<p>ovechkin, are you going to the Honors weekend Friday/Saturday?</p>

<p>does anyone know when the RD Honors decisoins are coming out?</p>

<p>@waterboy151, I was an RD honors applicant. I was notified a while back. If you havn’t received notificiation, I would call tech and ask them about it.</p>

<p>From the VT Website:</p>

<p>"Notifications of acceptance to Honors are being rolled out throughout the Spring.</p>

<p>I.e., Don’t call. You should receive your decision sometime soon.</p>
