<p>yeah the coach called me</p>
<p>well congrats once again! i hope I will be joining you next year… I’ll find out on saturday I guessss…</p>
<p>so as i imagine that all of you will find out today, i wish you guys the best of luck.
I got deferred today…but, it is better then flat out rejection.</p>
<p>once again, good luck to all of you.</p>
<p>ooh im so sorry! what did the letter say?</p>
<p>"The Admissions Committee of Washington and Lee University has given careful consideration to your application for Early Decision admission. At this time the Committee cannot assure you of a place in next fall’s enrolling class and is deferring your application to be evaluated during Regular Decision review period.</p>
<p>While this does not necessarily mean you will be ultimately denied admission to Washington and Lee, I do anticipate that competition for the remaining places in our freshman class will be even more rigorous than it was during the Early Decision review. The difficult reality of our decision-making each year is that we receive more applications from well-qualified students than we have room to admit. The keen competition you face for admission to W&L leads me to urge you to submit applications to other colleges in which you have sincere interest.</p>
<p>TO ensure that your application continues to receive every possible consideration, please have your college counselor send us your mid-year grades as soon as they become available. Also, please arrange to have any additional standardized test results sent directly to us from the testing agency. Following a further review of your candidacy, you will hear from us in early April regarding the final decision on your application.</p>
<p>I regret that we are unable to offer you early admission to Washington and Lee."</p>
<p>So my question is, do you think it is appropriate to send them a letter citing my intent to attend if I am admitted RD? Or is that too much.</p>
<p>I suppose the only thing left to do is ace my exams.</p>
<p>no that would probably be a good thing… i have a question though… where do you live?</p>
<p>i live in westchester NY</p>
<p>ooh okay wow yeah then I’m definitely getting my letter today…</p>
<p>yeah…so we are pretty close geographically i would imagine…i got my mail right when i woke up, so it was a pretty sudden and unexpected. best of luck.</p>
<p>pretty close indeed. I’m sorry again… in a couple of hours maybe we can console eachother</p>
<p>well I certainly hope we don’t have to do that.</p>
<p>Its funny, because when I got my letter, I went online, and the first thing I saw on facebook was one of my friends post a picture of his acceptance letter to W&L…I groaned.</p>
<p>thanks man… ouch that sucks im sorry</p>
<p>Mail came here, but no letter. Another 48 hours of waiting…ugh.</p>
<p>i was deferred good luck to those who havent gotten their letter yet</p>
<p>I got accepted!!!</p>
<p>sorry to those of you not so fortunate</p>
<p>didn’t get a letter today. guess I’ll know Monday… congrats to those of you who got in and I’ll keep my fingers crossed for everyone who got deferred or doesn’t know yet.</p>
<p>I am in texas and haven’t recieved my letter yet. guess I should get it tomorrow</p>
<p>ACCEPTED in Missouri!!! So happy. Envelope has 2 sheets…one white and one orange.
Good luck to everyone.</p>
<p>i got accepted today. good luck to everyone who was deferred-- i’ll keep my fingers crossed for you.</p>
<p>congrats! thanks, but I think I’m going to set my sights on other schools now, for one the letter was not very comforting and seemed to imply that I would not have a good chance of getting in, and two I’m not going to sit around wishing that I would have gotten in. They missed out on their chance of having me at their school. As far as I’m concerned, it was their loss.</p>
