Calling all Darden Fall 2010 Applicants!

the acct module is very poorly formulated IMHO. I had trouble understanding some questions. I think it took me about 7 attempts to finally score 85%.

Anybode registered their uva email accts? I keep getting the page with 72 hour rule. I submitted my deposit last saturday and it was recorded on Monday. I guess there really is no hurry. I am just like a kid who is so excited and wants to play with every toy...

You and me both. It's good though, to enjoy the prep process. Where do we sign up for PCAP, by the way?

Serious business aside, anyone else getting tickets for Muse on October 27th?

I'm planning to arrive mid-July since I'm an international and need to settle in. Definitely attending PCAP too.
To those who secured Ivy lease, how long did you have to wait to get your lease? Still no word on mine. Did you get your preferred move in dates?

How do you register the UVA email account? I sent in my deposit check a few weeks ago. Thanks.



It took them a couple of weeks after I filled out the online application to send me the lease. I didn't get exactly the move-in date I wanted (It was a week earlier than my preferred date), but I did get the building/apartment type I asked for.

Can you elaborate on the bolded part? She more or less told me the opposite when I spoke to her a few months ago.

EDIT: Nevermind, asked once already

She told me all you have to do is check whether or not you intend to take out PLUS loans on the SIS webpage (UVA page). On the.gov site she told me to just sign MPN for both sub/unsub and PLUS. There was a section of the site related to applying for PLUS loans and below is my communication with Amanda Mills:

Amanda -
Do I need to apply for the PLUS loan at the same place I sign MPN?
I was a little confused with the process.
Thanks,


On the UVA Financial Aid Application, on the Intent Page, you would have checked the box for a grad plus loan.


So at the .gov website I should just sign MPN for both Subsidized/Unsubsidized and Grad PLUS, right?

You are correct

I do have one more question. As a recipient of the loan I chose University of Virginia, is this correct? I didn't see Darden in the list.

Yes it is the University of Virginia


I hope it helps to sort out any possible confusion.

How do you register the UVA email account? I sent in my deposit check a few weeks ago. Thanks.

Go to your checklist, and then under activate an email account portion you would see the link with instructions.

I attempted to create my Darden email address by clicking the link in the checklist. I followed the steps and went through the tutorial and exam. At the end of it, I received a UVA email and not a Darden email.. I'm confused. Are we supposed to have both? How do we get the Darden email?

I believe you get a generic UVA email first (comprised of random characters) and then later we'll receive a Darden email that's basically your name @darden.uva.edu or something if I recall correctly.

Thanks ACNguy!
So no action for us yet to activate the Darden email right? Just making sure I'm not missing out any steps

I don't have a computing ID to sign up for the email Do other round 2 applicants have a computing ID yet? If you do, how did you go about getting one? Thanks!

I definitely do, as should everyone else by now, I'd imagine. It's a five-character (if memory serves) login that you use for the website on which you fill out your financial aid info for Darden.

Was the computing ID emailed to you automatically or did you have to ask for it? Thanks.

It was e-mailed.

Thanks 20lvo! I just sent admissions an email asking them what's up.

Have we seen any movement on the R3 front? I haven't heard a thing.
