thanks Dean J. These were post application felt very encouraging in tone. Almost like bypassing the fact that the applicant was not accepted yet. They seemed to be the type of message that would be much more fitting to be sent to someone who had been accepted (post decision - “choose UVa”) - not just to any applicant. I don’t need UVa to be solicitous to me and my child after they have already applied - but not yet admitted. It seems cruel to act like (in the tone of these emails) that UVa “wants him/her” - if in fact it’s just a form letter to an applicant.
thanks for listening. thanks for your considerable work - and outreach. wahoowah.
