I didn’t see a thread for RD so I started one.
Hello! I saw on the UVA Instagram that decisions might come out late January as opposed to early February. Hopefully it’s valid!!
@PurpleFrog When/where did you see an Instagram post about early action release date?
I said during my instagram live last night that we always hope to release early. No one wants to be that school that made students wait until the last possible moment.
That being said, we won’t take shortcuts with reading applications to be early.
@“Dean J” I saw on the UVA website that mid year reports are needed? What happens if decisions are released early and the mid year reports can’t get to UVA?
@PurpleFrog Did you mean April 1? Because that’s when Regular Decision is released.
@rickqwert That was for Early Action, not Regular Decision. I probably should have clarified - and I realize now this may have been the wrong thread to post that in. Most of the talk about UVA dates at that point in time was about Early Action. Now, we can switch our focus to Regular Decision, which they have yet to give many updates about…
My son wait for regular decision too.
hi! does anyone have a sense of when decisions might come out? of course we can expect them by or around April 1st like with every school, but I’ve noticed that for some schools, people have a sense of 'they always release on thursdays" or “it’s usually the second week of march.” anyone know anything about years past (though of course, with the use of EA and ED this year things could change). really looking forward to hearing back!
They typically release on Friday evenings. We can probably expect decisions on March 27, if not earlier.
You can see every decision date since 2007 if you look at posts from March on the blog: http://uvaapplication.blogspot.com/
March 22nd since 2017
One thing that I’ve noticed is that UVA has a very unproblematic admissions process. They do a good job of trying to release decisions early and announce any information they can to ease stress, and the admissions team is highly involved with applicants in answering questions.
I am definitely considering attending UVA next fall and I hope you all will be in that position soon, too. Best of luck everyone!
Any hope for decision release Friday March 20th?
@emt2002 Here’s hoping!
I highly doubt it. Considering the Early Decision reintroduction and the sheer amount of deferrals, paired with the current pandemic, I’m thinking the RD notifications will come on the 27th. UVA typically releases on Friday, as it is the end of the week and students can process their decisions over the weekend before they return to school. With the school closings, I’m wondering if they might release mid-week next week as opposed to Friday, because the majority of the schools in the country are closed.
One reason some schools release on Fridays is that those not accepted have 2 1/2 days to get over it before they can call Admissions. Cooling off period…
If you applied RD to UVA, you can check your portal tonight for your decision.
I’ll post some statistics [on my admission blog](http://uvaapplication.blogspot.com/) in a few hours to provide some context.
Good luck, everyone!
Thank you @“Dean J” for all of your help! Crossing my fingers for tonight!
Agreed - so appreciate the communication and transparency in this very stressful process. Thank you!
