University of Virginia
Traditionally, Hoos First Look is a three-day, two-night, all-expense-paid program that would allow 20 low-income/first-generation, rising-juniors in high school (Graduating Class of 2023) to visit the University in the hopes of making them more competitive applicants in the admissions process. Due to the ongoing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has not yet been decided whether the 2021 program will be in-person or virtual.
Our objective is to show high-achieving, low-income/first-generation high school students that getting into a prestigious university is attainable by flying them to UVA and introducing them to the campus and its resources. This year the program takes place over the weekend of November 5 - November 7, 2021.
The Priority deadline for Hoos First Look is June 14th, 2021 at 11:59 PM EST and the Regular Decision deadline is September 14th, 2021 11:59 PM EST.
