I received the following e-mail from UNCG this morning, and I am wondering if anyone else got a similar one. Not quite sure what to make of it. Don't want to get my hopes up.
Dear (my first name),
Just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know that your writing sample is with the committee here at UNCG and getting some good preliminary readings. The process here is a slow one as the members of the admission committee read all of the samples, meet, and discuss the full application file.
We generally begin making admissions decisions in mid-March and continue through the Council of Graduate Schools, April 15th deadline for schools and applicants to make decisions.
If you have any questions in the meantime, please free to email me or give Jim Clark, the director of our program, a call. His number is 336-334-5459.
Best,
Terry

I am not on the FB draft page, so I don't know if anyone there has received this message. Do you think they sent this to everyone or should I take some encouragement from this?
