Great college town. The professors are always willing to help you and the students here overall are friendly.

They could improve on guiding students more regarding career choices, particularly in their third year.

Make sure you go and sit in on a class. It will help you to get a feel of what the students, professor and overall life at UVA will be like.

Yes

Cost-effective option for in-state students, variety of majors, located in a historic city

Surprising number of scandals in recent years, ranging from the Rolling Stone article to the protests of August 2017 in Charlottesville

Explore the variety of academic programs available at UVa, and make sure that you complete prerequisites for majors you are interested in during high school (will help out in the long-run)

Yes

great history, academic culture, and absolutely beautiful grounds. faculty is very supportive

still retains a bit of a waspy southern feel at times, frat culture too pervasive

don't go here to study arts or math. the E school is okay, but business and pre-law are by far the strongest programs.

Yes

Great school and traditions. Great professors and a good variety of classes to take. Beautiful grounds. Great combination of of work and play. Situated in an amazing college town.

The football team is subpar. The online registration system for classes is a pain but very easy to overlook

UVa is the best school ever. Charlottesville is amazing and I wish that I never had to leave. An amazing school!

Yes

If you work hard enough, this school provides you with every opportunity to do something amazing, both during your time at UVa and afterwards

You DO have to work hard enough to achieve impact - it doesn't get handed to you, and no one is there to hold your hand through your academic career or recruiting

It might feel a bit bigger than some of the private schools but you can easily find your niche and thrive. Make sure the academics fit you and don't worry about whether you'll like the culture or not - it's big enough you'll find people you like

Yes

UVA uses the Common Application with a UVA supplement, which has a couple of essays. UVA does not have early decision or early action.

physics department cannot teach physics. Get your physics credit out of the way. They don't recognize IB credit, so take a lot of AP tests. Class sizes vary, grading is done (at least in engineering) by comparing how well you did with everyone else.

AWESOME

Standard application....
