***William and Mary ED/RD Class of 2021 Discussion***

I heard that the decision for waitlist is around June
How is it possible if the decision NEED to be made for college is may 1?

@Tikimoon You just put your deposit down at another school and wait it out! :slight_smile:

@tcw11 Ours has that as well… but people tend to take a lot more APs… for example, I am going to be done with 12 APs by the end of my senior year.

I’ve also taken 10 class at my community college, which count as 0.5 credits on my transcript.

@Chips99 but if you deposit money for other school you must go there tho you can’t change your decision
I am so confused

@Tikimoon nope - https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/get-in/making-a-decision/what-to-do-if-youre-wait-listed

Accepted oos
35 ACT, 4.6 GPA, 9 AP Classes

@exoheat11

I’ve taken 12 also, but how do people have 4.98 weighted?

If you were selected as a Monroe Scholar, do they tell you in the email or in the physical mail?

Accepted. OOS. 1470 new SAT. 4.3 GPA. 10 AP’s and decent extracurriculars.

Daughter was waitlisted
OOS
ACT32
UW GPA 4

when we first visited over the summer she really liked it, but over the past few months, she had many EA acceptances and the long wait until today to hear back from W & M has allowed her to possibly fall out of love with W&M. wish they had responded earlier. no worries.

She will not remain on Wait list to hopefully increase the odds of someone who truly wishes to attend to be allowed off the list.

Good luck to all wherever you chose to call home over the next 4 years.

Accepted in state.

But congratulations to everyone else that was accepted! The best of luck to you.

@tcw111 some schools skew the GPA, like I know some schools near my area do that. They take only, say, the top 20 classes (like a person may have gotten all A’s) plus the honors classes.

@tcw111 only the classes the students have gotten all A’s in

Does anyone know when Joint Degree stuff will come? Accepted oos, 3.97gpa and 32 act

Congratulations to all who have been accepted and best of luck to everyone. I am thrilled to find out this afternoon that my DD has been accepted to W&M. She is OOS from Texas, 1450 SAT, 3.85 UW GPA (school only goes up to about 4.4 scale), school does not rank but somewhere around 11%, give or take. This has been my #1 choice for her since the day we visited almost 2 years ago. Kind of like the 3 bears — the fit was just right. I lived in VA for 5 years and am excited that my DD will now live there for at least 4. I just can’t say enough wonderful things about W&M & how welcoming they were when we toured. Go Tribe!

D was Accepted. 1500 SAT and 3.7 GPA. OOS.

Is anyone able to see their financial aid award?

Congrats to those accepted and best wishes to everyone!
