[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it possible to have a spring start offer changed to a regular fall start offer?[/quote]
My understanding is that anyone who remains on the waitlist automatically has this spring start offer on the table, but the list still functions as a waitlist and you can therefore be offered fall admission just like you could from any waitlist. If it happens after you’ve paid a deposit for the approved study abroad program for the fall, the school reimburses you for the deposit. [/quote]

My guess is very, very few would come off the spring start list (who already accepted and paid) but rather most would come from spring start unaccepted offers, saying now they can start in the fall in Williamsburg. [/quote]

In thinking about this: This seems so unfair to me. A student who loves the school enough to even accept spring start is less likely to get a new offer for a fall start over a student who was offered spring start and did not accept it. [/quote]

I don't have any intel as to the real answer here, but W&M says that indicating interest in Spring Pathway does not affect potential waitlist offers, and from the parent Spring Pathway FB boards, several kids did get off the waitlist last year who had already committed to Spring Pathway.[/quote]

+1  All signs point to there being zero impact on WL offers based on whether or not you accept Spring Pathway.  If they say it doesn't affect it, then they likely have a process where that information is kept separate from the formation of the WL ordering.[/quote]

The [b]only way to know[/b] is to see how many were offered a fall spot who had committed to a spring start and how many got a fall admit who hadn’t.[/quote]

Whatever a school says about its admissions policy is auditable by accrediting body and by SCHEV.   W&M never has a problem filling a class so there's no real benefit/pressure to maximize here--it would be a miniscule if any reward for a high risk.[/quote]
