r/UVA

Hello all,

Has any transfer students received financial aid packages I’m still missing mines and my to do list is clear and I have done everything, I also called one stop and they extended my date but this package is just really late.

Hello,

I am an incoming mechanical engineering first year and was interested in getting an ipad for notes. I plan to purely use this ipad for anything academic related, would 256gb of storage be overkill? Will i get away with 128gb?

hi all! im a rising first year and I was curious what the likelihood of being rescinded was & if anyone experienced anything similar.
As of right now im most likely going to be finishing the year with 5 B’s one A and one C in AP Stats. (6/7 of my classes are AP)

I already explained it in my common app extra info section that ive missed a significant amount of school due to health & personal issues that my grades had a slight dip ( i got in rd )

last year i had a 3.97 uw and im wondering if the dip is too significant. For reference a close family member passed unexpectedly in first semester & I’ve been recently diagnosed with endometriosis ( i missed around a month from illness,seizures, etc - ive began treatment + managing it now)

If anyone with similar final year transcripts have any experience please lmk what it was like, any insight in general is helpful!

hey guys! im an upcoming first year and was wondering what the audition process for the university singers was like/how competitive it is.

for some context, i've done chorus all throughout high school, and our program is known to be pretty good, i just really suck at sight reading (and feel that i am a somewhat mediocre singer in general).

i saw on the website that theres no need to prepare a piece, but am confused on what the actual audition entails (is it like scales and then sight reading?)

is the process very competitive? whats the threshold for getting in (ie can i still get in if im not the best at music theory/sight singing, etc)?

any other choirs i should check out if the commitment for university singers is too much?

thanks a lot!

We have 2 RVs coming in for the NCAA Lacrosse Tournament and looking for a place to park the RVs on Fri, Sat and Sun nights, ideally within reasonable proximity to downtown and Scott Stadium. Anyone interested in hosting us and making some $$$? We have young boys, so we will be quiet and respectful.

Lars Tiffany is out as Men's Lacrosse coach. Looks like UVa decided not to renew his contract.

At season's end he said he expected to return: https://cvillerightnow.com/news/208802-uva-lacrosse-coach-lars-tiffany-expects-to-return-in-2027/

More detailed coverage on his departure here: https://www.usalacrosse.com/magazine/college/men/lars-tiffany-out-virginia-mens-lacrosse-head-coach

And, if you want to learn more about his legacy, this article about his 100th win is a good starting point: https://www.cavalierdaily.com/article/2026/03/100-wins-for-lars-tiffany-looking-back-on-his-10-year-tenure

if i get above a 5.0 on the PLACE spanish test does that mean i can completely skip the second language requirement or do i have to then take 3000 level classes?

Look hoos won yet another national title! Congratulations to the Men's Tennis Team

Hello! As the title says, I am an incoming first-year and received my aid package in March. My aid letter is split into 5 sections

Tuition and Fees $59,906

Housing and Food $15,300

Books and Supplies $1,520

Transportation $900

Other Educational Costs $3,072

With my grants and scholarships combined, I have received a total of $76,366 in aid (with $2,500 more in the fall semester). Of the sections listed, how much of it will UVA actually bill me for? Will I receive a refund since my aid goes over my cost of tuition, fees, housing, and food?

I’m a coming Transfer student for McIntire with a finance concentration. I’m currently enrolled in Calc 2 for the summer (before I start in the fall at UVA), and was wondering if it's required in the curriculum?

I kinda wanna know so I can get it out of the way when I come.

Hello! I’m a prospective student who recently got off waitlist. I am very interested in attending. What do you fellow Hoos think are the pros and cons of attending UVA?

Curious whether you all prefer the mobile or physical ID, I’m going through my checklist now and it says to pick one so wanted to know some opinions before I grab the mobile version.

I got accepted into UVA as a transfer student from a VCCS through GAA, and I completed every single class except for one, EGR 245 (Dynamics), with a high GPA. I had stated in my application however, that I would be taking EGR 245 this summer, before I fully attend UVA. Now though, with summer plans regarding travel, work, I really don't think I can take EGR 245 in the summer and I was wondering if anyone knew, would my admission be taken away if I dont fulfill it? P.S. my major is Biomedical Engineering, this class doesn't affect my admission into the school, but more so my admission to my major.
