<p>Thank you for completing your application to the University of Virginia. We are so excited that we are one of your schools of choice. This time is one of anticipation and anxiousness as you wait to hear where your second home will be for the next four years, and I want to take the opportunity to assist you in the weeks ahead as you make final preparations for college. The University has become a national leader in retaining and graduating African American students who are satisfied with their university experience and academic excellence. To learn more about this experience, we have matched you to a current African American student who can answer your questions about academics, student life at U.Va, or just talk to you while you wait. This student can share valuable information that may help when it comes time for your college decision. Look out for an email with the subject: "Look Hoo's Talking" in the next few days. Also, please keep in mind important U.Va dates. Admission decisions are sent around April 1st. In order to receive your financial aid package and admission letter around the same time, you should have your materials submitted by March 15th. It is helpful to have your financial aid package as you and your family review the admission decision. To be reviewed, you must complete both the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at <a href="http://www.fafsa.ed.gov">http://www.fafsa.ed.gov</a> and the University Financial Aid Application (UFAA). See the Financial Aid website for instructions: <a href="http://www.virginia.edu/financialaid/enter09.php">http://www.virginia.edu/financialaid/enter09.php</a> or contact 434-982-6000 for questions. Please feel free to contact me as well if you have any questions or concerns about the admission process. Our website, <a href="http://www.virginia.edu/undergradadmission/outreach.html">http://www.virginia.edu/undergradadmission/outreach.html</a> is always helpful. Hang in there; April 1st will be here before you know it. Have a wonderful day and always my best to your family.</p>
