[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two colleagues with kids who did the spring admit this year at W&M. My DD was an ED admit and started in the fall; the other two girls spent the fall in London and had a lot more fun! They met several other spring admit kids so they had friends going into this semester.

It's a bit of an adjustment in the spring for sure but they are also coming in at a time when the initial fall freshman friend groups are getting a little stale and kids are looking to branch out from their dorm friends (or at least my kid is!) and are excited to meet new people. I think it's a great program. Much better than leaving kids on the WL for months in limbo![/quote]

I'm the PP who posted this. DD has a friend who is a spring admit and I asked her about housing. She said there is a floor in one of the dorms that is all transfer students. Some are upperclassmen, but most are spring admits. Her friend was placed with another spring admit kid. The PP who said spring admits are placed with fall admit freshman was not correct, though I suppose that could happen if a fall kid doesn't return in the spring. But most will get a spring admit roommate.

Hope that helps someone! If W&M is the top choice, I think it's a great option. Would definitely choose a semester abroad over a year at UVA Wise, which is like in the middle of nowhere, right?[/quote]
