Has any one heard of someone getting an interview without getting in? It doesn't seem like that happens often, if ever. What, then, would be the point of the interview?

Did anyone else admitted get mail from UVA besides the admission package/admit letter? I am super curious now and I don't want to wait until I get home. Cheers

I got a letter about a week after my acceptance packet telling me about the process for applying for financial aid. I got my hopes up when I saw it because I thought they wanted to give me money.

Didn't you visit the school? Based on last year's thread, they sent unsolicited checks in the mail to people who visited, so that may be the second letter - you didn't need to submit your expenses or anything.

Last cycle, my family and I stopped in Charlottesville for dinner on our way to North Carolina. I didn't contact admissions or even really plan to visit UVA, but my dad wanted to see the law school so we stopped by and looked at the outside (didn't even go into the building). On our way back to the car, I saw Grace Cleveland and said hi and chatted for maybe 30 seconds because she was on her way home. Went to NC. Received a check in the mail a few weeks later. So that was pretty much unsolicited

This was the story I had in mind when I mentioned unsolicited checks!

Did you end up at UVA?

Have an interview with Cordel this afternoon! Any especial last-minute advice? Hope it's largely the same general questions as last year!

There is no campus, only grounds.
But http://www.budgetinncharlottesville.com is pretty close.

You can go on Priceline name your price and get the DoubleTree on 29 for like $50/60 per night. It's a bit run down but the beds are comfy and you get a warm cookie.

Anybody here thinking about applying to the Range? Warm fireplaces, good times, and outdoor bathrooms...what more could you want?
