Hearing about a lot of deferrels

I think they are really big on fit. So visiting and interacting is much more indicative of fit than merely applying ED based on stats and paper. But yes, ED is the ultimate DI.

Sorry that your wait will be longer, but I hope you get good news with the next notification. I'm no AO, but I think this sounds like a good strategy. I don't think it ever hurts (particularly at a school like WM) to express continued interest. They really do want kids who want to be there, and you never know what might tip the scales. Good luck!

I think W&M said something like 40% test optional. They also really like ED-ers. Their slogan is “those who come here, belong here” or something like that.

Mine didn’t ED there but it’s a great school, and I’m hoping the parents of the kids who both submitted an application and reads these posts got good news!

How wonderful for the remainder of the senior year for these students!!

Congratulations to all the new members of the Tribe! I have two kids there and they absolutely love it!
