I will celebrate with milk.
@Brechenville Make sure it’s Cheerio-flavored.
@XxStudentXx26 Thank you very much it definitely came as a shock! I would have to go visit both schools as they are very similar in my eyes. I hope the best for you today and for everyone else on this crazy journey!
I’m curious to know as to why you guys picked W&M. 
can we pleeeeease get decisions today pleeeasseeee. Im praying to the ghost of King William III and Queen Mary II.
Sorry guys but I don’t think we will today…someone asked again on Twitter specifically if they’d release it today or tomorrow and they replied “they will be sent by early May” .
You never know. Sometimes schools have to stick to a script, just in case something goes wrong and can not be released on the anticipated date.
oh my gosh I don’t think my lil ole heart can take any more waiting!! I hope whoever’s running the Twitter is simply being neutral to avoid conflict in the case that they’re not sent on the day they claimed
The key word in that tweet is “by” not “in” early May. May 1st is next Tuesday. Why would they release decisions on a Monday? It would break tradition and flood their phone lines during the week. Logic tells us they would be released today or during the weekend. They (meaning the person in charge of social media releases) don’t want to release a “for sure” date and then renege if there turns out to be a technical difficulty or their colleagues say they aren’t ready later in the day.
Good luck everyone!!! Crossing my fingers
Well to be technical they have released decisions on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday etc. So there is no real tradition or pattern to when they have released it previous years. However I see what you mean, but I would not be surprised if they did release it next week on a Monday or Tuesday. Let’s just hope it’s today or tomorrow though!
@dcstorm97 you’re exactly right. I appreciate the thorough close-reading of their tweet. “Early May” includes the very first day of May, which is Tuesday…so we should know BY Tuesday. I agree that a Friday evening decision release is the most logical, so keep checking their “admit it” blog for a post.
Last year, on the date when Fall transfer decisions were released, the accompanying blog post said “transfer decisions are officially on their way to your inbox”. This suggests that the blog update was posted around the same time decisions were released, which is probably around 5pm.
Keep an eye on their blog, but don’t expect to see anything until around 5/6 pm.
Early May can include May 2nd or May 3rd. Not saying they would go that late withholding the decisions, which I doubt, but they can really release whenever even late in the game since they do have the upper hand haha :(. They most likely would release it tomorrow or today. But I would not throw the idea away that they could really just mean next week because most universities release decisions by May 1st. W&M is known though for releasing a small portion out early than normal. I find it surprising they are not doing it this year since it has been a nice sturdy pattern the last few years. Anyone else thinks it is due to the high number of transfer students who applied…?
By the way guys, I don’t think it is a script. I want to point out that in the past and even recently (for freshmen decisions) they are confident on including students on when they will be releasing. If you have seen their Facebook or admit it, previous years, when students have asked on when they can expect to be notified, they have usually told them, or announced to give a heads up on when they are releasing it. I honestly think they may not know or be as confident…
If you check out the page source on WMblogs, it actually shows the submission timestamp as a meta property called “article:published_time”.
I’m not sure if I’m converting the timestamps correctly, but it looks like these were the blog release times from previous years.

Damn, @theriley106, that overrides my analysis. W&M has released transfer decisions within the month of April for the past 7-8 years. I cannot find data that goes further into the past. Extrapolating from what we DO have, though, it is likely that we will hear either tonight, tomorrow, Sunday, or Monday.
VT transfers are lucky…they heard today.
And uva …COME ON W&M X_X
Come on W&M… You can’t be the only school not to announce today 
ACCEPTED!!
