<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I got my acceptance letter in the mail yesterday for the engineering school. One sentence of the letter said said my admission to the university does not guarantee acceptance to the major. Does this mean I was basically rejected? Or does everyone get the same message?
Thanks</p>
<p>its means that even though you got into UVA, you may not be in the school for engineering. instead you may be placed in the college of arts and sciences for somewhere else</p>
<p>Never mind. I reread the letter and it said "while admission to engineering does not guarantee admission to a particular major-that process is determined by a student's performance in engineering courses and the spaces in various major programs-....." I ignored the underlined part. So I guess the they are talking about the weed out year.</p>
<p>yea you will declare your major in march of your first year. Space is limited in some of the departments so some go through an application process while others literally take the top xx GPA's of those that wanted to join the program.</p>
<p>The E-school is expanding rapidly now so I'd expect the process to become more rigid than it is now. Generally any student in the e-school will be accepted into the department of their choice (BME is the exception)</p>
<p>Hi^__^ I just found that there is a handwritten comment on the bottom of my admission letter. The words are too crabbed for me to pick out though, since I'm an international student.
Does everyone admitted has their own comment on their admisson letters?</p>
<p>I've also recieved an admission letter with the handwritten comment.
And I'm also an international student. However, i do not think international status has anything to do with the comment.</p>
<p>My comment was sayting that they hope i would join Rodman program, and I got my rodman acceptance few days ago via e-mail.</p>
<p>According to few comments on uvaapplication.blogspot.com, it seems other people also recieved the letter with such comment.</p>
<p>You're in to the e-school. It's just certain majors like BmE, CpE, SystemsE, and I think one other that have caps that you're no guaranteed into. But, most of the students who apply get into the programs as long as they have a decent GPA/resume at the end of first semester. I know they're trying to expand SystemsE, and CpE never reaches its cap.</p>
