<p>housie, what time was the email sent?</p>
<p>...maaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn</p>
<p>first i thought likely=Echols/Rodman, then I though phone call=echols/rodman, and now i am confused....</p>
<p><em>edit</em>
Man, it just seems wrong that they would call me and not send me an invite to Rodman... its just counterintuitive... or mean. I was so excited after that phonecall. wow</p>

<p>I was hopeing for something a little more specific like around 8:00, in which case I might still have hope, or arround 6:00, where I might as well just give up</p>
<p>ehiunno</p>
<p>The email includes a congratelation letter and an invitation to join Scholars Day on the Lawn on April 16.</p>
<p>Sorry, It's 21:02 whcih may be the unupdated summer time.</p>
<p>Dean J,</p>
<p>An engineering faculty member told me that the new mid-year Rodman class announced a few months ago was almost, if not all, 100% female. That person said that it appeared that Rodman was being used as a tool to keep women from switching to other majors. What is the composition of the fall 2007 potential class?</p>
<p>The "mid-year Rodman class"? Do you mean students invited into Rodman after the first year? As far as I know, new Rodman students aren't taken at mid-year.</p>
<p>Anyway, gender didn't come into play when we selected Rodman Scholars.</p>
<p>They are. You can apply for Rodman after the first semester. See <a href="http://www.seas.virginia.edu/rodman/Mid-Year_Applicants.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.seas.virginia.edu/rodman/Mid-Year_Applicants.htm</a></p>
<p>I had the impression that the mid-years are selected by the SEAS admin. Are there perhaps different committees, one for new students and one for mid-years?</p>
<p>Dean J,</p>
<p>I am kind of confused. I was under the impression that a call meant that you got Echols or Rodman, did I misread your posts?</p>

[/QUOTE]
The Office of Admission selects Rodman Scholars, then sends the names on to SEAS. The program from that point is run entirely by SEAS.</p>
<p>Ehuinno, there are multiple students groups that make calls at this time of year. A few weeks ago, it was Echols students, but Rodman and The</a> Virginia Society also makes calls to answer questions for prospective students. The students should identify themselves when they call.</p>
<p>Dean J,</p>
<p>The person that called identified herself as a Rodman scholar but said that she didn't know the official results.</p>
<p>Yes, the emails have been sent. If you did not get one, I would encourage you to make sure to do well your first semester and apply through our Mid-Year App. All first year E-School students will receive an email when the app becomes available.</p>
<p>Wow, gave up hope, then I got the Rodman e-mail this morning!! I am pumped, I can relay more later, gotta go celebrate now!!</p>
<p>come on footballl, I thought we were in this together! lol</p>
<p>I've still gotten jack squat, but I guess that means theres still a shot</p>
<p>Hey Everyone - I just came across this site and it reminded me of last year; all of the college stress and things of the sort that make senior year pretty tough.</p>
<p>Anyways. To my point.</p>
<p>Even if you don't get into the Rodman program now, there is an application for midyear students. I didn't know about the Rodman program until after I got accepted. I applied during the mid-year application, and honestly, if I can get in, there is no reason none of you guys can't.</p>
<p>So good luck with your college acceptances and honestly, don't stress. Things will work out if you let them work out.</p>
<p>still nothing... a friend in my lin alg class got the letter, so it looks like all hope is lost...</p>
<p>wow</p>
