Is this a positive sign?

<p>I am wondering if an applicant (with good stats) has been very recently invited by a coach to visit W&M, if this means the applicant is a strong candidate for admission. In other words, at this point would a coach bother to invite a potential student athlete that the admissions dept is not planning to accept?</p>

<p>happy2go2college, we always caution students not to read too much into things just so that you’re never doing anything under false pretenses. </p>

<p>We have not yet finished making all decisions so the coach may not be aware yet of your particular admission status.</p>

<p>That being said, coaches are in constant contact with our office and we’d encourage you to talk to the coach about the visit and how he/she believes your application is faring.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks, William and Mary. I am disappointed. I was hoping it was a positive sign. I will attend the visit with your cautionary words.</p>

<p>happy2go2college, it could be a positive sign but because no decisions are final we just wouldn’t want any applicant to read too much into anything.</p>

<p>We’ll be releasing decisions sometime next week so you’ll know very soon. And again, contact the coach. They are often at liberty to give out information we are not. Enjoy your visit.</p>
