<p>Has it happened? I was rejected by William and Mary today. UVA is still my dream school but now I have no hope left. :(</p>
<p>Anything is possible. I wish you the best. Good luck! Keep your head up!</p>
<p>It actually happens more often than you'd think. There's a sort of story floating around my school (in-state VA) that you'll be rejected by one and admitted by another--seemingly never both. There's obviously no correlation but it does bring some hope to some people out there!</p>
<p>Thank you both!!</p>
<p>CC demoted me to MEMBER!!!WTH!!!</p>
<p>Colleges don't use the same formula to accept students, you know. They don't do joint decisions. o-o</p>
<p>Yeah, don't fret! Every school is different. I know a guy who was accepted into Harvard, but was denied into Brown! I love W&M and UVA, and applied to both schools for Fall 09 as a transfer. Good luck to you.</p>
<p>I'm in the same boat DR... we can only hope!</p>
<p>Definitely possible. D had friend who was rejected (!) by WM but accepted at UVA.</p>
<p>My friend last year was rejected from W&M.</p>
<p>She goes to UVa now.</p>
<p>Thank you so much everyone! You have given me some much needed hope.</p>
<p>Don't worry!</p>
<p>...and good luck getting in to UVA! I hope you end up wherever is right for you!</p>
<p>Thanks a lot :)</p>
<p>..well now I'm going to be really scared if I get an acceptance to W&M
but I'll probably be happy if I get rejected XD lol so backwards :)</p>
<p>although mail to Hawaii is so dang slow it might not get here till afterwards -_-</p>
<p>The only school I actually care about is UVa though. all the others were just like...oh. those are the ones you're supposed to apply to if you apply to UVa. </p>
<p>ACCCK...9-10 days max to find out!!!</p>
<p>okay sorry for random jabbering post, just need to let off some of this panic D:</p>
<p>It happens around my area, also, that students can be admitted to one and not the other. One thing that does seem to be true is that males have a better statistical chance of acceptance to W&M. </p>
<p>S was accepted to both; he applied to both because of the uncertainty (although we knew he had a better chance at W&M because he's a male). </p>
<p>I know which one he favors, but we will visit both for the admitted students days. They both have advantages. They are both great schools!</p>
<p>rejected at W&M and accepted at UVirginia is normal and happens all the time. No need to worry.</p>
<p>ugh, I've heard people in my school say it was common for someone to get into one and not the other.<br>
I'm in at WM, but UVA is my top choice... </p>
<p>One thing about WM is that they tend to pick students who are a better overall fit, while, I believe, UVA mostly looks at accomplishments (both valid ways of admission).</p>
<p>William and Mary is a little more selective.</p>
<p>Our vali last year was rejected at WM, in and a likely at UVA.</p>
<p>Just checking that W&M and UVA make decisions independently of each other, right? I prefer UVA and would hate for admission to W&M jeopardise my chances at the latter and this talk of "people rarely get into both" is scaring me. (I'm paranoid by nature, not helped by late March/early April being so tantalisingly close...)</p>
