Washington and Lee - Class of 2016

<p>Today’s the day! Anyone else super nervous?</p>

<p>I am kind of nervous, but I’m trying to just ignore it! Good luck everyone!</p>

<p>Does anyone know what time they come out?</p>

<p>8pm tonight is what I saw on their web site.</p>

<p>8pm DAMNN!</p>

<p>@Rme123- my thoughts exactly!! Haha</p>

<p>LOL stephykate. It’s 2 am here. Guess I’ll have to stay awake for another 3 hours!</p>

<p>Just take a nap and set an alarm so you wake up! Time will pass by much more quickly. :slight_smile: (that’s probably what I’ll do and it’s 5:20 PM here…)</p>

<p>It’s pretty hard. But I’m gonna try.
Thanks Steph <3</p>

<p>You’re welcome! Nothing like a little CC to calm your nerves… not.</p>

<p>Accepted!!<br>
Their financial aid package was amazing as well…</p>

<p>Just wondering, did everyone else’s letter say “While the Committee’s decision on your acceptance was based primarily on your academic record, it also felt that you possess those individual qualities of character and achievement the University has traditionally sought in its students.”?</p>

<p>Because my interview went great and I was wondering if that had anything to do with it…I didn’t think my stats were up to par with W&L</p>

<p>That was the same wording my daughter had in her acceptance letter.</p>

<p>I just got accepted with a half tuition scholarship. Can’t wait to join the best party school on the east coast. W&L = Wasted & Loving it.</p>

<p>Stats:
GPA: 4.23 W
SAT: 2100+
ECs: Good and unique and well rounded
Hooks: 5th generation legacy, Music Recruit
Income Bracket: $350,000+</p>

<p>I got in!! Is it true that their acceptance rate was only 17% this year?</p>

<p>Got in!
Super excited.</p>

<p>3.8 W
2000+ SAT I
720 and 720 on SAT II’s
EC’s: Lots, but most involved in debate (congressional and PF)
Hooks: Jewish</p>

<p>I thought I was set on Cornell but W&L is starting to seem like the better option now haha</p>

<p>Accepted!</p>

<p>GPA: 4.09 weighted
SAT: 2100+
ECs: soccer captain, NHS president, did an internship in the NICU, a full year of immunology research</p>

<p>I’m so excited! And yes, on the admitted students page it said they had a 17% acceptance rate this year.</p>

<p>Where on the portal did you guys check your results?</p>

<p>I’m kind of ****ed.
3.7 UW GPA. Ranked top 10% of a competitive magnet school. 2200 SAT’s. 780 Math2. Lots of extracurriculars. President, VP, Editor, Exec Board of almost all of those clubs. founded a grassroots soccer charity in our county.
I got wait listed…
Ugh. I don’t like that colleges prefer kids with parents who earn 6digits over other kids:/</p>

<p>@stresscasejen - I’m pretty sure W&L is need-blind as are most top schools… I got in an my parents’ income is 27K</p>
