<p>So I have been waiting for a financial/acceptance packet for a long time now since I was notified of my acceptance online. I did receive an acceptance "pack" with an invitation to DOTL but is that all? All of my other colleges have sent me giant folders filled with financial loan/scholarship information as well as booklets about the school.</p>
<p>If you could, what did your acceptance packet look like and what was in it?</p>
<p>UVa mails almost nothing. Everything is done by email or SIS. Only a few things are emailed to parents. That is why it is critically important for a student to keep their parents informed about emails from the school and financial aid “to do lists” and other items on SIS.</p>
<p>They mail out a small acceptance packet to those who were accepted (at least that is how it was 2 years ago). I don’t believe they sent out letters if you were not accepted or if you were waitlisted. In any case, the decision letter for everyone is on the SIS.</p>
<p>The aid office is paperless. Admission is <em>almost</em> paperless. Everything related to a student’s account, now an throughout their time here, is in SIS. </p>
