Is this a likely letter?

<p>Hey I just received some stuff from U.Va. Engineering and it included a letter that starts with:</p>

<p>"I know what you're...what I can say is that the U.Va. Admission Office sent me your name as a student who is one of our strongest 2008 applicants to the U.Va.'s SEAS. Congratulations on all your success in and out of the classroom! </p>

<p>My guess is that, you will soon be receiving acceptances from some of the finest engineering schools in the country. Let me tell you what..."</p>

<p>I sounds somewhat like a likely letter, but I still don't know if it is, or if it's something E-school specific. What do you guys think?</p>

2

<p>Yes you are.</p>

3

<p>Ahah thanks. Did you apply to SEAS?</p>

4

<p>Yes, OOS, no LL, but hopeful.</p>

<p>Hate to say this and don't know why UVA would sent that letter in less you're in, but it sounds too indirect to be a "likely". Is there any more specific language in the letter? If not, maybe the Engineering Department should have someone in the English Dept. rewrite the letter for them. Still, congrats--I bet you're in</p>

<p>Yea I agree, it does sounds a bit indirect so I'm still confused.</p>

<p>Regardless, it sounds like a really nice letter to have under your belt and I'm not real sure why they would send it out so close to decision time unless it were a LL. I hope it is and you get in. Got to keep the positive Karma rolling!</p>

<p>Ahaha definitely, thanks</p>

<p>So I just read a post written March 13th on the Admissions blog that said...</p>

<p>"Another round of those "likely letters" should be hitting mailboxes today and tomorrow (or over the weekend if you live very far away)."</p>

<p>And I saw mine in the mailbox over the weekend so hopefully that's more of an indication that it's a likely letter.</p>
