<p>yeah, i called up the UVA admissions office today. and they said that they sent out some Echols and Rodman letters last friday, but they still have more to send out this week. so not completely hopeless eh. and oh i was wondering, see i got this letter from UVA in feburary about something that they are really impressed with my profile and would like me to seriously consider UVA. does that mean I'm accepted or something? I mean i dont want to get my hopes up or anything.</p>

8

<p>that's a likely letter. it means that it is extremely likely that you are accepted. they are probably considering you for echols too.</p>

<p>Subjective:</p>

<pre><code>* Essays: okay.. wrote them all myself with help from ivy league friend
* Teacher Recs: very good
* Counselor Rec: very good
* Hook (if any): lots of ECs. I did stuff you guys can only dream of. I did flood relief work with an international NGO here in South Asia. Taught in school for destitute children.

<p>General Comments: Glad I was accepted but I was not surprised. Since I am an international I have to pay $30,000+ as I do not qualify for aid and this was probably the main factor. But I will definitely not join as I cannot afford so much -- one of you wait listed guys can start praying!</p>

<p>Wow, congratulations to all of the Rodman/Echols/International students! I'd be honored to share a campus with any of you. I also think that you guys should get special scholarships for time management skills. There's no way to be that successful without time management skills - kudos. </p>

<p>(On a side note, if you are posting decisions and are international, can you please put "international" instead of "out-of-state?" It's just that I (and other people probably) freak out every time there is a post and I think they've released decisions early until I see that the country is not the United States. By all means, I want to see your success, but just to save us from heart attacks...;) Thanks.)</p>
