UVa - Confirmation Through Echols?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Virginia

<p>I just got an e-mail regarding the Echols Scholars Program. The first two lines of it read as follows:</p>

<p>"Honored and Impressed. This is how we felt while evaluating your application for admission. We write first of all to congratulate you on your acceptance to the University of Virginia."</p>

<p>Seeing as I have not yet been accepted (to my knowledge), was this sent out in advance by mistake?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>They've started sending out Echols notifications today. This comes from an Echols student I know.</p>

3

<p>I got the same email. It means we got in!</p>

<p>UVA always sends out its acceptance notifications to Echols scholars and recipients of other designations early.</p>

4

<p>YES!!! We're in..... =]</p>

5

<p>Got the email too.
Woooo :)</p>

6

<p>I'm on top of the world right now!!</p>

7

<p>I'm slightly confused as to what exactly the Echols Scholar program is... is there an associated scholarship?</p>

8

<p>Congratulations, everyone!</p>

9

<p>congrats, everybody! I've really been hoping for the Echols, but I didn't get the email today...is there any chance that more notifications will be sent out later on? Or was today it?</p>

<p>I got a call from the echols program in february saying I was a very strong candidate, and a likely letter two weeks ago. Naturally I'm lacking an email. fantastic.</p>

11

<p>The emails are going out over a period of time, not all at once.</p>

12

<p>^yay! there's still hope...</p>

14

<p>WHOO HOOO! The e-mail came as such a surprise and made my day :)</p>

15

<p>I got one! So exciting</p>

<p>I'm not sure what the Echols Program is though. I read the description from the email, but I'd like to know more about the experience at Echols and how it's different from being at UVA w/o Echols. Anyone know?</p>

16

<p>I also got the e-mail today :)
Congrats everyone!</p>

17

<p>I NEED TO KNOW WHETHER THEY'RE DONE EMAILING OR NOT!! i'm dying here... :(</p>

18

<p>did everyone who received an email also receive a phone call a couple of months ago?</p>

19

<p>Does anyone know if they are doing the same thing for Rodman Scholars - those who applied to Engineering?</p>
