<p>Hi, I am an OOS student from New York and chose not to apply ED to William and Mary and have realized too late that it is my first choice school, I know that W&M does not have a second ED deadline like some other schools so I was wondering if there is anything I can add to my application to show my interest in attending the school. Does admissions even take interest into account? I know that many schools do not. I do understand though if there isn't a lot I can do about this matter, I will just hope for the best!!</p>
<p>W&M does not use demonstrated interest as a factor (other than of course noting that that who apply ED are naming W&M as a top choice). We assume anyone who applies is at least interested in attending. You are welcome to email your regional dean (Matt Pohl) a short message regarding your interest if you wish.</p>
