<p>Oh, and springbok...were letters about candidacy for Echols also sent out? I did not know UVa did this.</p>
<p>Yes!! I wasn't sure if it was a likely because it was even more ambiguously worded than others I've seen/received, but that's great.</p>
<p>haha yeah, it was SO ambiguous! i read it out loud to my mom and neither of us knew what to make of it, so i was like... college confidential will know! and so i came here. thank goodness. now it's taped to my fridge =)</p>
<p>lol ovechkin, of course it isn't just TJ kids. I go there and I haven't received one. <em>crosses fingers</em></p>
<p>No, I got the news about Echols by phone call. It was interesting b/c I got the phone call right as I was reading the letter. Double-dose of good news. =]</p>
<p>I hope I get one, but my SAT scores aren't that great (only an 1860). Ultimately, I still to get in.</p>

<p>I was so excited!!!</p>
<p>i thought this was something that they would only give to TJ kids in Northern Virginia. haha</p>
<p>Hahahaha
I go to the Academy of Science and hopefully applying to UVA!</p>
<p>If people in your area have already received likely letters, does that imply that you will not get one? Or do they come out in "waves"?</p>
<p>They come out in "waves". UVA has not even finished making decisions yet.</p>
<p>Any idea, based on uva's history with likely letters, how many waves come out and when?</p>
<p>I second that question!</p>
<p>On the dean's blog he said something like 2-3 waves of likely letters</p>
<p>she, not he</p>
<p>Not that it matters, but is there any way you could link me to where that was posted? I'm paranoid. Lol.</p>
<p>Letter arrived in Florida! :)</p>
