<p>It’s pretty easy. The only thing I haven’t figured out is background color.
It’s not straight HTML. It’s a little different. are tags, they are the “signals to the code”. Each code should be like this: **. Beware, there should be no space like this: [ b], bc the code will not work. So first get rid of all spaces. ** is start ** is the closing of a code
**=bold
[list]=list
[color=black]font color is black
[size=+1]= font size is +1 normal size
[*] must be some kind of list bullets that stats it on another line.</p>

<p>General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc: I love UVA!! It’s a great school! McIntire’s awesome! If all goes well with the financial aid award I’m definitely going. I was a bit miffed about not getting into Penn, but after a while it felt okay 'cause I always told myself if I did get in there, I’d still go to UVA. Now I don’t have to choose. I’m a bit nervous though about my financial aid…but hopefully, it’ll work through.</p>

<p>General Comments: Congrats! For the waitlistees, keep your head up! Now the hard part is deciding.</p>
<p>BTW, I was too lazy to go and type in my stats all over again (after all there is stats profile), so i copied a slightly different template for posting my stats.</p>
<p>No rejections?</p>
<p>They were probably too distraught to post, I know I’d be.</p>
<p>Other colleges’ acceptance thread goes on forever and we only have two pages.</p>

Why you think you were accepted/deferred/denied: frankly, i’m amazed (and honored), due to the hype about tough competition among the OOSersOther Factors:
General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc:</p>
<p>Maybe the fact that this acceptance thread isn’t going on forever is that a larger percentage of seemingly qualified CCers got waitlisted at UVA and we/they are all still shocked and disgruntled.</p>
<p>ARGH!! Haven’t got anything from UVA yet—no letter, no e-mail…nothing! </p>
<p>I live in NJ btw.</p>
<p>REJECTED, NOT WAITLISTED.</p>
<p>Ah well.</p>
<p>Surprised though:</p>
<p>3 4’s on AP Euro, AP Govt. and Politics, AP French Lang</p>
<p>SAT I: 780 V 750 M 730 W
SAT II: Math Lvl 1 730, U.S. Hist. 690</p>
<p>Taking 4 more APs this year</p>
<p>EDIT: Now, looking at who got accepted–seriously, how the hell did I get rejected???
BTW, I’m from NJ, so that might’ve hurt me. </p>
<p>300+ community service hours, National Merit Commended, AP Scholar</p>
<p>–I was at least expecting waitlist.</p>
<p>Granddaughter was rejected. Not certain her stats. She is instate and legacy. Trying to be happy, settling for VT.</p>
<p>D was accepted - OOS legacy (MA). Now deciding UVA, Duke, GT.</p>
<p>fusiondogg, wow, with those stats you didn’t get in? Where did you get accepted?</p>
<p>fusiondogg…you didn’t mention your GPA/ Class rank</p>
<p>Top 15% of my class GPA-wise at Millburn High School, once rated the 2nd best public high school in the country by Washington Post Education Reporter Jay Greene. </p>
<p>My school is still often rated the best public high school in NJ.</p>
<p>Edit: I got into Carnegie Mellon, NYU ($7500 per year scholarship), Lehigh ($10,000 per year scholarship + Eckhardt Scholars Prog.), University of Michigan-Ann Arbor Honors Program, Fordham ($22,000 per year), Colgate, Boston College, and Rutgers ($5000 per year scholarship).</p>
<p>BTW, just to reiterate: REJECTED. NOT WAITLISTED.</p>
<p>Sorry for the crude language, but seriously, ***?</p>
