<p>college email addresses should come later...</p>
<p>they will be firstinitial/middleinitial/<a href="mailto:completelastname@wm.edu">completelastname@wm.edu</a>.... without the "/" in between. It used to be only the first 4 letters of your last name, but the 2012s were the first ones to get complete last names, and with that, you get to keep your address for life.</p>
<p>after you get your email you can log onto my.wm.edu and start poking around...</p>
<p>congrats to everyone who got in! (and if you didn't get in, you will still find yourself with an awesome college experience, possibly still at WM)</p>
<p>I already mentioned that I got in but stats are: 3.9,7 IBs (1 SL, rest HL) and 2 APs, 2020 SAT, in-state (NoVA), International DECA competitor twice (top 10), FBLA State competitor and chapter historian, founder/president history honor society, part-time job, 4 other honor societies, key club</p>
<p>Congratulations to those who were admitted -- all of you deserve it!</p>
<p>My D was denied -- her stats were a bit low and this school was her reach --</p>
<p>GPA 3.1 (actually lower than I thought); SATs 1810 (same, lower); private high school in Richmond, so in state.</p>
<p>Lots of ECs though.</p>
<p>However she received an admissions offer from Longwood University which is looking like a very good option and she may just go with that school rather than keep applying to other schools. </p>
<p>Her friends gave me permission to share this:</p>
<p>Her boyfriend's brother was admitted ED with a 3.4 W GPA/ACT 30/Varsity athlete/scads of ECs, community service stuff (public high school in state)</p>
<p>and her boyfriend's brother's friend was deferred ED with a 3.0 W GPA/2100 SAT/Varsity athlete x 4 yrs; same public high school in state (class of 700)</p>
<p>I got in and words can not describe my happiness. Stats:

I am so fortunate...
What a tough wait...don't like the snail mail letter method
Best of luck to all of you out there....hang tough</p>
<p>don't feel bad bacon, it is a very selective school, and- in terms of your relationship- perhaps it's better that you and your boyfriend got the same decision so that you can remain together [=</p>
<p>I just found out I have mail from W&M. Can't get home for a few hours. What does the envelope look like on rejection? I would think the acceptance envelope is different from rejection.</p>
<p>Please someone tell what the two different envelopes look like I'm dying.</p>
