When in doubt, I always check the OED (Good thing universities have subscriptions to it!)

To Curious: Yes, I'm male.

To Kitty: I don't know about that! Still a borderline candidate for YHS, so I'll err on the side of pessimism.

I'm another splitter just admitted RD with no money, so those decisions have definitely started.

Email was sent Friday and I found it Saturday afternoon in my spam folder. Gmail fail.

did you guys write a why uva and did you check yes for financial aid? same boat here i think thats why i haven't heard (my numbers are not bad)

Don't know what your numbers are since they aren't in your profile, but fwiw, the people that have gotten in RD so far are not likely to matriculate at UVA if you get what I mean. Almost all have HYS or CCN numbers, and have been offered substantial scholarships to attend UVA.

My point is that if UVA is a target for your numbers or maybe even a slight safety, don't sweat it. I don't think they've gotten around to those decisions yet and don't seem to have admitted any RD splitters either. Its been all people above both medians from what I can tell (or heck of a close to).

It's really strange. There were a few people early on above medians who got big schollys but since then they've been admitting random splitters and also people who are above medians with no seeming rhyme or reason... very odd..
