<p>Is it correct that out of state letters are actually sent out later? I'm in Maryland, so if they are sent out at the same time I should hear soon, but I thought I read that this was not the case?</p>

22

<p>I hope that's not true and they were all sent out at the same time. :( I think based on last year it looked like there was quite a difference in when in-state and OOS found out though...</p>

23

<p>Yeah I Got In Today!!!!!!!!!</p>

24

<p>


I know what is with that? We live like 45min away from W&M. I just hope we get it tomorrow.</p>

25

<p>yeah, i live about 45 minutes away too!
i go to PAHS.</p>

<p>so i've been asking around and it seems that everyone who got a letter today was accepted (about 5 people- all in virginia beach). which makes me even more nervous that maybe the upcoming "batches" that WM sends out will have less acceptance letters?</p>

26

<p>I'm sure they send out letters in waves, each with some acceptances and rejections...it would be too cruel to send out all the acceptances and rejections separately.</p>

27

<p>I was thinking that they sent them all out at once and the heavier ones(accepted) took longer in the USPS and the lighter(denied) ones would receive faster. I just hope I get my letter tomorrow.</p>

28

<p>Someone should call admissions tomorrow to ask if all decisions have been sent, or if they're going out in waves.</p>

29

<p>The students at my school who applied early decision and were accepted received the acceptance package two days before the deferred/rejected kids. I think they all had the same postmark date but I'll have to check on it.</p>

30

<p>One of my friends got one and I didn't...oh noes!</p>

31

<p>I live in Chesapeake (south eastern area)</p>

32

<p>So.... is anyone that got in actually going to WM????</p>

33

<p>I am 99.99% sure that I am going to W&M... I just want to wait to see my financial aid package before I send out that postcard...</p>

34

<p>o0o0o0 ok... i want to see about fin aid too. I got into cornell and WM so far and am leaning towards Cornell.</p>

<p>but if the finaid isn't good enough, i can't go.</p>

<p>like 20% of my graduating class is going to WM. not too pleased about that</p>

35

<p>omgomgomgg letters are being sent out!? this is too soon i wasnt expecting itt. but im out of state so maybe it wont be that soon. </p>

<p>nervous.</p>

36

<p>Aite here's my stats for acceptance - this will make some of you with lower GPAs more hopeful :)</p>

<p>GPA: 3.487 (without semester grades) 3.528 (with semester grades) weighted</p>

<p>SATs: 700 Math 680 Reading 660 Writing 670 Math IIC 670 US History</p>

<p>Recs: I think these and my essay got me in. 1 from boss at internship for 3 yrs saying I was the best intern they've ever had, better than many college level students, 1 from English teacher saying I was one of the best in her career (was read the opening sentence), 1 from a counselor that read me her very positive recommendation, and 1 from a teacher who I've literally taught classes for and regularly pulls me out of my other classes for help.</p>

<p>Essays: I wrote about my business endeavors, taking them from starting out with a lemonade stand and to running a global computer hardware trade business and talking about that. I feel like I came through pretty well.</p>

<p>ECs: Besides the business, Pres, founder, and trip leader in ski club. Officer in 2 other clubs, community service, teaching skiing to people with disabilities, but things I was interested in - as policy I don't do something simply to get into college. </p>

<p>School: Very competitive public magnet in fairfax va (In state obviously)</p>
