The official William and Mary transfer 2009 thread!

<p>I’m in CA and nothing has come in the mail</p>

<p>Haha, Zenout would you like me to make you an Admin on the facebook group so you can basically take over the reins of updating it and stuff? I am not very proficient at facebook but I wasn’t sure if anyone else would create a group so I took the initiative of starting one. I would be more than willing to hand the control of the group over to you though. Send me a facebook message if you’re interested. And if you’ve been accepted, or even if you’ve been rejected, feel free to join the group to discuss stuff for the fall.</p>

<p>Accepted! :)</p>

<p>Congrats to everyone! It came to my house so I found out via a fb message from my mom. Still, it’s one damn good feeling.</p>

<p>Well hopefully I’ll be getting mine tomorrow. Congratulations to all of you! Seems like there’s been good luck in this thread</p>

<p>Think the people in CA will hear tomorrow, arcadefire1027?</p>

<p>I’m in northern va, and haven’t received any mail yet.</p>

<p>Waitlisted, though it did say they only put 60 kids on the waitlist.</p>

<p>I still haven’t heard anything. Think that’s bad news?</p>

<p>I got it.</p>

<p>I don’t think it’s necessarily bad news, they mailed it with regular postage so arrival of the “news” will all depend on where you live…</p>

<p>I live like less then two hours from the school. i hope they’re not delaying a rejection.</p>

<p>You should call the admission office in the morning to make sure a decision was made.</p>

<p>I GOT IN! It didn’t come with a financial aid package though</p>

<p>congrats!!!

<p>Wow, that is definitely an impressive record OCC!</p>

<p>Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but do our GPAs transfer from our old schools to W&M? I’ve read that it at some schools it does, while at others it doesn’t. I know that if you get below a C you don’t get transfer credit, but I’m unclear about the GPA. Thanks!</p>

<p>Your GPA does not transfer from your old school to W&M. Only your credits will transfer. You will start out with a brand new GPA at WM - just like starting college all over again (-:</p>

<p>Great, thank you! :)</p>
