<p>im international, they emailed me :(</p>
<p>then i want to be international!</p>
<p>for once i was upset i was</p>
<p>first rejection...well at least its from a school i wasnt extremely into</p>
<p>i know what you mean. i don't think i will even consider one or two that will send me a rejection (applied so long ago that i have changed my mine about some) but i would rather be accepted and turn them down.</p>
<p>Decision: ACCEPTED</p>
<ol>
<li>Intended Major: English</li>
<li>Cumulative SAT (best of all times taken, old & new version): 2380</li>
<li>GPA: 4.58 W/4.0 UW</li>
<li>Rank: 2/363</li>
<li>Location: Hampton Roads, VA</li>
<li>ECs: Museum volunteer, Student Government</li>
<li>Love to write. Essay = Shakespeare (the topic I wrote about, not "I AM Shakespeare!") Lol.</li>
<li>Attending: Probably not. W&M was my deepest back-up. If I do, it will be because I picked it over UVA, which I am in Echols (I got Monroe), and if I go to either of them, it will be because of finance.
Currently my best pick is Dartmouth.</li>
</ol>
<p>Now, a word to wait-listed/rejected people...of 28 in my school, only 11 were accepted. Someone with a 4.23 W GPA was wait-listed. W&M got 11,000 applications and has 3,000 spots. A 27% acceptance rate this year! Also, the competition was much tougher for females. The school has a 45%-55% split in favor of females, that it tries to maintain. The applications came in a 35%-65% bent. Therefore, the guys had a normal (35%) chance of acceptance, while the girls had only a 23% chance. That is very nearly Ivy.</p>
<p>-Info from my guidance counselor.</p>
<p>god the matriculation rate sucks</p>
<p>27%...thats really significantly lower...thats makes me feel kind of good about myself for getting in...</p>
<p>Bjcdb:
It seems like the matriculation rate does suck...i don't know how to explain that...it might just be a coincidence that a lot of people who don't want to go are posting on CC</p>
<p>well 120+ people were taken off the waitlist last year-the year in which admissions really did take off, so it isn't just CC. Our administration doesn't help this either</p>
<p>that 23% is for ALL female applicants right...it isn't lower for OOS???</p>
<p>I agree... they need to figure out what to do here to get the matriculation rate up. When it comes down to it, W&M is still a public school, that most people do not dream to attend, regardless of the amazingly high level of undergraduate education.</p>

<p>so like am i the only one that is planning on going if accepted? cause it is amazing how many are using wm as a backup.</p>
<p>well, lets just consider the kind of people who actually post on this message board. I'm sure most people who get in are going to attend, just a lot of people on this message board are more geared towards more name-brand schools... I didn't even think I was going to get into william and mary.</p>

<li>Don't know if I will be attending W&M. I'd really like to go to Wake Forest. W&M fits my academic needs, I have a good shot at playing lacrosse there, yet I dont know if its the school for me. If I do not get into Wake Forest, I'll definitely give it a strong consideration.</li>

<p>I guess OOS have been mailed because both jason and roberto are out of state and have heard.</p>
<p>jason was ED and roberto was probably either ED or got a scholarship
don't spread rumors, haha</p>
<p>I got mine RD, but I think they want me to play lacrosse, so that might have had an effect.</p>
<p>No letter yet, and I'm really getting fed-up with this waiting game.</p>
