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!

An Early Decision Update

 

Early Decision notification will be 
Friday, December 12, 2025 
This is official. Please do not call our office to confirm it. 

What time will decisions show up?

The decisions get posted all at once 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 MyUVA Applicant Portal. You received login credentials for the portal back when you applied. Remember that your applicant portal is different from SIS, which is used for the financial aid process. 

Decisions are not given out by email or phone. Shortly after the decisions are posted in portals, the system emails students if their update hasn't been seen. 

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.


Are scholar notifications coming?
The first round of review for Echols, Rodman, and College Science Scholars will be completed after the Early Action process in February. A second round will occur in March and decisions will go up after the Regular Decision process is completed. Early Decision students are included in those reviews. 


When will statistics be ready?
As soon as I am given some data to share, I will post it here.
