<p>Does anyone know how many applied ED this year to William and Mary? Were the numbers up or down this year? I'm just curious because the Washington Post and the NYT both ran an article today citing the increases/decreases in ED/EA applicants at various universities and colleges. I know that William and Mary had a big surge last year and cannot expect a jump every year; however, I know that a record-breaking number of students at our high school applied ED to CWM this fall. I'm wondeing if that was typical across the board.</p>
<p>Our ED pool this year was very comparable to last year’s in terms of number of applicants and we expect to admit approximately the same percentage as last year.</p>
<p>W&M Admission, on an earlier post you said, “As for notification, we are choosing not to release any details regarding method at this time until we know for 100% certainty how we will notify applicants so that we do not give out any misinformation. However, any changes we make will not change our decision notification timelines.” Do you know definitively yet whether you will send letters of notification, or use an alternative notification method, this week?</p>
<p>Good news! We will be releasing decisions tonight via email. Check the email address submitted in your application as this is the email address we will use to send you your decision.
