<p>Waitlisted in MD. Got it today.</p>
<p>Waitlisted in PA</p>
<p>Accepted in New York..Just opened it up</p>
<p>Rejected... booo :(</p>
<p>Nothing in mail in Maryland. The President, did you just get it in today's mail?</p>
<p>My friend got wait listed today, but I didn't get my letter. So, I called the admissions office directly and they said they sent letters out in segments, but she didn't say if they did it alphabetically or by rejected, wait listed, and accepted. She also told me that the last group of envelopes was sent out yesterday. Hope that helps.</p>
<p>From Fl And No Mail Yet. It's Driving Me Crazy.</p>
<p>tn and rejected. very down about this.</p>
<p>wait-listed in new jersey.
trying to focus on acceptance to tufts and full scholarship to urichmond.</p>
<p>hey vatown, i feel for ya. i've seen how much you've wanted to attend W&M, and I can only guess at the deep disillusionment you're going through. I hope you were admitted to at least one other college.</p>
<p>I agree vatown, do not be down. Things are so inflated, it is ridiculous. </p>
<p>Boston University told me that their standards have gone up EXPONENTIALLY over the last two years. Like two years ago you needed less than 1350 on the Math and Verbal to get into Honors and now you need 1460 to get into Honors. It's just the market, so many more applicants than places. So many kids with high scores, with prep courses. Because William and Mary is like having your cake and eating it too--eg. a top tier school at a low price and one of the very very few that is medium sized (most are huge or tiny), you have lots and lots of kids who are getting into Harvard, Yale, etc. and choosing w and m because it is better sized and cheaper. </p>
<p>William and Mary knows this and they can practically fill their classes with valedictorians. A few years ago this was not the case. So, do not be down. What the inflation means is that highly ranked schools are becoming top tier and medium ranked schools are becoming regarded as highly ranked. It is trickle up and everyone knows it</p>
<p>Happy cappy:</p>
<p>Did you ask how they were bunching them? Thanks for calling. From the responses--first day all acceptances, second day some wait list and some rejects, it sounds like they are sending out in hierarchal order--oh well, this is what I suspect. But perhaps not as a girl said that last year a girl she knew got an acceptance one week later than others.</p>
<p>Law of supply and demand, maybe w & M can cut back on their advertising and marketing. What a great school, I am sorry that my son did not get in.</p>
<p>My son was "welcomed" today in MA. A great school at a bargain price, even for oos.</p>
<p>I got in in Cali! woot woot</p>
<p>Ok, so not seeing much of a pattern here. Hmmm...Can't for the life of me figure out what is so hard about mailing everything out at the same time!! Is anyone else imagining admission officers around the country drinking a cup of coffee today and laughing at all of us paranoid, wound too tight people stressing over when an envelop is placed in the mail!!! Ha...god help me... lol</p>
<p>I think you are correct. Whether or not we are "wound too tight," I think it is pretty insensitive to mail them out in bunches. Most colleges manage to mail them out the same day.</p>
<p>I got rejected :(</p>
<p>anyone think the rejections are coming a day later...i am kinda worried now because i didn't get anything today and i am from arkansas...if they sent them out monday and people from california are getting acceptance letters...doesnt that fall in with the theory...?</p>
<p>S got acceptance today in S. CA</p>
