    • @MeganKelleher
      @MeganKelleher  4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      make sure your grades are good, study hard for the sat/act & get involved in things you're passionate about!! & when you go to fill out your college apps, spend a lot of time on your essays - they really make you stand out!

      Julia Funck 2 more tips: 1, apply Early Decision. This basically means that if you get accepted, you HAVE to go. You have a MUCH higher chance of getting in this way than applying through Regular. 2, see if you can do some sort of summer program at UVA. It’s a good way to show interest, and you can reflect upon it in your essays. Good luck!

    Hey Megan! I am a rising first year at UVA and this video was so helpful!!! I am interested in the comm school too....are you going to make a vid about business at UVA? I am kinda nervous abt keeping my GPA high (to get into mcintire) and still being social and taking advantage of the opportunities at UVA but super excited for the fall!!!

    • @MeganKelleher
      @MeganKelleher  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      totally get where you're coming from!! i think i might make a video about it this summer/talk about it in my first year video bc there's definitely some things i've learned along the way! first semester i struggled trying to figure everything out but i still bounced back so don't stress too much about it!

    Hey!! Love this video ofc :) I know you didn’t transfer into UVA but I was wondering if you had any tips on joining clubs/getting more involved. I’ll be transferring next year as a second year. I know you said you joined a sorority and are involved in a few other activities but do you have any other suggestions? Stay healthy!!

    • @MeganKelleher
      @MeganKelleher  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Catherine M joining a sorority was actually super cool to get to know other girls who were involved in different things I’ve learned so much from them!! I went to the spring activities fair (after first semester) & told myself I was going to try & find two things I could do. Madison house is huge at UVA and has almost all kinds of volunteering. There’s also a website of all of the clubs so honestly just go through there and see what piques your interest & reach out to the president of the club or something & see how you can get involved! If you’re interested in media, WUVA is the best ;)

    hi i love the video!! i was wondering what the social experience is like for out of state students, have u noticed it being hard for people who don’t know anyone going in to make friends or fall into a social circle?

    • @MeganKelleher
      @MeganKelleher  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      YAY thank u so much for watching!! while i never experienced the out of state experience, I definitely had a lot of friends first year who were out of state. my best advice is to keep your door open the first couple of weeks and join organizations & such to meet as many people as possible! honestly college (in state or out of state) is a little hard to make friends at first, so just be open to anything! it takes time (more than ppl let on), I didn't find my closest friends until second semester first year. you will find your people!!

    I really want to go to UVA, but I am an out of state student and I am scared I will not get in. Do you have any recommendations for what will help my application stand out or some things that UVA is looking for in applicants?

    • @MeganKelleher
      @MeganKelleher  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Abigailia not sure if they look for this specifically but something I’ve noticed is that a lot of people here are passionate about something!! so in your essays if you’re talking about a topic that you’re passionate about (whether it’s something big or small), they’ll definitely be able to see that! I actually made a video with essay writing tips (esp. about creating a narrative about yourself) but imo that’s how u stand out on an application. most people have around the same grades/test scores (ish) so what really makes ur app is ur essays!!

    I got into the McIntire School as a out of state transfer. For me the cost of attendance is $85k and I got a scholarship of $64k which makes the total net cost $21k. Do tou think it’s worth the cost?

      yes!! you can apply into the McIntire School of Commerce (business school) when you are a second year in your second semester. unfortunately you can't apply straight into mcintire when you get to uva bUT it's kind of nice because you can explore other interests too!
