Friday afternoon the University of Virginia will send notices to students who applied to be accepted during the school’s early decision admission cycle.
Loyal readers of Notes from Peabody, Senior Associate Dean of Admission Jeannine Lalonde’s blog, may have seen her latest post about it.
Here is what to expect, she wrote:
“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.
“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.”
The reactions from some members of the Class of 2028 were electric.
