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

There are years of posts here. The search box works well, but please consider the age of the posts when you find them. The college admission process changes every year!

References to emailing updates to your application are from the years when we didn't have the current applicant portal. Please follow the instructions in your portal to submit all updates.

Welcome to the blog and thanks for reading!

#UVA Regular Decision Update

 I know why you clicked, so here it is:

Regular Decision results will be posted
Friday, March 17, 2023
This is official. No need to call to confirm!

What time will decisions show up?

The decisions get posted all at once in around 5 PM. There's a technical team that runs through several processes to prepare for the release and load the decisions. I can't predict the exact moment when they will finish their work.

Where are the decisions posted?

You will see a place to review an update in your UVA Applicant Portal. Remember that your applicant portal is different from SIS, which is used for the financial aid process. You received login credentials for the portal back when you applied. 

Decisions are not sent by email, but we will send an email once we are certain decisions have been loaded. Decisions are not given out by phone. 

Are there early signs of my decision anywhere?

The portal will look different leading up to the decision release as the technical team does their work. These changes are not tied to your decision. 

As always, I'll share admission statistics here in the coming days and I'll be posting on Twitter, Instagram, and Tiktok as well.
