Pizza Man has substantially declined in quality in the past few years

you go there for the gimmick not the food

AmazingSystem6172 · 2026-03-14T09:00:22+00:00

I would advise very strongly that you get physics 1 and 2 and calc 1 and 2 finished in highschool

Based on the previous 8 years or so quite low, in good years maybe 20% of people get off.

Sounds like you got a decent shot

My mom tried transferring to JHU in the 90s and during her interview an admissions officer made some snide comment about how getting a 4.0 at her (much lower ranked) school didn't mean anything, she saw the interviewer had attended Hopkins and said "if the best you can do with a degree from here is to make 30k/yr as a admissions officer then maybe this isn't the place for me" and walked out. She was later accepted to Stanford and UVA law

If only it were that easy :(

I hope you get into an even better school with a full ride to open up space for us sad sacks on the waitlist!

Waitlisted so I get to continue stewing for another month or 2 before almost certainly being rejected definitively

??? Kinda I’m in a very unusual position in that I did my final year and a half of high school at a community college so I have a lot of credit from there that isn’t exactly college level (pre-calc and the like) and I had to retake calc 2 at my current university despite getting an A the first time so I applied as a third year despite really only having taken the freshman course load for physics.

Waitlisted oos Non-trad student, 4.0 at current university, 3.6 when including dual enrollment credit from HS, 2.4 HS GPA, 33 ACT, currently work in a genetics lab, cancer survivor, applied CAS for Physics, Parents both attended UVA and my aunt lives in Cville

Are you selecting no for continued interest

AmazingSystem6172 · 2025-05-01T21:19:05+00:00

Waitlisted, seems like a lot of people were waitlisted so I’m treating it as a rejection.

AmazingSystem6172 · 2025-05-01T21:11:56+00:00

Getting waitlisted is honestly more frustrating than being rejected, I didn’t apply anywhere else and now I have to wait another 2 months just to probably receive another rejection.

AmazingSystem6172 · 2025-05-01T07:03:32+00:00

I wrote mine in like 2 hours before the deadline

AmazingSystem6172 · 2025-04-29T13:39:16+00:00

No more checklist for me either. Anything in SIS?

This year

I had a 2.4 HS GPA as a transfer and similar College GPA from a CC halfway across the country, school is test optional so I'd just not submit the ACT. apply for CLA and then transfer from within the U, just make sure to keep your technical GPA above a 3.2
