the UW GPA

does your school have a class rank?

[rigid osprey]

did your research end up getting published

[unborn marsh]

nah

[unborn marsh]

only the yale one

oh i forgot the deal breaker

im an asian male

💀

[unborn marsh]

asian male

[rigid osprey]

lol figured

[unborn marsh]

im low income if that makes up for it

[rigid osprey]

i think you have a decent chance

[unborn marsh]

so i didnt really get help from connnections

[rigid osprey]

50% imo

[unborn marsh]

bless up man

[rigid osprey]

good luck

[simple terrace]

ngl test scores might be important

[unborn marsh]

ty you too!

oh lmao rip

yeah

[rigid osprey]

cas is a good choice

because if you did coe i would say you had like 20%

[ancient dune]

nah its the same acceptance rate

it doesnt matter

[unborn marsh]

will me going test optional put me at suc a huge disadvantage

[rigid osprey]

nah

[ancient dune]

🥰

[ancient dune]

it does

[rigid osprey]

is it really sam acceptance between cas and coe

[unborn marsh]

ngl my supps are pretty dogshit

🤣

i wrote abt eating food while laying in bed

for my happy place

[ancient dune]

UVA #1 school anyway

[simple terrace]

did uva even have supplementals?

I dont even remember

[ancient dune]

ASU commit to uva with me

UIUC sucks

[unborn marsh]

when will uva come out?

[rigid osprey]

probably feb 3

[ancient dune]

UVA has better job outlook

🙂

[unborn marsh]

how come?

[rigid osprey]

they always say by feb 15 but its historically first friday of feb

im ngl i hate uva more and more by the day

[ancient dune]

sure

[ancient dune]

u applied from TJ lol

u doomed urself

[rigid osprey]

i want to get rejected

i dont want to be tempted to go there just bc of in state

[simple terrace]

uva practically has a gpa cutoff for tj

[rigid osprey]

4.3 babyyyyy

[eternal magnet]

is uva COE harder

[rigid osprey]

supposedly not but i figured it was

[ancient dune]

nah

if CS yes

otherwise no

[eternal magnet]

how do i switch

[ancient dune]

you cant

😦

[simple terrace]

really its not?

[rigid osprey]

im mad about this because i had a 4.283 at the start of the year and then fcps reweighted orchestra to an honors course and now my gpa is 4.321

but i dont care enough to tell colleges so

[eternal magnet]

@ancient dune what if i put chem eng

[rigid osprey]

bro

[eternal magnet]

for second

[rigid osprey]

dawg

just roll with it

[simple terrace]

what did you put originally

[eternal magnet]

cs first

chem eng second

[ancient dune]

u should be fine

they admit by college

not major

[eternal magnet]

ok

how hard is oos coe

[simple terrace]

cs is already overcrowded in uva according to a current cs admit

[ancient dune]

around 18% probably

[rigid osprey]

admit

did you ed

[unborn marsh]

what abt ds

[eternal magnet]

easier than purdue/uiuc/gt tho right @ancient dune

[simple terrace]

I meant student lmao

oops

[rigid osprey]

theyre in diff schools so hard to tell

[ancient dune]

yeah

[eternal magnet]

i could get into uva then

[ancient dune]

UVA t30 CS too

ur chillin

[eternal magnet]

i probs wont get in

[simple terrace]

no ea

[rigid osprey]

i will never understand why more oos cs and engineering majors dont apply to vt instead of uva

[ancient dune]

i got into t20 cs but cant afford

im sad

[simple terrace]

ik right

[ancient dune]

we will see if i get a scholarship

but unlikely

[eternal magnet]

lyrics how much does uva essays matter

[rigid osprey]

you should google uva cds

and check yourself

[ancient dune]

i would say a decent amount

[ancient dune]

ye

[unborn marsh]

can i dm you my supps and can you tell me ur honest opinion

[ancient dune]

yeah sure

[rigid osprey]

important but less important than ur class rigor gpa and recs

[eternal magnet]

how important are test scores

[rigid osprey]

its in the image

[ancient dune]

considered

[eternal magnet]

state schools are so wak

oos

[simple terrace]

if wherever you live has a lot of access to testing it will be a lot more important than if you live without access to it

[eternal magnet]

so we're just talking like

intl vs domestic

[simple terrace]

yes and also whether the people in your area have good test scores

[sonic spruce]

how important is class rank

like do u need top 10 %

[eternal magnet]

if ur school reports class rank

[sonic spruce]

like still t10%

[eternal magnet]

yeah

[sonic spruce]

dang well ig im lucky

[ancient dune]

88% of students are top 10% of class

[sonic spruce]

😭 dangggg

is this instate or oos

or general

[ancient dune]

in general

https://ira.virginia.edu/university-stats-facts/undergraduate-admissions

median SAT is 1490 for fall 2022 admits

[sonic spruce]

whatttt

[ancient dune]

top is math

median for engineering is 1500

[sonic spruce]

😭

i went test opt

i dont know if that ruins my chances

[ancient dune]

it wont

[sonic spruce]

can u eloborate

[ancient dune]

they only consider test scores on their cds

[sonic spruce]

gotcha

hopefully gpa carries

idk what their gpa is tho

[ancient dune]

gpa isnt standardized

they look at course rigor

[sonic spruce]

gotcha whatrs their uw if u know

[simple terrace]

youll be more competitive if you do have one cant say anything if you dont. its probably fine based on everything else you have

[eternal magnet]

I got a score dw

[eternal magnet]

Course rigor isn’t standardized either

Tbh if u took APs u should be required to submit scores

[unborn marsh]

where did u see this? does it include gpa?

[ancient dune]

yes

kinda

https://ira.virginia.edu/university-stats-facts/undergraduate-admissions

[simple terrace]

also make sure its close to or higher than the median or else it will be bad for you (of uva accepted)
