William & Mary Class of 2019 ED Applicants Discussion

<p>Admit It! December 3, 2014
@L, we don’t have particular preferences on the day of release. We certainly have released decisions on a Friday many times but we’ve also released decisions on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in recent years.

<p>“We will send out decisions as soon as we are able! We appreciate your patience over the next few days. Hang in there!”</p>

<p>I should probably stop overanalyzing every word they post online hahaha but this makes me feel like they won’t release until next week.</p>

<p>I’m really hoping it comes out today or tomorrow. I just can’t wait untill next week! Maybe someone could call and confirm? </p>

<p>@gladly That would be a waste of our time and theirs. They won’t give us a definite date ahead of time in case the date doesn’t work out. We’ll know when they tell us. </p>

<p>"@Hi, in responding to @Anxious’ post we mentioned we still need a bit more time. As we’ve mentioned in response to a few previous posters, so that people aren’t staying up ’til the wee hours checking, if you don’t see a Decisions blog post from us by say 8:00-ish it’s fair to stop checking for that evening."</p>

<p>Thanks for keeping us in the loop guys! Also @ribbonroad224‌ I thought I was the only one reading something into every blog post and comment, but I guess not ;)</p>

<p>Emotional pattern: </p>

<p>Oct 2014 - I love W&M and I can get in! Let’s apply!
Early Nov 2014 - <em>Applies</em> Now I can relax!
Mid Nov 2014 - <em>Forgets about whole thing</em>
Lat Nov 2014 - <em>Panics and can’t stop going on college data and college confidential</em>
Dec 1, 2014 - Believes a rejection is inevitable…but still refreshes various pages every minute
Dec 2, 2014 - Super anxious…thinks results will come out at 5 PM
Today - Already has accepted defeat and wants to get on with the show to see whether or not other recommenders need to be asked </p>

<p>YES!</p>

<p>“Wants get on on with show to see if other recommended need to be asked”… and other essays written… and other housing deposits submitted</p>

<p>Just out of curiosity, anyone else an IB student? </p>

<p>@Camden997 Yup (IB diploma candidate)</p>

<p>I’m now predicting friday :D</p>

<p>I’m now predicting December 9 :wink: </p>

<p>I’m gonna go with Friday 5pm</p>

<p>ED announcement + Friday, Dec 5th = (?) Happy Birthday! Saturday, Dec 6th</p>

<p>I wish they didn’t basically tell you the decision in the subject line in the email its kind of anxiety inducing :frowning: </p>

<p>I’m freaking out everyday :frowning: </p>

<p>@KLBAER your birthday is on Saturday? :o</p>

<p>I honestly wonder what is taking them longer this year than in past years when they released on Dec. 1 (I know they released on Dec. 6 last year but that was with a one week extension for applicants). I do feel a bit bad for admissions officers for constantly having to answer “When will decisions be out?” on their blog & twitter haha.</p>

<p>People NEED to stop commenting about that… honestly…</p>
