I'm not quite sure how I'm supposed to answer this one. I don't know if your friend is a strong applicant.

It hasn't been mentioned because we haven't made any selections at this time.

I'm really, really not sure how to even start with this one. You were responding to southern, but I think you have questions for me. I think I've spelled out what likely letters are and who gets them pretty clearly at this point.</p>

<p>Those that received this letter today should feel lucky, because Monday is a holiday and everyone else will have to wait for the mail on Tuesday. Congrats to everyone that received one.</p>

<p>Sure,</p>

<p>SAT - CR 800 / M 740 / W 800

<p>The rest is on my stats page: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/profiles/member_stat_view.html?user_id=134745%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/profiles/member_stat_view.html?user_id=134745&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>UVA is basically the only school I hadn't heard from yet, so I guess it's just going to come down to a lot of college visits in March and April.</p>

<p>is this a likely letter? </p>

<p>Dear Mr. Shoukat:</p>

<p>The Committee on Admission has reviewed your application and found it impressive. Your academic record, as you are probably aware, is unusually strong; so are your achievements outside the classroom. In our experience, students who have distinguished themselves in such a wide range of activities tend to move successfully through their college years and into positions of leadership in their fields of interest. I trust that this will be the case with you and I encourage you to continue challenging yourself</p>

<p>Please let me know!</p>

34

<p>Yup, that's the letter.</p>

35

<p>so that means i have a pretty good chance of getting in..or is it an early acceptance letter?</p>

36

You can not apply directly to the business school as a first year. If you checked Comm (and right next to the check is says "Transfer Only"), you automatically are moved to the CLAS pool.</p>

<p>You apply to the Comm school in your second year.

It is what it is. A letter, not an offer of admission.</p>
