William and Mary Transfer Fall 2019

@illiteratemoron I have faith in you, you will get into at least one great school- hopefully W&M will be the one!

@limitdoesnotexist1 SAME!!!

@limitdoesnotexist1 thank u for that. I really wanna go to W&M, but if I don’t get in, i’m gonna go to jmu, which my parents really don’t understand bc of some kids of “prestige” + not wanting to xfer to Richmond. Hope this goes well.

@illiteratemoron JMU is also great! Also, after I visited W&M for a transfer event, I wrote a thank you email to the transfer admissions team for making me feel as if I were already a student at W&M. Letting them know how much you love the school will help them remember your name!

Congratulations!!

I don’t want to intrude but just coming from experience and very close friends of mine that go to JMU, Its pretty much the opposite of W&M, and if you are the type of personality to thrive at WM, unless you can truly be comfortable and happy anywhere, I wouldn’t recommend jmu.

Lol yeah JMU is JMU but Richmond costs the same amount as where I’m at and isn’t any better which kind of negates the point of transferring, and JMU has a better history program than CNU, and since I really would like to leave where I’m at, it’s my backup option for when W&M and UVA don’t come through

Ah I gotcha! Well a change of scenery is always great and you could meet amazing people no matter where you are. Best of luck wherever you end up!

postcards?

@limitdoesnotexist1 which transfer event did you go to? In January?

@letmeinmeme March 22nd! I knew I wanted to go there before I visited but the visit really reinforced everything I love about W&M

@limitdoesnotexist1 O i went to the transfer event in January when it was cold asf

got my postcard today! in shock and so excited.

Does anyone have any ideas/ clues on how to find roommates as transfer students? We have such a disadvantage of not being able to enter fb pages or housing apps because we don’t’ have WM emails yet! ugh! Hopefully i share this frustration haha. best of luck to everybody.

@positivevibes I think there will be a fb page once we are all officially accepted. We get access to housing apps when we deposit. Congrats on the postcard! Super excited to see you on campus!

Got a postcard in MN!!! HUGE relief and will probably go :slight_smile:

Congratulations!!! See you there maybe?? :slight_smile:

@positivevibes I’m 99.99% certain I’ll be attending! I think there’s going to be an enrolling transfer day in June for all of the transfers to meet

Great, another 5 hours of driving in one day ? from nova

@illiteratemoron OMG I’M SO HAPPY YOU GOT THE POSTCARD!!! I’m super excited that you’ll most likely go!
