College of William and Mary Class of 2025 — Regular Decision

What are the chances DD would get accepted RD if she didn’t write the supplemental essay? Strong candidate otherwise (4.43 wGPA, 34 ACT, 8 APs, top 5% of class). Drawbacks are she’s an Asian female from Northern Virginia.

Haven’t heard anything from W&M (no “cypher” letter, e.g.).

Wouldn’t it be more likely for decisions to come out Friday though?

I would have thought so too, but since they released ED2 on a wednesday I am thinking otherwise.

My D is OOS and has similar stats and didn’t receive a post card either. Why would being in state and an Asian female be a drawback?

“By April 1” or:

@lynabean626 we hope to release decisions to students’ portals in early April.

Both groups (Asian & female) are over-represented on the W&M campus. And they get a lot of applications from NoVA.

Good Luck to your D.

Nee updates say 3/21.

What’s nee?

@Muad_dib Good luck! Who knows but we were told by HS counselor and private college counselor “optional” supplemental essays aren’t truly optional. They wouldn’t ask the question if they didn’t want to see the answer. But only W&M really know! :woman_shrugging:

So why make it optional? I guess to see who is serious maybe.

@Maud_dib Just curious? Why is that a drawback? Because you are in state in urban area?

No schools are reporting a release date of 3/21.

3/21 was for 2020.

Anybody know when decisions are coming out?
