Peabody is the building, Jack is the dog, and I'm Dean J (she/her, btw).

The search box works well, but any post with a date prior to 2025 should be considered archived information. The college admission process changes every year!

Welcome to the blog and thanks for reading!

Overlap Season Begins

The overlap season is when we are working with several different groups of students, all with different needs. I didn't remember that it was overlap time until yesterday, when I was the "on call" dean. Most of the phone calls I took were from transfer students. Their application deadline is March 1st. The walk-ins were mostly students who were admitted during Early Action. A snow storm gave lots of students a couple days off, so some apparently decided to take a ride to Charlottesville, which wasn't impacted too heavily. A few juniors were in the office, just starting the tour circuit. Remember those days, seniors?

After a day of meeting with visitors, I decided to catch up on my reading in the wee hours.


That was a bad idea because this was me as I was thinking about the super awesome blog post I should write for you all today:


 So...let's just make this an open thread. If you want to ask questions, go for it. If you just want to share something, that's fine, too.
