sja, search Dean J's blog ( Notes from Peabody: The UVA Application Process ) and search the main UVa forum for "likely letter". We talked about this a LOT last year and I remember Dean J was thoroughly sick of answering questions about likely letters. I got one around late Feb/early March.
Here's something about them from Dean J's blog:
Quote:
1. A small number of likely letters are sent each year. There is no set number of letter sent.
2. The letters are sent in waves, not at once.
3. Do not read into the absence of a letter. The vast majority of admitted students never receive one. It is best to assume you will not get one.
4. There is no relationship between likely letters and Echols/Rodman/College Science Scholars.
5. The letter means exactly what it says, no more, no less.
6. International students can get one of these letters.
