<p>"Last year, I believe there we ran the letters three different times during the reading process. There are still plenty of applications to read and more letters will be run at some point in the future. I'll let you all know on this blog when they get sent out again.</p>
<p>We are still "first reading" applications at this point. The administrative staff that has been scanning and linking mid-year reports is also trying to contact students and schools about missing documents to get nearly complete applications ready to read.</p>
<p>We are still over a month away from having decisions ready. Hang in there!"</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>question re. echolls: i know they're making calls now, what exactly do they say when they call you? and if they call and you don't respond, they'll call back right? or do they leave a message? i'm just really curious about this... any insight would be great! :)</p>
<p>A student just called me and told me that I was being considered for Echols. Then she just went on to describe what the program entailed. Like a ten minute phone call, no big deal.</p>
<p>congrats to everyone who got a LL! To everyone who didn't, don't worry AT ALL. These are sent to a very, very minute number of applicants. However, to put it in perspective, you don't only need a crazy high SAT. Last year I received one with:</p>
<p>~2100 SAT
top 1.5% class rank
increasing GPA every semester of hs
OOS, San Diego, from a high school that wasn't even listed on their database lol</p>
<p>However, I did a TON of stuff in high school, and had leadership in virtually every organization/team I was a part of. And I wrote a very hit-and-miss essay, that apparently was a hit (probably because it took a really unique approach to one of the prompts).</p>
<p>So congrats again and go Hoos :)</p>
<p>Dean J, can you give us any guidance as to when the next wave of likely letters is likely to occur? Or will any future waves be bypassed in favor of actual decisions?</p>
<p>^i second that question :)</p>
<p>Dean J just updated her blog:</p>
<p>Notes</a> from Peabody: The UVA Application Process</p>
<p>Good Luck everyone!!</p>
<p>just read dean j's post! i already got a likely, but good luck everyone else!!! <3</p>
<p>I got the same letter. </p>
<p>4.40 W
CR 800 M 780 WR 730
Top 10% (Who knows what my exact placement is since they don't rank)
From Western PA</p>
<p>Has anyone received a likely letter from the second (and apparently final) wave?</p>
<p>ahh Im wondering the same thing dms. I keep checking my mailbox even though i know the mail doesnt come until 3:00.</p>
<p>I think I got one,</p>
<p>it says " the committee on admissions has reviewed your app and found it impressive...." and ends with "we wish you every success as you complete your high school career"</p>

<p>is this a likely letter?</p>
<p>that would be it [well...from what i've read, that's the wording...i haven't actually gotten one]
well it's nice to know that people get them without 2380 sat's :) maybe a little hope for the rest of us?? lol jk
good job</p>
<p>haha, yea I was almost certain I was not going to get one because my SAT scores were low compared to others who did, and everyone I know said that too.</p>
<p>Haha, yea, anything is possible, even with a 1980!</p>
<p>I am so happy I got one, and I am so relieved that my hard work in high school finally helped me get this, I hope I get into UVA!! and i say this because of my friends last year got one and was rejected( and she had legacy from parents and siblings who graduated) , not sure why she was, but I am afraid of this! lol
Im instate by the way, central VA</p>
<p>Did you get it today?</p>
<p>huh. so no one else got one from the second round yet? i thought for sure they'd be out by today!</p>
<p>I got one today!</p>
<p>uh yea, i got my today</p>
