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!

An Early Action Update!

 If you've been watching our live q&a sessions on instagram, you've heard me say we're close...

Early Action notification will be 
Friday, January 31, 2025 
This is official. Please do not call our office to confirm it. 


Where are the decisions posted? 

You will see a place to view your decision when you log into your MyUVA applicant portal. You received login information for the portal back when you applied. Decisions are not sent by email, but the systems sends an email when you have an unseen status update (there's a lag, so if you view your decision quickly, the email won't go out).

What time will decisions show up? 

The decisions will get posted all at once to portals around 5 PM. There's a technical team runs several processes to get the portals updated and I can't predict the exact time that they'll finish their work. 

Why is the portal changing? Is it a sign of my decision? 

The portal will look a little different as the technical team prepares for the release. The changes are not tied to your decision. 

 As always, I'll have a post with admission statistics before decisions go up.
