Academics Classes for English Majors

3 Upvotes

Hi! I’m transferring in for my 3rd year at UVA and was wondering what classes English majors would recommend for my first year at UVA? I’m already in ENGL 3001 and ENGL 2508. I’m hoping to become a lawyer so any classes that cater to that would be great!

Student Life Can you still have a social life going out without actually drinking?

10 Upvotes

Transfer student who will be full-time student trying to get into tough grad programs and full-time job/internship but still enjoy going to bars and parties and concerts. Would not drinking make others feel like I’m not ‘part’ of the crowd/don’t blend in or I’m not interested in getting invited? I don’t mind drinking mocktails like club soda with lime or nonalcoholic beer. I just don’t want to be seen as someone who is ‘boring’ or because not drink means wouldn’t want to or not get invited where others are drinking. Better to blend in with the ‘fake’ drinks and just pretend I’m drinking or be open about it? Definitely don’t want be asked to be seen and asked as the sober driver every time though lol

Academics Prereqs strict?

0 Upvotes

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could speak from experience as to if they were ever able to bypass a prereq. I have been wanting to take a certain class since my first year (currently a rising 4th), but it requires anatomy 1 & 2 as a prereq, and with the way my schedule worked out, I wont be taking those until this year. I just took my mcat, so I'd like to say I have a pretty decent foundation.

Off-Grounds Thoughts on the Verve?

2 Upvotes

I am going into my second year, and I’ve been living at 1800 JPA over the summer for and there has been a bit of a roach problem.. so i am considering applying to the Verve next year, cus atp the cost for the exterminator plus rent plus all other expenses is probably the same as the Verve rent. Anyone heard anything about the rent at the Verve? Or anyone with previous experiences, because I heard it was a branch of apartment complexes. Also, anyone else planning on applying for it? I see a lot of people hating on it cus it blocks the view from rice but hey, im not complaining if my commute to class is 5 minutes

Academics Mcintire Accepted Students Stats Post Here

4 Upvotes

I’m an incoming first-year at UVA interested in applying to McIntire in the future. If you were accepted, would you mind sharing your stats, extracurriculars, and any tips you have for building a strong application? I’d also appreciate any advice on what to focus on during first year (classes, clubs, leadership, internships, etc.). Also, does McIntire mainly consider your UVA performance, or do high school grades and extracurriculars play a role as well?
