<p>I received a letter from John T. Casteen, President of UVa. It looks pretty standard, but I'm wondering if anybody else got on and what it means.</p>
<p>It begins: "I write to congratulate you on your admission to the University of Virginia and to express a few thoughts about education here."</p>
<p>I got one. I guess it’s just a welcoming letter?</p>
<p>It means exactly what it says! Welcome to UVa!</p>
<p>I got one, since I accepted my admissions offer. Just a nice welcome letter as Dean J statted.</p>
<p>I got one too, judging by the date they must have been sent out after you accepted your admission online.</p>
<p>I don’t think that’s so… I accepted yesterday and, coincidentally, got that same letter yesterday as well.</p>
<p>Clearly, UVa has figured out teleportation.</p>
<p>It’s a letter that goes to all admitted students. </p>
<p>This is really normal. I remember getting a letter from the President of my Alma Mater after I was admitted as a senior in high school. This is a standard piece of communication, welcoming you to our community. :)</p>
<p>and I thought I was special :</p>
<p>I thought your generation was the one where everyone got a trophy, so you’d know that everyone is special! ;)</p>
