<p>I got a letter today from UVA, but it's not a likely letter. I'm not sure what to make of it- did any of you get one? It says that the Committee of Admission has looked over my application and is very impressed and that my grades and ECs are "unusually strong." What does this mean?</p>
<p>Congratulations, but give me a break. You are in. Also, if you are not bragging, sorry for being rude.</p>
<p>ditto, congratulations!</p>
<p>Yes I also got that letter, and was wondering about the same.</p>
<p>It sounds like a likely letter to me. I didn't get one :( So be happy!</p>
<p>no i wasn't bragging... it just didn't seem like a likely letter...congratulations Flavian! :)</p>
<p>I meant...be happy that you got one. not that i didn't get one.</p>
<p>i got one too!</p>
<p>does anyone know HOW LIKELY it is that you're in???</p>
<p>i'm asking because they might not be happy with my semester grades (a C in an AP class -- is this reason enough for me not to get in??)</p>
<p>thanks for all y'all's input.</p>

<p>wow...intimidating. Fortunately, it's too late for me to worry about that now.</p>
<p>Ah... the mysterious letter... while I can't <em>assure</em> you that this is the case, in the past this kind of letter has been sent out in advance to those who are likely to receive Echols/Rodman invitations.</p>
<p>i wish i got that... flavian your gpa is weighted? 3.96? if it is... wow thats bs coz i called uva why i was deferred. they said it was my gpa.. my gpa was 4.32 when i sent in the application</p>

great ecs and essays</p>
<p>people keep saying they had great essays. I'm curious now, what did you choose to write about?</p>
<p>if you got the letter, or were exceptionally good, do you think the adcoms bothered reading your essays</p>
