[/ul]General Comments: Invited to interview for an Honors scholarship this weekend… wish me luck</p>

<p>I DID apply for RD, I found out about my acceptance a few weeks ago from a letter. Apparently they sent out a fraction of acceptances early for some reason. I’ve got a hard decision ahead of me.</p>

<p>abbeyxflabby–rejected from UVA? I attend a magnet (governor’s) school and I have a lower SAT/ACT, and I received a likely from UVA for RD. How is your overall course load? From your response I assumed you are not math/science oriented. Also, the VT decisions for those eligible for honors were released. I’m still waiting for the honors decisions to come out, but I wasn’t invited to interview for any scholarships. Best of luck.</p>

<p>Fermat25 - my overall course load is strong - nothing lower than honors classes, 4 years of a 2nd language and 3 years of a third language. Total 4 AP / 3 DE with VCU. I was disappointed about my rejection from UVA and slightly surprised that I wasn’t at least deferred, but with the huge amount of applications they received this year I can imagine they had to make some quick decisions.</p>
