<p>Hi W&M Admissions</p>
<p>I was wondering if I would have known if I was selected to participate in the St Andrews Joint Degree programme by now or not... I am THRILLED to have been accepted to W&M as it was my top choice and dream school! Have the decisions for the joint degree programme been released with the W&M's acceptance emails or will they be coming in the mail? Thanks!</p>
<p>You should have been notified around the same time as your regular admission decision.
See this blog about the Joint Program Decision: [W&M</a> Blogs Admit It!](<a href=“http://blogs.wm.edu/author/admiss/]W&M”>Admit It!, Author at The William & Mary Blogs)</p>
<p>wmv1234, congrats on your admission. Those waitlisted or denied for the joint degree program were notified via email. Those admitted were mailed something on Tuesday. If you read between the lines of this post you’ll be able to know what decision is coming your way. “Good Things” may be multiplied!</p>
<p>what was the acceptance rate this year?</p>
<p>This is the first year of the program so there’s history for this program.</p>
<p>We will release stats for the incoming class in mid April but the admit rate for the joint degree program won’t be terribly different than our overall admission rate (generally around 33%).</p>
<p>My son is not able to attend the official DFAS because he is rowing on a top boat in his team’s regatta that day. </p>
<p>Is there a way that he can visit campus, talk to students and perhaps spend a day or overnight on campus on another day? He is visiting his top 3 schools in April, and he wants to spend time at W/M before his final decision. Recommendations?</p>
<p>My school’s schedule has not worked well with the college application timetable: first it was an incredibly late end to first semester followed by excrutiatingly slow sending of the mid year grades report and now it is a horrendously times spring break. My parents are taking our little family out of state to visit relatives- a last vacation together before my elder sibling spreads her wings and flies on to her next adventure into adulthood and my going to college.
But, the W&M admit info hasn’t shown up yet and I am afraid I will miss important things while we are gone. </p>
<p>Is there a way to gain access via the computer so I can check on things?</p>
<p>lastof3, the admit pack will direct you to the Welcome website where you will learn about myWM Mondays. These provide an alterative visit opportunity for admitted students. They are held on April 4, 11, and 25 and they allow admitted students to shadow a current student for the day (go to classes, eat lunch on campus, etc.). Parent have various sessions with campus administrators and students. Unfortunately, there is no overnight opportunity unless the admitted student knows someone on campus and then they are welcome to stay on campus as that student’s guest.</p>
<p>bluegrassgrl, Day for Admitted Students is on April 16. No doubt the admit pack will arrive shortly (it didn’t leave our office until Tuesday morning so likely it has yet to reach some out-of-state locales). While we cannot provide the welcome site URL over the phone as it’s a private site for admitted students and families, you are welcome to private message us or call us and we’ll provide you the URL</p>
<p>Hi W&M Admissions,
My D has recently been admitted and she is excited about the many academic opportunities. While she will research on her own anyways, I have a copule of questions about the 3:2 and Pre-Med -</p>
<ol>
<li>Does pursuing one preclude the other? Are there students who try to pursue both?</li>
<li>Is there any statistics about Columbia 3:2 enrollment - number enrolled and successful etc?</li>
</ol>
<p>Many thanks.</p>
<p>XPLEDCS, not sure pursuing one precludes the other but it likely does. A pre-med program in undergrad is generally a four-year endeavor and the courses for that are different than the courses for pre-engineering so likely your student would need to settle on one or the other. Prepping for med school, taking the mCat, etc are very time-consuming and a student wouldn’t want to do that half-heartedly. Likely after the first year one passion will become clear.</p>
<p>As for your second question, we’d encourage you to contact Professor Averett (<a href=“mailto:tdaver@wm.edu”>tdaver@wm.edu</a>). He’s the advisor of the 3:2 program and would likely be able to answer your questions</p>
