<p>My friend's child is a senior who loves W&M. It is definitely Senior's first choice. Senior wants to apply ED, but Senior's Mom is concerned about being locked in without first knowing details of financial aid. </p>
<p>Does anyone have the acceptance rates for ED v. RD so that this family can make a more informed decision? Any other info would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Senior is in-state. I don't know test scores or GPA.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>From what I saw on the common data set for 2005-2006, acceptance rates for ED was about 50%. There were about 1,000 applicants and about 500 were accepted.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info. I will pass it along.</p>
<p>What financial details? W&M instate is cheap - senior won't find a better deal anywhere else.</p>
<p>"W&M instate is cheap - senior won't find a better deal anywhere else."</p>
<p>Agreed.</p>
<p>you'd be hardpressed to find anything cheaper than instate tuition...there are others that are probably lower-i think UVa and WM are almost equivalent in price within $2000 or less, but any financial aid package would offset instate tuition differences</p>
<p>She should apply ED if it is her first choice! Wm and Mary gives only a few merit scholarships but offers the Monroe program for top candidates. She will be treated fairly on the basis of her EFC and it is a brilliant education for the instate price</p>
<p>doesn't the stats say that it is 50%for ED and ~30%for RD?</p>
<p>I wonder how many of those applying ED are out of state.</p>
