<p>Does UVA send out likely letters?</p>
<p>not now? i guess? it’s just late January.</p>
<p>Yes, but not for a few more weeks.</p>
<p>what exactly is a likely letter and what does it say?</p>
<p>Likely letters are sent to top applicants to keep their attention during the late winter. They usually praise the applicant and stop just short of telling him that he’s been accepted.</p>
