I noticed my son never got a request for mid-term grades via email. I see the blog entry talks about the midterm grades. Did others get an email request for midterms?
@cbl1 did not get request for mid-term grades but my school automatically sent them to all colleges I applied to at the end of my semester (end of Jan)
hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone had gotten a follow request from a william and mary student who works in admissions on instagram? If so, what did you make of this? A few weeks ago, I received a follow request from a student at william and mary who I do not know, and a few days later, I received a follow request from her friend. I didn’t accept them since my account is private, and I only allow people to follow my account who I know just out of practice, not a them thing lol. Some background info about me is that I did not receive a postcard, which is nbd, and I am an OOS. I also do not know anyone who currently attends william and mary, which is why this follow request stood out. Thank you!
hey guys! I actually think that WM will release decisions on Wednesday, March 20th. I just checked my CSS profile for another reason, and I saw that they are releasing their aid decision letter date on 3/20.
@Penguins75 I saw this on the CSS profile too! Could be nothing, but I’m still excited at potentially having my decision by Wednesday 
I got a couple of requests from W&M students too! I haven’t received a postcard either so I have no idea what it means, however another applicant from my HS had the same experience.
@asenn31 Did the other applicant get accepted or are they still waiting to hear?
waiting to hear as well
That does seem quite odd! Could it be a “friend of a friend” thing where someone liked a comment you made online and sent the friend request?
@asenn31 do you happen to know if the other student happened to have received a postcard?
@prodesse that is entirely possible, and I do follow the normal WM instagram account (not the admissions account), but when I looked at the first girl’s profile, they do not follow that account. Also, i think the other factor that adds to the bizarreness is that one of the girl’s friends also requested to follow me on instagram too. i can’t tell if this was admissions trying to catch a glimpse at my social media or something else lol.
@asenn31 hi! sorry for repeating the question above btw. my computer glitched and I couldn’t see your previous answer.
So about decisions… do you guys think they are gonna release tomorrow?
@Bluemarker I think so. It wouldn’t make sense for them to award financial aid tomorrow but not decisions XD
Where did they mention that aid would be announced tmrw?
@ddcollege35 when you look at your css profile, it says that the financial aid decision will be released 3/20.
have they ever released decisions on a wednesday?
@ninak21 yes! I traced their decisions back all the way to the 2015 and looked between then and 2018. In 2015 decisions came out in the 24 which was a Tuesday. In 2016 they released decisions on the 23 Wednesday. 2017 was also the 23 on the decisions were released on a Thursday. 2018 was on the 23, which was a Friday.
It seems to me that the 23 would be the day to release decisions this year, but that falls on a Saturday. I believe this year they will release sometime between tomorrow and Friday.
@bluemarker i guess now its just a very anxious waiting game!
@ninak21 Right! Good luck to you!
