The estimated delivery date for my fedex package is April 5th. It's interesting considering that Charlottesville is only 2 hours away...

Yeah, same here; you in DC too?

I'm assuming that this is just the initial FedEx delivery estimate that will probably change. I spoke with the admissions office this morning and they said that the stuff was sent out yesterday and that I'd probably get it today, but we'll see.

I am in Arlington. Let's hope so!

Guys,
Sorry for digressing, but I see that many of you show your school accept/WL/Ding statuses through colours on your profile. I just got admitted to Darden, and really really want to show it off in beautiful green like many of you guys have done. Do tell me how to do it! ( being an IT guy, I actually feel pretty lame for asking this question).

When did you hear?

Sorry, I guess the "just got admitted" part was misleading. I had heard on the 25th itself.

does anyone know if second year students will generally qualify for in state tuition?

and does anyone know why the bundled laptop that darden offers costs $3k? i understand that it comes with darden software, MS office apps, and a service contract but that still seems ridiculous.

just trying to price out total costs....

Response from another school regarding in state tuition in 2nd yr:

"No. Residency for tuition purposes is determined upon admission and remains constant throughout your program."

For the laptop, I checked last year's bundle and it was around $1700 (choice btw Lenovo T400 and Dell E6400) including software and warranty, still quite expensive given you get the same configuration for less than $1000 in Lenovo promotions, which are quite often. But then you need another $300/400 to have UVA IT install the required software for Darden (anti virus, email configuration, and crystal ball). Well, I guess you just need to spend money to learn how to make money:-)

Mine was updated to read:
Mar 31, 2010 3:39 PM
Picked up
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA

My guess is that they "mailed" them (or at least whichever batch mine was in) yesterday at COB, but beyond the FedEx deadline, so they didn't really go out until today. I'm guessing mine will arrive tomorrow but who knows.

Thanks atwater. I would still be interested in knowing how UVA handles this situation, as I have heard that some institutions will grant in-state tuition to students after the first year (don't remember where I heard that, though, sorry).

I posed this exact question to Larry Mueller, the Director of Financial Aid, when I visited in the fall. His response was a bit vague, but he claimed that if you establish residence (pay taxes, register your car, etc.), it is possible to qualify as an in-state student for your second year. I didn't follow through with the process, but if you're serious about the idea, I'd suggest contacting the Financial Aid office and determine the necessary steps for residency.

It's possible to get in-state status in theory, but in practice it's quite difficult. You have to show proof that you're planning to settle down in the state. I understand that if you happen to be getting married to a working (in other words, state TAX-paying), Virginia resident while a student, you can get in-state residency immediately. Other than that, you have to do a few different things (file taxes, register your car, register to vote, and get a driver's license) and then you might have a chance but it's no guarantee.

I know that in other states it can be relatively to get in-state status (e.g. California), but Virginia can be rather difficult.

WTF.

I saw this update to my tracking info earlier, which didn't concern me because I assumed that Richmond is a FedEx hub or something:

Apr 1, 2010 12:29 AM
At local FedEx facility
RICHMOND, VA

I just checked again, and ... wow:
Apr 1, 2010 8:40 AM
Arrived at FedEx location
MEMPHIS, TN

I live near DC. Awesome. I can't wait this long to hear. I'm going to call Admissions shortly and see if they can email my info to me or something.

That sucks but it follows their business model. They, like most major airlines, use the hub and spoke system. The package was delivered to the nearest airport FedEx flies out of, likely by truck (Richmond). It was then flown to their main "Hub" (Memphis) where it will depart for DC (Likely Dulles).
