<p>so decisions are already made i think? its just a matter of when uva actually notifies us right....man our applications are probably just istting there in uva's admissions office in the "accepted" "deferred" or "rejected" piles</p>

42

<p>good point laxguy..</p>

<p>and as for not over-analyzing. we need to just enjoy senior year and stop worrying about it. they'll come out when they come out. its out of our hands now. just have some fun until then.</p>

43

<p>Since Dean J said we would'nt be notified Tomorrow, Monday, or Tuesday, then we must find out today!</p>

44

<p>..or saturday or sunday or wednesday or thursday or... FRIDAY (when it's actually supposed to come out!)</p>

<p>holy crap guys, i can't believe this whole thread is actually devoted to fretting over when decisions come out. yes, i'm anxious too, but there's just over a week left. patience is key.</p>

45

<p>My d is a second year, decisions were posted the day before Thanksgiving. She received hers in the mail the Sat. after thanksgiving.
In 2004 the day before Thanksgiving was Nov 24.</p>

<p>Remember that the deadline was extended to Nov 5th this year. </p>

<p>Relax, have a great weekend and start checking at the end of next week.</p>

46

<p>i haven't seen anything about anybody knowing how uva posts their decisions...</p>

<p>my friend says that it's just a STATUS: admitted / deferred / denied deal...so one word, not an online version of the letter or anything like that.</p>

<p>just a heads up for everyone, i mean i think one word is kind of harsh/finite, i'd much rather read a longer thing or something. maybe that's just me. </p>

<p>good luck everyone!</p>

47

<p>A short sentence shows up on the online accounts (not just one word). The formal letters will follow in the mail.</p>

<p>Last Year this is what my daughter received on 11/30; I will never forget the excitement she and I felt as we both kept logging in on separate computers in the house from 4:56-5:00....This is what she got:</p>

<p>i'm so excited i found a forum where other people who went early to uva can worry together! i went for the E-school out of state, so i'm really nervous since apparantly they only accept about 500 total a year, with most of those instate...i'm chompin at the bit to find out...today i found out i got into GT which is great, but i won't be happy until i know i'm a hoo!</p>

<p>Not true. Last year they accepted 1192 to the e-school, or 56% of completed applications. The best odds of any UVa School. </p>

<p><a href="http://www.web.virginia.edu/iaas/data_catalog/institutional/data_digest/adm_first.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.web.virginia.edu/iaas/data_catalog/institutional/data_digest/adm_first.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

51

<p>is that because applicants to the e-school tend to be stronger? or is it just easier to get into?</p>

52

<p>couple the facts that the e-school gets fewer applications per spot and that UVa is trying to expand its e-school you'll get a high acceptance rate.</p>

<p>I can't really point you anywhere for this data, but I'm fairly certain that the average e-school SAT scores are higher than the average SAT scores for all the other schools at UVa. That points to a more self selecting group of people.</p>

<p>needless to say, i would be surprised if people in the e-school didn't get in had they applied to the college.</p>

53

<p>So I know all the diff boards do it...and I want to get a firm count and hopefully get to know future fellow students. so ill start</p>
