F&M ED I acceptances 2015

I thought I would start a thread for the upcoming ED decisions. Good luck everyone. Feel free to post your decisions and stats here.

Anyone know when decisions are coming out?

Anxiously awaiting ED1 decisions this year

@1316gradmom They should be here December 15, but in previous years, they’ve been announced on the 12th and 13th, too.

Very nervous but very exciting. Odds they come out before the 15th?

I heard from my college counselor today that decisions are supposed to come out on the 12th! Good luck everyone!!!

@506pir @1316gradmom ^^

Is anybody super nervous? I am just soooo anxious.

Are the decisions going to be released today?

My online admissions portal seems to be down (not recognizing my login information), is anyone else having this issue?

Got our decision by good old regular mail! Admitted!!

What were your stats?

Does anyone know stats about F&M? I’m wondering if a deferment = polite rejection or if it truly means you’re close to admittance and will be competitive with the RD pool. You know, like Stanford rejects 85% of ED so the very few that are deferred are definitely still in the running, others defer almost all they don’t accept ED.

D admitted from Virginia. 31 ACT 3.8/4.3 GPA. “Most Rigorous” curriculum with 13 AP/IB courses.

@Pheebers Stats show that F&M takes 59.6% of the ED, and only about 1.2% from the waitlisted applicants (source: https://www.iecaonline.com/PDF/IECA_Library_ED-vs-RD-Acceptances.pdf)

I was deferred. Does anybody have any suggestions on what steps I should take from here? F&M is, and was, my first choice school.

I’m in the same situation as 506pir. Anyone have any tips? 506pir, what were your stats if you don’t mind?

SAT: 1760 (Did not submit, used writing supplements) CR + M = 1180

General Comments: I visited several times including a meeting with a department chair, an interview, college tour, open house, financial meeting, and overnight stay. I also submitted two extra writing samples in my portfolio.

Will be contacting my regional dean as F&M is currently still my first-choice school.

@AbanobSarkis

Okay so this is freaky but we had the same SAT score(which I didn’t submit) but I had a 28 ACT and 3.75 UW and also got deferred. It also seems like we are both from the same type of area, and I also showed the same amount of interest as you did. I also got a message on my financial aid portal that made me believe I was going to get in. I was devastated to be deferred. @506pir

@jam020194 I was also devastated. If I may ask, what were your EC’s like?
