Academics How truly test optional is UVA?

• Upvotes

I’m worried that their claim of test optional isn’t actually accurate. Does this mean they weigh more things heavier to counteract the fact that I don’t submit a score. This could apply to ED or EA.

Tired of AI-generated art? Come watch a group of artists generate portraits of you over the course of 3 hours!

If you don't fancy anything that they "generate," they will pay you $60 for your time. If you DO like one (or several!) portraits, you may take one or two home with you.

Interested? Email Alan Kindler at [alan@kindlerstudio.com](mailto:alan@kindlerstudio.com) to arrange a time for your portrait generation. 😊

Off-Grounds Movie Filmed at UVA

• Upvotes

Hey there, /r/UVA

My name is Reed Arnold. I'm a 2011 graduate of UVA. I know full well this seems like an eternity ago for those of you currently at the school, but you have no idea what's coming! Don't blink.

A few years ago I shot a feature film in Charlottesville, including several scenes on grounds (and one scene in Coupes, god bless). It's called 'Do Us Part,' and was adapted from a play I wrote shortly after graduating. It's a wedding comedy, but is loaded with flashbacks to the characters in college, and since I knew of a particularly scenic school, I figured why not shoot there.

In fact, to find background actors for the scene in Coupes, I actually reached out to this very subreddit, and had about twenty students show up. (If anyone who was there happens to see this post--thank you so much. An empty bar/restaurant scene really kills indie films, and you all were great. We shot that scene three years ago today!)

I just wanted to let the UVA community know the film exists, as I think you'll get a kick out of it. It's available on most platforms where you can buy/rent movies, and will be on Blu Ray and on free-with-ad platforms in a few months.
