Powderpuff,
Thanks for offering your advice on the OP’s dilemma. FWIW, I’m also guessing Dean J will inform us a little later this week that Notification Letters will be mailed on Friday, March 28th, with decisions being available on-line at 6:30 pm Friday evening. I suspect UVa is hoping to be able to get the decisions out on Friday so applicants will have the weekend to digest their results.

Regardless of whether D-Day is Friday or another day (the most likely second option would surely be Monday the 31st), one thing is certain: the weeks of waiting are almost over for UVa’s applicants for the Fall of 2008 incoming class. Soon most will know their fate, and they will be able to turn the page and move forward with the next chapter of their academic life.

I remember how tense my son was this time last year; and then how thrilled and relieved he felt when he at long last read the two words he had hoped and prayed to see on his UVa Status Page: Offered Admission. It was probably the happiest day of his young life; I had never seen him as excited as he was the moment he learned of his acceptance to the University. I imagine you, and many, many others in his class felt much the same way when you finally received the good news.

Best wishes to all of you who hope to spend your next four years at the University of Virginia!
