Some interesting facts about UVA Law School

Founded by Thomas Jefferson in 1819, the University of Virginia School of Law is the second-oldest continuously operating law school in the nation. UVA Law is a world-renowned training ground for distinguished lawyers and public servants, instilling in them a commitment to leadership, integrity, and community service.

Virginia is justly famous for its collegial environment that bonds students and faculty, and student satisfaction is consistently cited as among the highest in American law schools. UVA Law has been recognized as a leader in providing a high quality of life as well as some of the best professors, classroom experiences, and career prospects for its students. LLM students not only get to know other LLM students from all over the world, but also the JD students and our outstanding faculty as well. The same faculty—leading scholars and acknowledged experts in all aspects of public and private law—teach LLM and JD students. At Virginia, law students share their experiences in a cooperative spirit, both in and out of the classroom, and build a network that lasts well beyond their time here.

For foreign law graduates, the LLM program is designed to provide both a broad introduction to American law and legal theory, and advanced training in specialized areas of law that are relevant to the individual student’s planned career in private practice, academics, or public service. Because Virginia offers more than 270 courses each year in an array of topics, students in the program also have wide latitude to plan courses of study that are tailored to their individual interests and career objectives.

I applied Sept 25th and still have not heard anything (unlike many other people who have applied around that time). GPA/LSAT are both well above their medians and I wrote a why UVA. Should I start worrying.

i had ur 1 only on monday
u2 for me lol I'm way below medians but they gave me a fee and cas waiver so why not? worst that can happen is an R (which I truly expect lol)
@CleanUpbeatCucumber: I'm in the same position with almost the exact same dates. Numbers above medians too. Not quite sure, but it seems that UVA is super unpredictable.
Yeah it seems like UVA is really dedicated to people who they think fit the school. I hope that’s me, as it’s my dream school, but if it’s not, then so be it
I wish you good luck!
I've gone through URI and URII very fast. Is that a bad sign
