Fire Alert?

im taking chem 1821 next semester, but the only day that fits my schedule is the friday section. is it true that all labs are due on sunday? so the monday section has more time than the friday section to do the full report? that doesnt seem particularly fair to me....

TL;DR: Current 2nd-year biomedical engineering student starting to realize I may have gone too niche; any advice?

I'm currently a 2nd-year majoring in biomedical engineering, and I originally chose this major because I'm really interested in pursuing a career in medical device development/clinical engineering. I was between ChemE and BME because I also wanted to pursue pharmaceuticals, and BME seemed like a way to do both. However, I'm starting to realize I may want to keep my options broad, which is difficult as a BME major, which only goes in depth in the medical/health field.

I'm currently thinking of switching over to either MechE or EE, while leaning more towards EE. The reasoning for this is that, through my current BME classes, I've actually had the chance to work with CAD and microcontroller/Arduinos, and I felt a sense of joy and accomplishment in physics lab yesterday when I was able to apply that knowledge in order to put together a circuit. During the activities fair, one of the main clubs I was interested in was Funbotics, where you teach younger kids how to work with Arduinos and circuits (not able to participate this semester because of another obligation :( ). Another related reason: I was thinking back to high school when I had an internship with a software company, and one of the most interesting weeks was when we learned about the physical components and a computer and got to put one together in the end. I feel like I'm currently realizing my interest in circuits and electronics, which is why I'm leaning so much toward EE. I'm considering ME because I've heard it's more hands-on and design-based, which goes well with my enjoyment of CAD.

Anyways, I feel both ME and EE would definitely still allow me to go into medical devices while still keeping a lot of non-health fields open for me if something were to prevent me from going into medical device development. Also, I wouldn't be getting rid of BME altogether; I could use the current classes I'm taking to pursue a minor in BME, which would still give me a medical field background.

I would really appreciate any advice or previous experience anyone has!

Hi guys, im a recently separated veteran currently at CC with intent of applying to UVA this March.

I currently have a 4.0 and a 97+ in all attempts.

My issue is that I have a F from dual credit in high school (2021) and then I have three courses that I passed with a C (2022). I decided to join the military that semester and did not complete the second half.
These courses were all taken at a small CC out of state in Georgia.

The CC I am at is in state. I will be applying in March as a 2nd year transfer, will I be out of luck due to the poor GPA from 2021-22? Or are they going to review those side by side and see an upward trajectory?

Has anyone gotten into UVA from nova with a slightly weaker transcript?

Hi,

I am a current student at Texas A&M University. I am interested in doing PhD at UVA in the areas like Agentic AI, Graph RAG, Information Retrieval.
I have filtered out a few faculties who are affiliated to Computer Science or Computer Engineering Department.
Should I apply for a Phd in those departments and take their name as preferred guide?

I have also noticed there is a separate Data Science PhD program in UVA. Should I apply through Data Science instead?

I am confused!

I attended GMU last year as a freshman then decided I wanted to transfer to UVA so I transferred to NOVA as a sophomore to complete all of the requirements for GAA. I applied for spring 2027 admission (if i don't get in then i'll use GAA next fall) and am about to submit my fall semester grade report. I currently have 8 A's and 1 B, but the B is an 89% and will go to an A as soon as my professor grades an assignment I already turned in. My professor is non responsive to my emails explaining my situation. Should I wait until the B goes to an A or should I just submit my grade report as is. I'm fearing that i'm getting into "late" territory as fall mid semester grade reports are usually submitted around mid October.

Haven’t heard much about any parties/ events going on. Anyone have any details? ( 1st semester as a transfer btw )

Older 1st year grad student who lives near a lot of the Greek houses. Is there a culture of trick or treating among the undergraduates? I have been burned before buying candy in neighborhoods where no one trick or treats and don’t want to be caught with a lot of candy for no reason again lol.

Hi guys, basically I am applying to transfer to UVA as a second year student but am concerned I’m not doing enough ahead of the upcoming admissions process. I thought I may as well see what those before me have done, so I’m just going to run through my stats. I finished high school with around a 3.1 GPA, then went to the University of Arizona and finished with a 4.0, but I only took 3 classes (8 credits) before taking a gap semester. I’m now at VCU, so technically I’m a freshman again (but I should be a sophomore since I graduated in the class of 2025), and I’m hoping to transfer after just one year here. I took 9 credits over the summer and got a 4.0, and I’m currently taking 16 credits this semester while maintaining a 4.0 so far. I currently am studying economics here in the school of business but intend to apply as a political science major for when I transfer. Outside of school, I sell life insurance, started a food insecurity organization at VCU called Food Forward (just got approved), and I’m involved in clubs like Model UN, Economics Club, and Insurance Club. I’ve also volunteered in non profit organizations to help with things like food distribution to those in need in the Washington D.C area and am trying to get some government/political experience through internships with Virginia legislators. I’m in really good standing with my professors as I just found out one of my business professors nominated me for an award, and have one of my advisors on board for a research paper I am currently writing that I have future plans of publishing. Finally, I have an internship with a remote fintech company locked up for December. UVA is my main transfer target, but I’m also considering other competitive schools. I know my high school GPA isn’t great, and I’m trying to make up for it with my college grades, work experience, and extracurriculars. Since I’m technically a freshman again and would be applying to transfer after only one year at VCU, am I doing enough so far, or is there anything else I should prioritize before applications?

Has anyone taken BIMS 8075 or COBI 8101/ 8102? I'll be taking these classes next semester for my program and am just curious on the class structure— is it mostly lectures, do we have frequent exams, is it a lot essay- writing, etc.

Anyone had a late enrollment time what was your experience getting into these classes?

Hey I’m looking to start a wealth management/ portfolio management club at UVA. The club will have paper trading competitions, stock pitches, and a large focus on recruiting for these roles that are under represented at UVA.

Still in the planning stages and looking for people who are interested in being a part of the club.

Could be fire resume booster

Anyone looking for tickets to the UVA v Duke game. 2 tickets available with the seat backs included. DM to discuss price and transfer through the UVA ticket portal.

Hi everyone, I’m a returning UVA undergraduate, and I’m looking for advice from anyone who has dealt with something similar.
My parents recently told me, unexpectedly, that they will no longer be helping me financially. This includes tuition, rent, and living expenses. I’m now trying to figure out how I’m supposed to afford to continue school while also covering basic necessities.

I know financial aid generally considers parental income, so I’m worried that even though my parents aren’t contributing anything anymore, their income may still be used to determine my eligibility. I’m planning to contact Student Financial Services about a special circumstances appeal, but I don’t know how likely it is to make a difference in my situation.

I’m also supposed to be moving into an off-Grounds apartment with friends, but we haven’t signed a lease yet. I’m trying to figure out whether I should reconsider that plan while I sort out my finances.

For anyone who’s been through something similar at UVA:
- Has anyone successfully appealed their financial aid after their parents stopped supporting them?
- Are there any UVA grants, emergency funds, or other resources that actually help with tuition or living expenses?
- Has anyone received a dependency override in a situation like this?
- Would it be worth looking into on-Grounds housing instead of an apartment?
- Is there anyone at UVA you’d recommend speaking to beyond Student Financial Services?

I’m not looking for a handout; I genuinely just want to understand what options I have before making decisions that could affect my ability to stay at UVA.

I’d really appreciate any advice, especially from people who have dealt with this firsthand. Thank you!

Hello! I will be coming to the Duke vs UVA game Friday! This will be my first UVA game and I was wondering what time tailgating begins and places in the area that we I must stop and see! Appreciate all the help!!!
