UVA Early Action Applicants Thread

.

Via USPS mail

I got Rodmans!!! @Sciencegirlfromthewest I got a letter in the mail. Also I’m from Virginia only like 2 hours away from Charlottesville so that’s probably why I got it so quick.

@habitualnerd ^^ and I figured out from classmates

congrats!!!

Echols!

(I got in)

Got in Echols! I am so surprised.

where is everyone from? could letters not have reached california yet?

Virginia

Anyone get Echols notification out of state yet??

I am OOS, from CT

Does anyone know how many Echols scholars they pick? Also, congrats to everyone who got letters!

@thesoutherngirl The letter says it’s roughly 5% of the incoming class, so that would be about (if the class size of UVA is about 4,000?) 200 students.

Yes, but they have to account for “yield.” They know historically what percentage of students accept their offer.

Echols probably has a higher yield, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they only pick 350ish

Anyone have any thoughts/feedback on the College Science Scholars program at UVA?

For those of you who received Echols, was it in a package or a letter envelope?
