<p>Well, I was waitlisted. I was wondering just some basic stuff about W&M waitlists, such as the size, the average accepted, and what the situation would be with regards to the St. Andrews joint degree program (for which I was waitlisted along with the college itself). Anyone have any info or experiences to share? Thanks!</p>
<p>How many people get put on (and taken off) the waitlist can very a lot each year. Check out W&M’s common data sets to get an idea of what the waitlist has been like in past years here [William</a> & Mary -*Common Data Set](<a href=“http://www.wm.edu/offices/iae/institutional_research_reporting/cds/index.php]William”>http://www.wm.edu/offices/iae/institutional_research_reporting/cds/index.php).</p>
<p>Waitlist info is in section C: First-time First-Year Admissions</p>
<p>So this means last year, approx. 17% were admitted from the waitlist, the year before that was 1%, the year before that was 12%, and the year before that, 6%. My guess is that the number will be below 10 this year, but that is still a decent amount of lucky waitlistees. </p>
<p>Don’t give up all hope, all of you out there! You will end up where you are meant to be! Life without W&M will not be better or worse, simply different, but only if you allow yourself to let go. Trust me, this is coming from a waitlisted ED applicant.</p>
<p>We encourage you to review the waitlist FAQ sight linked in the email decision you received. That will address most of your questions about the waitlist.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, as your decision email stated, we have no way to know at this time whether we will be able to admit any students off of the W&M waitlist or the joint degree program waitlist and won’t know that for sometime. </p>
<p>We encourage you to deposit elsewhere and give yourself some time to consider whether W&M is still something you wish to pursue. If so, remain on the waitlist and we’ll be in touch in mid June.</p>
