Thanks WahooA - yes - likely just a blanket but somewhat targeted recruiting email.
I guess I was thinking it might indicate something because it was different from other recruiting emails/letters/post cards my child (or I) received. these emails came starting a few weeks after receipt of the EA application to our parent email that is not available otherwise for schools to contact. The language was very leading - and I would say shame on UVa if it was just a broadcast “marketing email” that every prospective/applicant got - because obviously thousands will not be admitted who applied - which could include my kid.
i guess it could have gone to all who applied and signed up for a SIS account maybe? that’s why i was asking if other EA applicants/parents this past November go similarly worded emails to get a sense of whether it did indicate anything like a “likely letter”.
thanks again. good luck to all.
