hopefullyslp1 Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I have been accepted to UVA and am so excited! Now that I'm approaching decision time I need some help... Does anyone have inside info on this program? Especially wondering about opportunities for funding, what Charlottesville is like, and clinical opportunities. I would love to go somewhere that will help me get experience with more medical SLP. I assumed they would have students in the hospitals because they have their own hospital system, but I haven't read anything about that. Thoughts? Would really appreciate any input!
jpiccolo Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I got in too! This decision is much harder than I anticipated. I think they are making decisions about funding right now (it would be nice to know soon!). If I get funding that could definitely change things. I visited Charlottesville last year although I only drove around campus, didn't actually visit. But Virginia is beautiful and Monticello is nearby. They have some clinical opportunities listed on their website. It looks like we do one child externship, one adult, and then one semester of a clinical internship pretty much anywhere we want to go which sounds pretty cool. Great opportunity to get more experience and it doesn't have to be in Virginia. Are you going to visit at all?
ralysp Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I am currently finishing up my undergrad at UVa, and have also been accepted and plan to attend! The "Graduate Student Handbook" link that was included in the acceptance email is a pretty helpful resource. I really love UVa and Charlottesville, but I'm probably a little biased, haha! If you have any specific questions about UVa or Charlottesville or anything, I'd be happy to do my best to answer!
mhny1224 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I applied to UVA but haven't heard anything yet! Did you guys get an email or did you consistently check your account? My cousin lives in Charlottesville and I've only heard good things--would be so so happy to get in!!

I got an email that was an unofficial offer of admission a couple weeks ago and then I logged onto my application where the formal offer was. They might be waiting for people to accept or decline before sending out more offers? You could always give them a call and see if they will tell you anything. Good luck!

I actually called them today because I applied back in November and still have not heard anything (and UVA is my number one school) and the woman just said that they're still going through applications, to keep checking the portal, and that she didn't have any dates that she could give me :/
mhny1224 Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 has anyone else still not heard anything from UVA? i know it's not necessarily a bad thing not to have heard yet but i'm getting eager
j_rae Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 has anyone else still not heard anything from UVA? i know it's not necessarily a bad thing not to have heard yet but i'm getting eager Stilllllll haven't heard anything and I'm starting to freak out a little lol
mhny1224 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I think after April 15th should be when any schools tell their next wave of students of their decision
j_rae Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I think after April 15th should be when any schools tell their next wave of students of their decision Really? I was under the impression that all decisions were supposed to be made after April 15th. I'm kind of annoyed, though. Like I've already been denied from 5/6 schools, I just want my last denial 100% finalized so I can start to make moves on my plan B lol
mhny1224 Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 A ton of schools wait to see how many people put down a deposit on April 15th and if they have more seats to fill they accept more
mhny1224 Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 UVA's decisions have been posted on the portal.. unfortunately I didn't get in, but good luck to everyone else!
