They send to about 25% of the RD admits, usually equivalent to fewer than 7% of the applicant pool. You have to be tops to get one. They are already out or at least the first wave is. They come in waves over 2-3 weeks starting around Feb1.

Any cypher's in the DMV?

Nothing to add. Just wanted to thank this board for the information. Now, we wait....

The board of visitors last week was informed that applications increased by about 3.5% this year, with even more dramatic increases in ED1 (7%) and ED2 (17%). They are probably running a bit behind this year with all of the additional deferrals in the RD pool so I wouldn't stress too much.

Thanks for the heads up! My kid here is trying to wait patiently!

Our kid got one in 2023. I thought it was very cool.

Good luck. W&M was my son's first college tour and it was the metric by which he measured every other school. He did not get in as a Freshman but applied as a transfer, and got in as a Sophomore. He's about as happy as one can get there. Perfect fit for him.

DD is still waiting for her decision but was looking through the class of 2030 commits account and was surprised by how sporty/preppy/Greek interested all of the admitted students seemed to be - it seemed like almost every single person was either planning to rush or big on going out or into playing 3-4 sports. It wasn't what we were expecting based on what we read on here.

What a lot of posters want you to believe William and Mary is vs the reality of how it is is very different in my opinion. Students are smart and do work hard, but they are very involved in campus life from typical things like Greek life to very niche interests.

PP: I was expecting there to definitely be somewhat of a gap but DD and I felt like this could have easily been UVA or Wake's commits page. We scrolled back to look at last year's posts and it felt like there was a difference in the "types" of students posting just between the two years. But I guess only early decision isn't a lot to go off of. Was just mildly surprised.
