Do you guys think that they may only do them on Mondays, Wednesdays, & Fridays? That would be my best guess. I am so nervous, even though I am 80% sure they will not send them out tonight if they haven’t already.
I agree @emflatt I don’t think anything will come tonight…
Is there usually some kind of waitlist for transfer applicants?
Also, these are my specs…
ACT: 30/ Superscore 31
High school GPA: 3.97
College GPA: 3.33 as of last semester
College currently attending: Sewanee (the University of the South)
Recommendations: My current school is very small and close relationships with professors are heavily encouraged, so I was able to get 3 awesome recommendations.
College ECs: Involvement with Campus Crusades for Christ, member of Alpha Phi Omega (leadership and community service co-ed fraternity), Vice President of my pledge class for Alpha Phi Omega (fall semester), Pledge Trainer for Alpha Phi Omega (spring semester)
High School ECs: Beta Club, NHS, NCSS, Relay for Life, Volunteer Girls State, Leadership program through my county, Volunteering with my local Chamber of Commerce, many other community service activities, 1 job from 16-17, and then 2 from 17-18 while still in school.
Good luck to all of you and a huge congratulations to those already accepted! It is a wonderful accomplishment.
I am not sure about that. There must be some kind of rhyme or reason to the way they are sending out decisions, because I got my application in and verified as complete almost a month before the deadline. The applicants that were accepted yesterday got their applications in just before the deadline… But, I am just reminding myself to remain calm and be patient.
Yes, there is a waitlist. From what I understand, they offer you a spot and the quicker you accept, the better. They do still like to see demonstrated interest from waitlisters, though. There is some info on it somewhere on their website, I couldn’t tell you where though. I have seen so much on their website in the past month. I hope this helps!
@emflatt very impressive! I think you have a solid shot!
Thank you! I appreciate the encouragement. I hope you get in!
@emflatt What program did you apply to?
Thanks! I hope you do as well!

I don’t remember there being an alternative choice in the login… I don’t see an alternative either!

My high school wasn’t strong, but hopefully college will overshadow that… Plus, my test scores were waived from high school, so I am thinking that that might be a positive in my favor. What do you guys think? Be brutally honest.
And by waived, I mean my counselor at Vandy.
@WMstudent18 I think you should feel confident! You have strong stats. What makes you want to leave William and Mary? That’s a great school! However, if it isn’t the right fit, then it just isn’t.
