What is “likely admitted?”
From what I understand, Wm & Mary has a tradition of sending out postcards ahead of the formal RD decision date to indicate likely admissions for some students - that is the Cypher postcard. It isn’t a formal offer, but an indication that a student will probably be admitted.
