But my older dc several years ago got into WM but never got the postcard. I remember stressing about it bc he had a friend who did receive it. So don't despair.

Yes! Especially for MCPS student. Wondering if my DD has a shot RD next year.

I have never heard of a cipher card not resulting in an official admittance letter.

Yes, again, it's not an indicator of anything other than they are in a likely pool of admits. My kid was a Monroe Scholar and had two friends receive them, they thought they were out and there it is regular decision.

No worries. Only about 25% get one and it means nothing in regard to scholarships. DD didn't get one but was admitted RD last year.

Good Luck to you all.

Well, that didn’t help at all.

I kind of hate this. I’d rather just have them say yes or no. A cryptic postcard for a few people is just stressful.

I think it's a little odd too. But, gotta say, my goddaughter graduated from W&M last year and loved it.

W&M is "quirky." It's one of the fun things about them.
