Ripping off your template, hydralisks. Thanks mate.

20Legend:
You need to add a third category to your template: Waitlisted.
A significant number of UVa applicants will be in this group.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

[davhu1]

How about adding where else applied / accepted?

[jask925]

^^^Good Idea.

[dangermoose]

I got in! The echols email came this morning at around 10:30!!! This is so exciting! I'll post stats later. Off to celebrate!

Decision: Accepted, Echols


Stats:

• College/Major Applied To: Arts & Sciences
• Fee Waiver Used?: No
• SAT I (by section): 800CR / 800W / 750M Combined 2350
• SAT IIs: MathII 740 / Chem 740 / Bio-E 770
• GPA, Weighted and Unweighted: 3.96, 4.27
• Rank: 3/195 (funny story here, the salutatorian’s mom is on the school board and has overridden several teachers to get her daughter the highest rank possible)
• ACT: n/a
• APs (including this year's): none, poor rural school.
• IBs (including this year's: lol.
• Senior Yr Courseload: Governor’s School: DE Calc, DE Brit Lit, DE Bio, Physics, App. of Research. Regular School: DE Government, Adv. Topics in Bio. Local College: Fundamentals of Music Theory, Logic.
• Number of Apps from Your School: Probably 15 or so.
• Other stats (Awards, etc.): 2nd place Governor’s School District for the state Chemistry Olympiad. Nothing else even worth mentioning.

Subjective:

• ECs listed on app: Varsity and JV Soccer, Rec league soccer, Karate (1st Degree Black Belt), Latin Club, Scholastic Bowl Varsity Captain (1st Time All-Districts x2), Battle of the Brains, Piano, Guitar, Jazz + Concert + Marching Band (1st Chair Alto Sax), District Council of Youth Ministries (coordinates youth retreats, mission camps, etc.) (2-time Communications Chair [Vice President], Music Chair), Worship Team, Boy Scouts (Eagle Scout), and NHS.
• Job/Work Experience: none.
• Essays (subject and responses): For “Something that shocked me,” I wrote about why Joyce’s acclaimed masterpiece, Ulysses, is utter drivel pushed on the literary canon by ivory tower intellectuals. For “And issue of significance” I linked Plato’s Allegory of the Cave to modern "wage slaves." My free essay was about a personal revelation.
• Hook (TASP, RSI, Research, etc.): Nope.
• Where Else Applied/Accepted: W&M (Accepted, Monroe), Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, Chicago (Accepted), and Pomona.

Location/Person:

• State or Country: Virginia
• School Type, Average Stats of School (if available): Uhhh. Bad.
• Ethnicity: White. And 1/32 NA, but that counts for nothing.
• Gender: Male
• Income Bracket: ~100k
• Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): Probably none. If they looked closely they would have realized that my high school was in Brown v. Board of Education, and subsequently closed. It hasn’t recovered much.
• Strengths: High stats, good essays, a variety of ECs.
• Weaknesses: Went to a poor school in a poor area, so no APs, no internships at the White House, didn’t cure cancer, etc.
• Why you think you were accepted/wait listed/denied: App was pretty solid overall. Instate was just icing.

Other Factors:
General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations, etc: I’m excited! I recently spent a night at the Alderman (honors) dorms at UVa and the atmosphere was very cool. I’m ecstatic to have two great options between W&M and UVa. Only one month to decide…

*Received likely letter
*Echols Scholar

[brkr]

Decision: Accepted

out-of-state international...
SEAS

[cefaluro]

How do you guys know already?

[vc08]

^^They were either internationals, or were Echols/Jefferson scholars.

So basically only a small % knows right now. Most applicants, the vast majority, will find out tomorrow.

[holas999]

We will find out tomorrow? I'm out of state, and I got a likely letter... but nothing about "Echols Scholar" or anything...
Are they online tomorrow? Or what..

[vc08]

I'm the same way, I'm OOS with LL, but no Echols (wasn't expecting it anyway lol).

I guess it's possible you'll get an Echols email later today, but otherwise you will find out tomorrow @ 6pm (assuming you applied online, in which case you can check your online account.) Best of luck!
