College of William and Mary Class of 2019 RD Applicants Discussion

D1 accepted IS.
3.82 UW (with strong upward trend), 2270, Virginia resident. No scholar program - maybe she was too light on ECs?

for admitted student days, is it possible to stay overnight? I woul have to, since I’ll be traveling alone from OOS.

Has anyone received the envelopes in the mail yet? I’m all the way over in the Northwest. (Haven’t received.)

@Belizeme Our family is about 30 minutes from W&M as the crow flies (depending on I64 drivers that could be 30 minutes or 2 hours), and D has not rec’d hers but among her circle, one rec’d Thursday and one yesterday.

Accepted OOS 28 ACT and 3.8 GPA!!

D rec’d her packet yesterday.

Has anyone received anything on financial aid?

Figure skating coach and tutor
Subject Tests: 770 Bio E, 680 Lit

**I was home schooled for Junior and Senior at a co-op and the local university (extenuating circumstances).

I posted everything else in a “chance me” thread.

Strengths: ECs
Weaknesses: Test scores, found out too late I should take APs
Accepted: UVA, W&M, & 2 safeties
Wait listed: Vanderbilt, Bates, Kenyon
Rejected: Amherst, Wesleyan, Bowdoin, Vassar (which is weird b/c Vanderbilt only had 9.5% admit rate and my 32 ACT was below their 25%, while I was comfortably within the 25-75% of many of these northern schools).

Congrats to everyone in!!!

We’re wondering about that too. Looked on the my.wm site, but don’t see anything current on FA. There are some documents that are still listed as “under review.” Would love to know if my son’s getting anything from W&M so he can make a decision (unless something great happens tomorrow evening at around 5 pm).

My DD got an email last week re financial aid sending her to the my.wm site.
