F&M Regular Decision 2016

I wanted to create this thread for those who applied Regular Decision to F&M and are awaiting a decision. Feel free to discuss your stats (SAT/GPA) if you are awaiting a decision from F&M. If you were an Early Decision candidate, feel free to post your stats and if you were accepted/rejected.

@pyramidpalooza Hey! yea I saw that there wasn’t a thread for this so thanks for creating this

@pyramidpalooza I absolutely have no idea when decisions are going to be released, do you have any idea?

Hey guys! International student here. Applied to F&M and also gave the optional interview. Hoping for the best.

We should hear back by March 25. I actually applied Early Decision I but was deferred to Regular Decision. I have a 1910 SAT (740M 560CR 610W) and a 3.4 GPA (3.9 GPA during Junior Year and a 4.0 during Senior Year). It would be great if you guys could also share your stats.

Applied RD, F&M is a top choice.

SAT: 1960
GPA: 3.7
Completed optional interview.
Recs: 9.0
Essay:8.0

Any ideas on my chances?

I think you have a pretty good shot at getting in. I also completed the optional interview.

Applied RD, F&M is also my top choice.
