My daughter and a friend heard from University of Massachusetts at Amherst (Early Action) yesterday. First acceptance, so it’s a relief to know she’s in somewhere.

That is pretty high. The kid really prefers WM over UVA?


Never thought twice about UVA. W&M is a better size for her and less of an Old South / Greek feel.

(It think the W&M middle 50 SAT last year was around 1440.)


Not the PP, but my DD liked both schools a lot, but ultimately preferred W&M and it was a little more in range for her stats.


Yeah, my kid preferred W&M and refused to apply to UVA last year. 4.35 W, 1490 SAT

+1

My kid did ED for W&M--all other top choices were private SLACs. Would have applied to UVA RD as a back-up financial option if W&M didn't work out. Competitive for both:4.4 W, 1440 SAT, National awards in interest area. Fortunately W&M worked out as the SLACs would have cost a lot more!

Congratulations! The first acceptance is awesome and is so stress-relieving.


Yes, DC's first acceptance was from a school he saw as a total safety (hoped was!). I assumed he would be blasé but he clearly was thrilled, especially when they offered him a large merit package. He doesn't need it, but he clearly appreciated the affirmation.

Good luck to everyone who is still waiting to hear, especially from EDs!

Everyone I know who has visited or attended IU has loved it! Congrats!


I am a previous poster whose son heard last night. We are thrilled about it!
