<p>I live in northern VA, and got a likely today too!!! It is just like what Prussia! posted. I hope this means I am a strong contender for the Honors program. Though that will make my college decisions harder to make.</p>
<p>Out of stater here-- NC-- got mine today!</p>
<p>I just received a very nice email from the Alumni Association inviting me to apply for the Legacy Scholarship. A previous post on the blog said, </p>
<p>Most students won’t hear anything from us until April 1st*, notification day. If you happen to get a nice call or email from a student, a Likely Letter from our office, or some information from a school or department, see it as a nice surprise.</p>
<p>Can I take this as a wink wink, nudge nudge or is that just over anxious wishful thinking?</p>
<p>Murphy/Johnny, I just answered the question on my blog…</p>
<p>
I’m not familiar with this scholarship. It’s either new or hasn’t been publicized all that much in the past.</p>
<p>Our son received his this afternoon. Anyone know if there is still a shot at the Echols, since at least some calls have already been made?</p>
<p>I got a likely letter!! I AM SO PSYCHED!!!</p>
<p>Thanks for your quick response Dean J!</p>

<p>I got one! Out of state (NJ). I won’t share stats but they’re fine just like the rest of the candidates. How confident are these letters in our admission?</p>
<p>Got mine (same as Prussia’s) today in Texas. You can see my stats in my one of my earliest posts.</p>
<p>Prussia, my son got one today with your wording and he was confused too. Called admissions and that wording is a likely letter. Congratulations!!!</p>
<p>i live in nj, and got one today. the wording confused me as well!</p>
<p>[Notes</a> from Peabody: The UVA Application Process](<a href=“http://uvaapplication.blogspot.com/]Notes”>http://uvaapplication.blogspot.com/)</p>
<p>a couple posts down there’s some info about likely letters</p>
<p>EDIT: oh, and quick stats.

SATII’s 790,790,780
GPA 5.025 weighted, 4.0 unweighted
Rank 3/455

<p>do the likely letters start with “The Committee on Admission has reviewed your application and found it impressive.”? Because if so, I got one!</p>
<p>and I’m an out-of-stater too, PA</p>
<p>Sorry for asking again, but are these a good indication of being accepted?</p>
<p>yeah, it is basically saying that unless you screw up now, you’ll most likely be accepted.</p>
<p>Likely in Louisiana!</p>
<p>Do these letters come in the mail or via email?</p>
<p>I am from TEXAS and just got a likely letter! My SAT was a 2110 with writing 1380 without. 4.11 GPA. Good essays, recs extras etc… CONGRATS EVERYONE ELSE WHO GOT ONE!! I have been waiting for this since I was in fifth grade, the first time I ever visited the campus</p>
<p>Likely letter from Washington! I was so shocked when I opened the envelope and read what was inside. Congrats everyone who got one!</p>
<p>@llimabean22: they come in the mail</p>
