Hey everyone! I would like to know who is going to Virginia this year

I'm going to UVa in August. And currently searching for housing options.

Krisztian do you have any idea about the number of LLm students that go to Virginia every year?

Please, help, I been accepted to Virginia, Northwestern, Duke and Cornel. Do you think Virginia is the best choice?

I heard that the number of Virginia's LLm students was small (about 40) and they could become friends easily.

Thanks K, does anybody know if Charlottsville is a nice place to live?

To Cp: you can reason as follows. Of the schools you mentioned, Virginia is the highest ranked. Unless the others can offer you something that Virginia can not, you should choose it. You should not follow rankings blindly, but on the other hand, you shouldn't choose less prestigious school unless there's a reason. Also think hard what you really want to study in the US. Then see faculty profiles at each school, and course offerings. Try to find out which schools fits best with your study objective. If you are not sure what you want to do, choose UVA.

To cp:

As you may be aware, you can get much information about Charlottesville on the website of Virginia.

To tmalmine and K: thank you very much for the info. I know that Virginia is the better university of the 4 in the ranking but I have read here that a lot of people give a lot of importance to the Ivy League universities, and Cornell is one of those. The other important point to consider is that Chicago is a big city where the experience would be completely diferent from being in Charlottesville, so Northwestern is another interesting option. But as you said, I think I should choose Virginia.
Anyway, what are your plans?

it's just werid that I didn't receive Cornell's admission till today, while Virginia never gives me a deadline for deposit.

I received Cornell´s acceptance letter yesterday and Virginia may not give you a deadline to pay the deposit because you might have asked for financial assistance and they don´t ask you to pay the deposit until they don´t inform you wether they give you a scholarship or not

yeah exactly. I think Cornell is inefficient and it does not tell you that you have been admitted if you don't ask. I just don't understand why it would take Virginia so long to determine the financial aid thing. It's April 8 already...many deadlines ahead...

This is the answer to my email from Virginia: "Because you are awaiting a decision from us regarding financial aid, we have not set a new deposit deadline for you. We expect to be completing our financial aid decisions within the next two or three weeks. At that time we will let you know if we can offer you aid, and if we can, how much -- and we will give you a deposit deadline at that time. "
This is the reason why they don t give you a deadline

next two or three weeks...on my god...

Hello CP, I am also going to Virgina this year. I have a brother that went to tahta university, 2 years ago, he told me that it is a nice place to live and also there are a lot of girls to Known, It would be a pleasure to meet u. I u want, we can share a room.... would u like?

Duropper I guess you wouldn t like to hear my little baby´s cry every night
Who else going to Virginia

I will go to Virginia next August.

Regards,

To cp: I've not made the final decision, but maybe I'll go to Virginia as well.

to K: which other options do you have?

To cp: Cornell. Considering the ranking of USNews, location and what I heard from the graduate from Virginia, I prefer Virginia. In addition, I am currently considering deferral due to family matters.
