William & Mary Class of 2020 ED Applicants Discussion

do you think they’ll do a “decisions, decisions” post?

Yes. they release a “decisions, decisions” blog at the end of every application cycle. It will contain information for accepted, deferred, and denied students alike. The appearance of the blog will indicate that emails are being sent out. If I were you guys, I would be checking the blog rather than your emails, that way you can make sure your’e mentally prepared (it is strongly advised that you open your email at home, and don’t forget that the email subject line will give away the decision). This is such an exciting, scary time. I hope everyone is holding up okay!

I’m so nervous but trying to remain calm. I refuse to check my email at school out of fear that I’ll found out the news when I’m not with my family! Can’t wait to hear about everyone else’s decisions. Hoping & praying for all of us :slight_smile:

Excited, nervous, but ultimately just wanting to know where I’ll end up. I want W+M, obviously, as I applied ED. But we also have to remember that statistically less than half of us will be accepted- we must be willing to move on to other things if need be. My cousin was heartbroken he didn’t get into Princeton, but he then made it into MIT and now works for Apple, designing the home button. Closed doors just bring the opportunity for new doors to open- let’s all keep that in mind:) good luck to you all!

I can’t help but refresh my email every few mins as well as the william and mary blog but they have said in the comments section of the blog that they are on schedule to release decisions by the end of the week! I am so nervous and excited, good luck to you all!

@speekclearly, that is a very good way of thinking about it. @tweetiebird, I feel you. Just try to keep preoccupied. You’ll work yourself up if you keep checking!
Sending positive vibes to you all!

It’s so close! My friend and I are planning to wear something green every day this week for good luck. Hope it works!

Right back at ya!! @kvanderz

FYI - they just said on the comments section of the blog that by the end of the week they mean SUNDAY and not FRIDAY. So, we could be waiting over the weekend, unfortunately :-/ :open_mouth:
I’ll be out of town all weekend and won’t be able to check until sunday night!!! I really hope they send everything out by Friday or on Friday night even.

@juju98 Aw, that’s too bad.
I rather it be the weekend, I’m way more likely to be home and I will be able to cry/celebrate in peace.

Apparently this year they will be releasing transfer decisions later than ED. :confused: I guess I can relax for now… I hope you guys hear soon though. Don’t forget to post your result on CC! And feel free to PM me if you’re deferred/ denied and want to talk about it :slight_smile:

I get so nervous reading all the blog comments…I should start wearing green everyday for good luck too!

“As of today, we are planning to send decision emails out by this Sunday (12/6) evening.” via the blog.
@kvanderz that’s weird, did they give any reason as to why not the same time?

They didn’t. It’s alright though, I’ve waited before. I think it will be earlier on in the week since there are fewer transfers than ED kids - it won’t take as long to process all of us. I’d just like to know soon so that I can plan for next semester accordingly…

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m going to learn how to knit. Who wants a scarf?

@kvanderz I do! I’m really nervous because I have a MUN conference Saturday so if I get bad news on Friday then I’m gonna be a mess. But if it comes on Saturday, I’ll have to turn off my phone because it pops up email notifications with the subject line. And I refuse to scream or cry on the bus. I reserve the right to cry on my floor in peace or to celebrate with readily available ice cream at home.

(Who am I kidding? That ice cream is getting eaten either way.)

@Hockeygirl58 that’s the spirit! You’re very smart to turn off email notifications. I think you’ll be hearing sooner than Saturday, so have that icecream spoon ready! Good luck at MUN! I’ll get to work on your scarf - green and gold okay?

do you guys think decisions will be sent out tomorrow evening because over the last few years they have been sent out on the first friday and they have never been sent out on a weekend?

I think so. I think they would want two extra days in case something went wrong and they had to fix it.

I’m so excited! @kvanderz perfect :slight_smile:
