Wondering if I would get in RD or would the only way I get in be through ED. I’m well aware that ED means fully committing to the school and I don’t want to play the numbers; I’m just curious to hear thoughts on whether or not I could get in RD or would my only chance be ED, as the competition, especially in my area, is significantly higher on the normal decisions timeline.

Hi! I had a similar profile to you. I applied ED and got in, and I’m pretty sure you’d definitely get in ED as well. I would say you have a pretty good chance RD, especially with the unique essay. Make a list of all the schools you’re applying to, and imagine that you got into all of them, including W&M. Apply ED if you would still go with W&M.

Hi, Did you apply ED this fall for next fall or are did you apply ED in a past year? My daughter is applying ED in a couple of days, before the 11/1 deadline & was told she won’t know till early December.
