New status message

I decided to update the message on the status message to make it more clear and to use some HTML to make it look a little nicer.
Your application has been received and is being processed. At this time, we are data-entering thousands of credentials which have been mailed to us. If items are not listed as received, please do not call our office as they may have arrived, but not checked into our computer system. We will contact you if we are missing any documents crucial to the review of your application.


First-year applicants should log back in to submit mid-year or first trimester grades online as soon as they are available. Please check the admission blog at http://uvaapplication.blogspot.com periodically for updates about our process.


Thank you for applying online to the University of Virginia!
