Applications to the College of William and Mary are now being accepted. Let’s get the discussions going!
My daughter is 
We have all of the basics filled out on the Common App and just need to do the hardest part…activities and essays!
We love W&M and are hoping for the best!! Good luck to all!
Hey, looks like no one else is applying ED, so my daughter should be a shoo-in! Ha ha!
Here’s a crazy thing I’m prematurely pondering: ED decisions are usually set to come around December 1st. But 12/1 is on a Sunday this year, and it falls on Thanksgiving weekend. Thanksgiving is November 28-very late in the month, so I don’t see them releasing decisions that Friday, the 29th. Predictions on a release date? Prior to Thanksgiving? The week after? (Dec 2-6?)
I know, I know. WAY too early to worry about this, but it’s fun to think about!
EDITED TO ANSWER MY OWN QUESTION: Looks like results came out on the 7th last year and the 6th the previous year, so looks like 12/6 makes sense for this year!
Last year was the first time W&M had both ED1 and ED2. They may or may not follow an identical schedule as last year, depending on number of applications and so on.
Best wishes to your daughter!
My daughter just applied last night! Good luck to everyone applying.
I have one daughter who applied ED in 2018 and is a W&M student now, and a second daughter who might apply ED in 2020. Best wishes to all, and lmk if I can help answer any questions!
My daughter just applied W&M ED1. She has a 4.26 GPA, 1300 SAT (which I know is low), leadership in Chamber Orchestra, and she is in the Governor’s STEM Academy at her high school. She wants to major in chemistry or biology. She thinks she nailed her interview, and we are in-state. So I feel fairly confident about her chances. My concern is that she is taking 4 AP classes this year, and she is DROWNING. She has a couple of Bs and Cs for the first 9 weeks, which she has never had before. Will this hurt her chances of admission, or will they consider the fact that she has gotten all A’s up to this point and has never taken AP classes before?
Has anyone heard anything? Postcard? I am thinking it will be this Friday but the wait is killing me!
I posted this in another thread, but…
W&M Admissions Facebook page just posted that they will be releasing decisions Friday!
I can’t link it here, but here’s the text:
Early Decision I applicants can check their email inboxes this Friday evening (December 6) for admission decisions! #wm2024 For more information, read our ED I Notification announcement: https://www.wm.edu/admission/undergraduateadmission/announcements/early-decision-i-notifications.php
Thank you for the update!
