There are so many questions in the Likely Letter comments that I thought I'd post some responses as a new entry.
Danielle, if the college course you took doesn't appear on your high school transcript, fax the college transcript to 434-924-7674. You don't need a cover page, just circle your name and date of birth on the transcript.
Grateful, thanks for your comment. I hope everyone remembers to use the search box at the top of the blog to find answers to their questions!
XXL, because grading scales vary dramatically from school to school, I can't really be specific about what mid-year grades will affect your application negatively.
Anonymous, there is no rule about spacing admission essays. I personally prefer single spaced essays.
Anonymous and NorthEndWahoo, it's a simple question of weight ratios. Did one of you write an essay about a favorite word being "ni"?
UVa Hopeful, since we have only sent out one batch of Likely Letters, I don't know if the number generated has increased. We we won't know that for a few weeks. I can't generate that stat easily because we are using a different computer system than in years past.
The Virginia Society has started to call students who might be considered for the Echols Scholars Program. They are not calling Rodman or College Science Scholars candidates.
Jesse, our system uses your official ETS score report to pull the highest scores from each section of the SAT. Don't worry about self-reported SAT scores.
Anonymous, we don't read by region. The letters were not sent by region.
Anonymous, see the update I posted to the original entry.
Anonymous, sounds like ETS hasn't sent those scores or they didn't match up exactly to your application. No worries...that will work itself out in time and we'll use the scores on your transcript. Don't worry about that item on your to do list.
Please pick an alias instead of using the anonymous button. As you can see, it's hard to direct replies when half the questions coming from "Anonymous". Hit the "Name/URL" button and fill in a name...it doesn't have to be real.
