ALL Things UVA Admissions With University of Virginia’s (UVA) Associate Dean of Admissions Jeannine Lalonde (UVA Dean J)- UVA Test-Optional 2022 and Full Walk Through of Essays and UVA Supplemental Essays 2022 (Video)

Hey Everyone,

Happy Admissions Season! Last year a lot of my students ended up applying, being accepted and enrolled at University of Virginia (UVA). One of my FAVORITE admissions officers is UVA’s Dean Jeannine Lalonde aka UVA Dean J (follow her on all socials- she has a weekly Q&A).

I was lucky enough to sit down and interview her. I wanted to ask her about Test-Optional at University of Virginia (UVA)- she had some great things to say about that and whether you are “disadvantaged” for applying optional.

I also figured while I had her I would have her tell students what she is looking for and how to interpret the Essays as well as the UVA Supplemental Essays. I have always wanted to know what they are looking for when they say what is your Quirk or what message should be painted on the Beta bridge. I was so happy when Dean J agreed to just walk me through all of the UVA Supplemental Essays for 2022.

There are 3 videos you can watch which will walk you through the entire UVA application and discuss how to be successful in the UVA application
