<p>when does WM mail there decisions and do they send you an email as well?</p>
<p>The application states that "Decisions are issue December 1," but I have been told that most past students have found out by Thanksgiving.</p>
<p>sweet so thats 2 weeks is that the norm giving the decision b4 thanksgiving???</p>
<p>I applied RD to William and Mary last year and if I remember correctly, the students from my school that applied early decision found out before Thanksgiving. I just remember lots of excitement with those who found out earlier than the Dec.1 time frame.......before Thanksgiving seemed to be an unexpected surprise. Once you know your ED status, you will be much relieved to not have to wait until May 1st! Remember the big envelope giveth and the small envelope taketh away! Good Luck!</p>
<p>My son applied ED and found out the day after Thanksgiving.</p>
<p>Rileydog: How is your son doing at W & M? Has it lived up to his expectations?</p>
<p>I would bet they come after thanksgiving this year since turkey day seems like it's earlier than some years.</p>
<p>bluejay: he seems to be doing ok - kind of busy right now - he is working on an IRC conference for high school students, paper, exams. I guess I will know more at Thanksgiving. I think I hear pros and cons in his comments. Personally, I am quite certain now that it is just too far away <g>!</g></p>
