William and Mary Class of 2023 ED1 Discussion Thread

They released them two years ago at 5:00

So do I understand correctly that there’s still a chance they could release results tonight?

Yeah, there is always a good chance. I doubt they would release anything past 8, so rest assured if it is not out by then tonight then it is either tomorrow or Friday (which is more likely as that is the last day of classes at W&M)

Yes, but it has normally been 5:00. If we don’t hear by 6:30 I’m assuming we won’t hear until Friday.

@nova17am it affects it because that’s when they release decisions when they close. They’ve never released decisions while during office hours. I would assume because of the high volume of phone calls they would receive if so. It closes at 5 so you should expect to receive a decision at 5 or after. :slight_smile:

sadly i’m thinking they’re gonna release the decisions on friday

I’m giving 70% to Friday and 30% to today. I would love to know today, but I’m just happy to know period. I’m holding out for 6:30-7:00 time frame. The system has had issues getting emails out in previous years so, if it is at 6:30, we can give it a margin of error for everything to go through. I would personally would want to do it today if I were them so they don’t have to troubleshoot the issues, if there are some, with the system over the weekend.

Still haven’t heard anything, I guess we will (hopefully) hear on Friday.

Is there any reason why we wouldn’t hear tomorrow? Or why is everyone saying the alternative is Friday?

@chlowayway because the results have only been released on Wednesdays or Fridays, so we believe that the tradition would be kept and it will be Friday, but there could be a chance that it is tomorrow, but not as likely

I’m trying to set this aside until Friday at 5:00! Sending calm vibes to everyone.

If it is normally on the 1st Friday in December, it was probably a Wednesday last year because the 1st Friday was Dec 1, maybe that was too early but they didn’t want it to be the 2nd Friday? I would think they do it on a weekend to avoid tons of phone calls. By Monday, regardless of the news, people are likely to be more calm. Good luck to everyone!

OOOFFFFFF I’M STRESSING SO HARD. Chances anyone

1350 sat
3.98 gpa, not great class rank but beyond great ec‘s and great letters of rec/essays plus interview?

@Jtkgolf, sorry—I have a policy of not doing chances because I’m not in any position to know. But we all understand how stressful these days are! I think the best thing is to find something else to take your attention off this. The trailer for Avengers 4 is coming tomorrow if there’s any chance Avengers obsession will distract you!

Nahhh man, I’m a music kid? not a band geek, but I have a huge fascination for understanding and playing music. I play guitar, clarinet, piano, drums, lots of different stuff and I’m in AP Music Theory this year so I’m currently working on composing a piece that i’ve Pretty much just finished:) I also really enjoy musicals, so I’ve Been Prince Charming in Cinderella and Harold hill in the music man the last two years! @3SailAway

We love musicals, too. Recently, we got to see Dear Evan Hanson and The Band’s Visit. Two very different shows but both excellent. I like the Matthew Broderick version of The Music Man. He makes Harold Hill so likable. “We’ve got trouble, right here in River City” is a common quote in our family.

I think it’s amazing when people can compose music. Throw yourself into that and fingers crossed!

New post on the Admissions blog: Application Decisions & Reactions. Must be gearing up for something, though the last line says, “We can’t wait for admission decisions to come out. So best of luck in the upcoming few weeks and happy holidays!”. Weeks? Hmmm. https://wmblogs.wm.edu/transferambassador/application-decisions-reactions/

Last year they also updated the admissions blog the day before results came out. I have a feeling it will be Friday after all…

The new blog post is mainly aimed toward transfers and it was initially done by a tribe transfer! If admissions posted a blog post it would be by them, keep in mind a lot of other faculty and students run the admit it blog :slight_smile:

I’m definitely feeling like it will be tomorrow!
