Washington and Lee ED Class of 2021 W&L

I’m freaking out about it now. Knowing an exact date and time after all this waiting and knowing that it is tomorrow is intense. We know our fate after clicking a few buttons.

Holy…idk how I will control my nerves tomorrow. I will be at a high school swim meet during that time. Good luck everyone.

I wonder what happens when you log onto the GHQ?

Just got the email letting us know about tomorrow at 8, even though we’ve known on here for days lol. I wonder if you don’t get accepted what it would say as well.

What sold you guys on Washington and Lee? Some conversation as we all lie in wait for 24 hours.

Certainly not one thing that sold me on W&L, there were many. Although I did not fall in love with the college, I really felt it met my academic, social, and athletic self more than the other schools I narrowed down. The traditions struck a cord with me that no other school did.

The academics and traditions are a big draw for me as well, but what really sold me is the way the school made me feel over the times that I visited. I don’t know about y’all, but when I’m at Dubyuhnell I can feel a general positivity surrounding the school to which no other school I visited compared. The feel of the school in combination with amazing professors and opportunities made my choice clear. What about you? @yankeecandles

Basically^^^^^. After touring it was in my top 5, but I was my recruiting trip that made my decision. After my trip I realized that as someone who is relatively shy, the welcoming environment was something that was unlike any other school, and I knew that I would be able to make so many friends. Between the amazing host I had, the awesome academics, and the W&L community, I realized that I couldn’t imagine being at another school (this even outweighed that the school wasn’t in the proximity of a major city, something I really wanted!)

My math teacher for the past 2 years attended W&L and loooves it so much that he convinced me to go tour it. Fell in love when I went last spring…ran into random professors who showed me around, got to sit in on a class–felt at home the moment I stepped on campus. The sense of community sold me.

What athletics are you planning to do? I would like to run cross country and track & field.

Honestly, I felt something great as soon as I walked on campus. As I learned more about the classes they offer in English literature and journalism, it sold me. Also, one of my favorite teachers went there and she recommended that I apply.

TERRIFIED

We got our news! My daughter was accepted and we are so happy for her!!!

Hello all, I have just been admitted to W&L. I am an international student from Egypt and I want to know any of the accepted students if someone is interested.

My daughter was accepted as well and is over the moon!!!

Hi @FadyGouda122 I’m an international from Bangladesh and I’ve just been admitted to W&L wohoo!

Congrats to everyone who was accepted! I wonder if more were accepted from this thread and they just didn’t post. Only four of us spoke up. @lagertha, where are y’all from? We are from the Lake Norman area, just north of Charlotte. My daughter only knows of one other student from this area who will attend W and L.

Congratulations to your daughter! We live in the tidewater area of VA. We know of one other student from our area also.

I bet the RD round will result in more admissions from both Tidewater VA and the Charlotte area, @ncmotherofthree and @lagertha. Congrats to your daughters! Mine graduated from W&L and loved it. Make your parents weekend hotel reservations NOW.

Thank you! We are all thrilled!!! Do you have hotel suggestions with reasonable rates?
