echols

<p>Have all of the echols letters been sent out? I assume that this means that I should not expect to be in the echols program....I did recieve a likely letter about a month ago, but there was no follow up</p>

<p>No, the have not gone out. I will post an update on my blog when I hear that they have been sent.</p>

<p>thanks dean j</p>

<p>oye! still...I was bankin on the March 20 that seemed to happen last year...oh well they said it'd be earlier than regular admission, so still not too far away</p>

<p>I</a> got an update this morning.</p>

<p>Does anyone know the answers to the following questions about Echols. What percentage of applicants receive an Echols letter? What is the yield for students who have received Echols? Are there benefits apart from: the honor, the opportunity to live with other Echols scholars, and class registration priority over your fellow students who are in the same year, i.e. first years, second years etc.? Is Echols awarded independently of in state or out of state status?</p>

<p>Hooray, now I'll be anxiously waiting for an e-mail today.
Post if you get one!!</p>

<p>Anybody heard yet? If letters were mailed on Friday, shouldn't somebody have heard by now?</p>

<p>Yeah I am surprised there hasn't been any postings for Rodman or Echols, they should have already sent out emails and the letters should be arriving today (for those Echols admits in Va)</p>

<p>hey, c'mon ehiunno, you and me, lets keep our fingers crossed
keeping hope alive is SO much more fun</p>

<p>I got your back, live4football!</p>

<p>Check my post in the other thread, I just got a call from a Rodman BME in the E-school :-).</p>

<p>only thing, lemme know if you actually get an e-mail...my only doubt (other than the obvious of I didn't get Rodman) is that I got in early so they won't waste their time calling me when they KNOW I'm calling and don't need to lure me</p>

<p>otherwise (wish there was a fingers crossed emoticon)</p>

<p>Ahhhhh, I have heard a lot of different rumors regarding ED guys and echols/rodman.</p>

<p>housie80 got an email, I haven't gotten anything yet :-/</p>

<p>what a rollercoaster</p>

<p>blech, I'm back to how I felt an hour and a half ago...but hey roller coasters are fun sometimes...</p>

<p>not this one</p>

<p>oh no!!! i want an email!!!</p>

<p>join the club
we have meetings on thursdays
bring dip</p>

<p>My D got an Echols letter today in the mail. So, the Echols are out, for those who are waiting.... BTW, for those who are interested, D's ACT was 32; SAT II's >650; ec's ok; rec's probably very good; ranks#1 in class of about 450 (public VA); NM Commended; hardest courses/Governor's School/12 AP's by graduation; 4.5+weighted gpa. Worked like a dog through hs. Good luck to everyone who wants to go to UVA.</p>

<p>I got a call about Echols this evening</p>

<p>any emails yet??</p>
