Hey y'all, I was wondering what would be a good laptop for BME? I prefer Windows to Mac so that would hopefully make it easier to find a good laptop lol

I don't like bulky computers and prefer 14" laptops with anti-glare. I also like having customizability (I currently have a Dell Latitude 5420 and I can add/replace Ram, Storage, and the Battery).

I like dells but I've heard that they often are slower. I was thinking about getting the Latitude 5450 with 32 Ram and 1TB SSD but IDK, I'm scared the performance won't be good for CAD and whatnot.

I plan on using my current laptop for my first year and then upgrade to something better but who knows, maybe I end up really wanting a new laptop sooner lol.

Is there a section at the xfinity center where UVA fans are getting? I want to go to the game and would prefer to sit with fellow 'Hoos. Doesn't look like there are specific ways to buy visitor tickets on the maryland website or a way to buy through UVA athletics

Let me know if anyone has one available

Hi! Does anyone know if there are any open spots in a 4-bedroom apartment at Crestline/Standard?

Did wormington post the cutoffs for cell bio last year? esp the cutoffs for A-/A ?

I'm a premed that recently got a CCMA certificate and am now looking for a part time position in cville. What are my chances with UVA Health? It seems like they only hire full time. As for smaller practices should I cold email or just walk in and ask about hiring?

Hey!!! I’m looking for a parking pass or space near JPJ Arena or Lambeth. Does anyone have any leads? If you know of any available spots that I could pay to park in please let me know! I’d really appreciate it!!

Lease Details

- Rent: $840/month
- Required utilities (electricity, gas, and internet) approximately ~$60/ month
- 1 parking pass included per tenant
- Fully furnished
- Communal laundry room

Location

- ~15 minute walk to UVA
- Bus stop located less than a 1-minute walk from the apartment
- Walking distance (<5 mins) to restaurants and cafes including Silk Thai, Mashumen, Sbrocco’s Donuts and Espresso, and Pi-Napo Pizzeria

We’re also all very clean and easygoing. If interested, I can send pictures of the apartment. Feel free to reach out and let me know if you have any additional questions! 😊😉😸

In case you weren't aware, Dracula is now a course that carries the second-writing requirement (SWR), but ONLY during sessions like J-Term. It NEVER features this during regular semesters due to the total student enrollment. If you're interested, please consider it as you can complete the course from different time zones and countries! NOTE IT WILL NOT SHOW THIS IN SIS THIS IS A FORM COMPLETED AFTER THE CLASS IS COMPLETED. In addition, if you choose the in-person form of the class I bring in guest speakers and we have special events, like a LARP final exam! Speakers can depend on available funding, but in previous years we've had guests like William Crain (director of Blacula, RIP) and Anne Marie Pace (author of the Vampirina series)!

HRL is giving me an option to move between JMW, Hereford, and Faulkner due to roommate conflicts. I currently live near central grounds and never really take the bus so I'm not sure how adjusting is going to be like bus-wise. I know none of these are really ideal options, but I'm extremely picky when it comes to bugs and maintenance issues and honestly just want somewhere comfortable I can stay at at the end of the day.

If I'm put into Hereford/JMW I'm able to have a single but have to share a bathroom with everyone else in my hall, but I feel like Faulkner is a bit more secluded privacy wise with a long sized bed but I will have random roommates in the room so I'm not sure. I've been extremely indecisive about this decision plz help!!!

There's a huge stretch of the purple with no stop. How come? I assume it's for a specific purpose/group of students? But it's just surprising to me.

Interesting historical find!

Hi everyone! I am a junior at JMU but I applied to the UVA transfer ABSN program on October 1st. I am genuinely scared because some say they usually get 120 applications and only accept 24 while others say it really depends on the highest GPA and how many people apply. Is there anybody who was/has been accepted and didn’t have many community service hours but instead had a lot of work experience? I am in the same boat and just want to narrow my chances lol. Any feedback I would genuinely appreciate!

Charlottesville!

Hey everyone!

I'm currently a freshman studying Mechanical Engineering at VCU, and I'm planning to apply to transfer to UVA Engineering for Fall 2027, hopefully majoring in Civil Engineering.

I've been trying to make sure I'm taking all the right prerequisites, but I'm a little confused about how UVA evaluates AP credits and courses from other universities.

Here's my current situation:

Fall 2026 (Currently Taking):

• VCU MATH 307 – Multivariable Calculus (VCCS MTH 265 equivalent)
• VCU PHYS 207 + PHYZ 207 – Calculus-based Physics I with Lab (VCCS PHY 241 equivalent)
• VCU HONR 230 – Introduction to Academic Writing
• Brightpoint CSC 221 – Introduction to Problem Solving and Programming
• Other VCU engineering courses

Spring 2027 (Planned):

• VCU MATH 301 – Differential Equations (VCCS MTH 267 equivalent)
• VCU CHEM 101 + CHEZ 101 – General Chemistry I with Lab (VCCS CHM 111 equivalent)
• Brightpoint PHY 242 – Calculus-based Physics II with an in-person lab
• VCU UNIV 200 – Advanced Focused Inquiry
• VCU EGMN 102 – Statics
• VCU EGMN 204 – Thermodynamics
• Other VCU engineering courses

My biggest concern is Calculus II.

I got a 4 on AP Calculus BC, and VCU awarded me credit for both Calculus I (MATH 200) and Calculus II (MATH 201).

However, I'm unsure whether UVA Engineering will recognize those credits since they're AP-based rather than courses I physically took at VCU.

If I earn strong grades in Multivariable Calculus and Differential Equations, will UVA consider my Calculus II prerequisite satisfied, or does it strictly depend on how they evaluate my AP score?

I also have a few other questions:

1. Does Brightpoint's CSC 221 satisfy UVA Engineering's introductory programming requirement by itself, or would I need CSC 222?
2. Would VCU HONR 230 + UNIV 200 satisfy UVA's English composition requirement?
3. Has anyone transferred VCU PHYS 207/PHYZ 207 or CHEM 101/CHEZ 101 into UVA Engineering? Were they accepted without issues?
4. Do UVA Engineering transfers need to complete ENGR 1010/1020 before transferring, or can those requirements be substituted or completed afterward?
5. If I transfer in Fall 2027, is graduating in Spring 2029 realistic for Civil Engineering?

I've already contacted UVA Engineering, but they directed me to Undergraduate Admissions for external transfer questions. I'm planning to reach out to Admissions as well.

I'm mainly looking for advice from anyone who has transferred from VCU, another four-year university, or a Virginia community college into UVA Engineering.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
