<p>I live in Southeastern VA. Would I hear back on Thursday??? Ahh… I’m so anxious!!</p>
<p>kkay,</p>
<p>You’ll probably hear tomorrow!!! At least I hope so now that I’ve said that lol. 
mail is sooo fast and I’ve gotten a lot of college letters next day.</p>
<p>Good luck! And if not tomorrow, almost positively Friday.</p>
<p>What about Florida</p>
<p>Denied. Daughter just received the bad news in the mail here in Northern Virginia. Not completely surprising given that two of the top 10 students in our very (2,400), large highly ranked HS had already been accepted into an honors/scholars program at UR.</p>
<p>accepted…not going…cant wait for the UVa decision tomorrow</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I hope you won’t mind us beating you in football the first game of the season…</p>
<p>Can anyone describe the accept and deny envelopes?
Thanks.</p>
<p>I was given innaccurate information. My D was waitlisted, not denied. However, with the letter citing 8,000 plus applications for 800 spots, I’m not expecting success from the waitlist. D’s good friend with even better stats also was waitlisted.</p>
<p>Waitlist letter is small envelope (no surprise about that).</p>
<p>Oakton, what were her and her friends stats?</p>
<p>Daughter stats:</p>
<p>ACT Composite: 30
GPA weighted 3.91
7 APs, 6 Honors courses
Excellent recommendations
Key Club President
Other good ECs</p>
<p>Daughter’s friend:</p>
<p>SAT: 2110?
GPA: Above 4.0 (weighted)
Don’t know other details</p>
<p>no-email for intl, are they even sending emails out?</p>
<p>nothing yet in new jersey i fully expect it tomorrow though. good luck everyone!</p>
<p>for those of you who were accepted, what did the envelope look like?</p>
<p>I live in VA and I just got my acceptance letter!!! It came in one of those Priority Mail Packages (Prepaid Flat Rate Mailing Envelope). It’s pretty hard to miss, it’s huge!</p>
<p>Congrats kayy923!!</p>
<p>I live in Northern Virginia and got my Priority Mail package today saying that I was accepted. I was <em>very</em> surprised that they said they had 8600 applications for 800 slots. That is about a 9.5% acceptance rate, which is a LOT lower than the Princeton Review and other ranking sites show for previous years. It seems like applications were up tremendously at ALL colleges in Virginia this year, which will really skew the acceptance rates.</p>
<p>They don’t accept only 1 for each slot they have available. If they did that, they’d never fill up the slots; most colleges, to my knowledge, accept around 3-4 times the number of slots they have, with another ~1x being wait listed, depending on the historic enrollment rate of the acceptances.</p>
<p>PAKS,
They have 800 slots but accept around 3,000 applicants.</p>
<p>Is financial aid included in the envelopes for accepted students?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
