@GLW2702 While OOS admission may be competitive, his GPA is nearly perfect and he has a very strong ACT score. Extracurriculars look decent so I would say, if he wrote a good essay, he has a pretty decent shot. (I’m no expert by any means, just my opinion). I have also read and heard that males, especially OOS males, have quite an advantage when it comes to admission at W&M, so he has that also going for him.
Last time they released on 11/30 was on a friday in 2011!
wednesday*
has anyone emailed/called the admissions office?
Oh my goodness I don’t know if I can wait that long!! Also isn’t is weird that we may be talking to our future classmates right now???
Yeah hopefully!
I’ve got an In-state son applying ED. Getting nervous here too!
I wonder if we could email or call the admissions office to see if they have a date. I just don’t want to appear to pushy…
yeah, same. i don’t want to appear pushy, but i’m incredibly anxious. i’m keeping my expectations low, but i’m just so nervous…
@NilaLeslib13 I am totally lurking on this thread (my DS will apply RD or ED2, and W&M is a reach), but I’m happy to read that being OOS and male is a tiny bump! Although, don’t they have to admit 66% instate and 33% OOS, so being OOS seems actually like a major disadvantage.
Good luck all! Love the school; we visited twice!! 
@TS0104 As a public school, WM definitely has an admission advantage for in state students. What I meant to say was that OOS males tend to have a higher admit rate than OOS females due to the fact that schools of the profile of WM are struggling to attract males in general. Not a huge bump, but they definitely take this into consideration from what I’ve heard.
Anyone else been on this thread 4-5 times everyday for the past week trying to determine when admission decisions will be released? Haha. Goodluck to everyone on getting in!
I’ve been so nervous that I have been religiously checking this site and the blog to see if anything new has popped up, tho the blog will prob be updated at 5 so they don’t get 5000 calls
yeah, i’ve been checking frequently as well. this week is going to be funnnn…
do you think it’s gonna come out wednesday or friday?
@ninak21 Classes end on Friday, so I’m putting my money on Friday. I’m so anxious! I’ve been refreshing my email 20+ times a day and crazily checking the admissions blog.
@michwing me too !! i’m so nervous, my stats aren’t too great compared to others but i’m hoping my essays set me apart
What is the William and Mary blog that has been referenced?
Yeah I’m guessing admissions decisions will be released sometime this week (prob Friday). Let the countdown begin…
Good luck everyone!
If anyone wanted the link, here is the Admit It! Admissions Blog:

They will probably post something prior to the decisions being released. It could be any day now, probably in the late afternoon. Fingers crossed…
