Dean J is a saint. Every day though her blog, Notes from Peabody II, she strives to accomplish the impossible: provide succor to multitudes who seek salvation at the UVa Office of Admissions. She gives comfort to the comfortless, clues to the clueless, humor to the humorless. Throughout her ordeal she remains a rock of even temper and good humor. All that, plus, the comments on her posts provide some of the best entertainment available anywhere.

She’s giving everything she can! Hats off to Dean J! May all her admissions matriculate!
