<p>I'm writing a waitlist follow-up letter to UVA. Should I mention that I have received a Scholar Award from William and Mary but I still want to go to UVA? Will this turn the admission committee off or make them take a second look at my application?</p>
<p>why even mention It?????
My opinion, Just write the letter and mention that the school is still your # 1 choice and how you have improved since then. Also, I would contact the admission committee and ask approximately what percentage of the waitlisted students they believe will be admitted. I say this because I did the whole letter and update thing for UF only to find out that all the spots for the freshmen class had already been filled and that no one would be pulled from the waitlist at all.</p>
