And this article:
The University’s early action plan deadline was Nov. 1, and applicants will hear back about the status of their applications by the end of January. https://www.cavalierdaily.com/article/2019/11/u-va-receives-largest-early-action-applicant-pool-in-its-history-for-the-class-of-2024 |

That is superseded by everything Dean J has posted recently and by the UVA admissions website. |

That is the alumni site. Go to the actual university admissions website. It says mid-Feb. They may release earlier but they are not holding themselves to Jan 31. |

Okay so that was put out well before they knew how many apps they would get. I'm sure they would love to give EA applicants a decision as soon as possible and move onto RD applicants, but they are still reading the files. There were 25000 EA applicants (though that number may go down if some were not fully completed). There are 3750 spots. They have to go through these apps with a fine toothed comb to select who will get in. Let them take their time and they will announce when they are ready. I would not be surprised if it goes past Feb 15. |

or so you'd like to think; more likely, behind your back, those IVY parents were turning their nose up at your UVA education on a budget, they never buy things on sale, mind you; I'm kidding, kind of, but some are like these, especially at cocktail parties (are these mainly for bragging about the kids?) I learnt something from my genZie: "stop trying to compare me with others, I don't care what some else does, I don't ask them where they apply or their grades and scores"; they really don't care and I admire them for it, our species has to evolve, we shouldn't mold our kids into genXies with throphy wifes and castle-houses and what not |

And like Washington, she says nothing other than we are working on it and hope to have more information soon. |

I posted earlier and am sticking by my earlier prediction of release next week on Friday, February 7. I appreciate that they don't want to announce a release date (even if they have a really good idea of it) until they are absolutely sure they can deliver on that date. It would be horrible to announce a date, and then have to walk it back. |

| Didn’t they already do that? It used to say Jan end and then they said mid Feb. |

"Horrible"? Wouldn't be horrible at all to have to move an admissions notification date. Who is actually harmed by such a move? Cancer is horrible. Fatal helicopter crashes are horrible. This wouldn't even be close to horrible. |

That link for them Alumni thing is really, really old. They've been saying Feb 15 since the summer on the Admissions page, and in any other communications from the Admissions office. It's nice treat if they get it done early (and traditionally they do, and they were able to be early for ED this cycle) but if they stick to a Feb 15 release, I'd say they are holding to what they said. |

Valid point, but you know that people act like this is life and death, that they are owed entry and they've been wronged/robbed/yield protected if they don't get what they want. |

I love it when word police on DCUM forbid anyone from using negative language or complaining because "what about WAR, FAMINE, DISEASE, DEATH?!?!" Can we please take it as read that we are all reasonable people that do have a sense of proportion, but also are fortunate enough to live in circumstances in which we do not encounter the worst that life can dish out, so instead have the luxury to complain about relatively minor things on a forum that you don't have to visit if you think everyone is being to shallow? One of my favorite children's books is "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" but I guess quoted PP would feel that book is "wrong" because it teaches children to use the word "horrible" when he has to wear his railroad train pajamas. Anyway... I didn't say it would be horrible to push the date back. I said it would be horrible to announce a date prematurely. It's likely that the Admissions Office is 99% sure what date they think they can release, and based on their track record, that date is earlier than the mid-February date. I'm saying that I recognize that it is prudent for them to hold off on having Dean J post that earlier-than-Feb 15-date until they are 100% confident they can release on that date. Because if she was to post today "we are releasing tomorrow!" and then 24 hours later had to says "whoops, sorry my bad." then that is a communications fail. |

And now it's official, so turns out OP was good at reading those tea leaves!
