Decisions, Decisions — Early Decision 2012 Edition
Admit It! The wait seemed like forever. The anxiety was building. The stress was mounting. The blog comments on the last post were ever increasing. But the moment is here. Decisions are being emailed as we speak (or technically as we type). As the day drew to a close all the stars aligned and we were able to get decisions released. Even a super storm couldn’t slow us down. Note that decisions will be released over the next several hours. It takes some time to get every email loaded and sent to the right applicant so please be patient. Tonight the Class of 2017 is starting to take shape. So here’s what you need and want to know.
And they’re out. Decisions are awaiting you in your in-boxes.
Notification logistics: Decisions are being sent by email tonight to all students who applied Early Decision and had completed their application. The email was sent only to the applicant and only to the email address provided in the Common Application. The email comes from the @wm.edu domain and the sender is College of William & Mary. If you do not see an email in your in-box please check your spam/junk folders as emails have a tendency to land there. If you still do not see an email from us, you are welcome to call our office on Monday. We will send another decision via email using a different email tool that evening, and we will send a hard copy of your decision letter via mail (only admitted students receive a hard copy of their decision letter; for all other students the letter is provided as the text of the decision email). We do not provide decisions over the phone.
Types of Decisions: There are three possible decisions an Early Decision applicant can receive: Admit, Defer, Deny. Each is discussed in more detail below. Please understand that we arrived at all of our decisions in the most thoughtful manner possible. As a result there is no appeal process for those not admitted. Every application was read at least twice, if not three times, by different members of our staff. Many applications were reviewed by our entire staff during our Committee process. The unfortunate part about applying to a highly-selective institution is that there are more qualified applicants than there are spaces available in an incoming class. Competition was definitely steep this year, anecdotally more so than in previous years. If you were not admitted, know that this decision in no way reflects negatively on your accomplishments. All of our applicants are amazingly bright and amazingly talented. We are incredibly fortunate and humbled to select our incoming class from the best of the best. Those not admitted are still among the best and brightest seniors in the country, and we were duly impressed by all that you have to offer.
Admit: Good Things are definitely in store for you. CONGRATULATIONS and welcome to the Class of 2017, William & Mary’s 320th class. We are excited about the diverse experiences and accomplishments you will bring to our campus next fall. More information is on its way to you by mail. In the meantime, check out the Welcome website (linked in your decision email), like the corresponding Facebook page and get EXCITED! You’re in!
Defer: First things first. We know that you had hoped for a more positive outcome. We understand just how much you want to attend William & Mary. Know that your application will be reviewed again during our Regular Decision process and you will receive another decision in April. That being said, we want you to understand that competition for admission offers will only increase as thousands of Regular Decision applications come in. Historically, it’s been a very small number of deferred applicants who have eventually been admitted. We encourage you to actively and enthusiastically pursue other college applications.
Deny: We know that no matter what we say, it won’t lessen the sting of not being admitted to your first choice university. You are absolutely entitled to be upset, to be mad, to be devastated and a million feelings in between. Again, know that this decision does not diminish the myriad of accomplishments you’ve achieved to date. It is simply a reflection of how accomplished our applicants are and how selective our process is. This is unfortunately a final decision for your freshman application; you will not receive another decision from us in the spring. But our loss is another college’s gain, and we wish you all the best as you pursue other applications for next fall.
So there you have it. The Early Decision process is in the books. We now look forward to Regular Decision, and you can look forward to more updates through this blog.
Wendy Livingston ’03, M.Ed. ‘09
Associate Dean of Admission
Comments are closed on posts older than one year, but we still want to hear from you. If you have a comment or question for us, please email admission@wm.edu.
Thank you everyone for your patience. We hope this blog provides all the information you need about ED decisions. We’re going to step away for a few hours to allow everyone a chance to review their decision and this blog. We will be back online later tonight to answer any pressing questions.
Looking forward to transfer decisions soon!
One last update, all decisions will have been sent (i.e. left our server) by 6:45pm. Again, they may take some time to get to your in-box but they will get there. Instructions are provided in the blog about checking spam folders if you don’t see it and what to do if somehow your email didn’t arrive.
Best of luck everyone and we look forward to further conversation!
I’m a member of the tribe
Proud new member of the Tribe. Couldn’t be happier (:
So excited to be part of The Tribe! Cannot wait until next fall!
New member of The Tribe!!! words cannot describe how excited I am 😀 thank you SO much for putting all the work into keeping us informed, and of course making the tough decisions 🙂 Can’t wait to be in Williamsburg!
Thank you for allowing me to be part of the Tribe! I have never been so happy in my life!
I’m so excited to be a member of the Tribe! Thank you all so much for your hard work and this wonderful opportunity to part of such an amazing community! I was wondering if we can go ahead and activate our ID or should we wait until we receive our package in the mail? Thanks again!
@Wondering, still a bit of ways to go until transfer decisions. That Committee began today. Updates from that process to come next week.
@Charles, @Vayda, @Kate, @Sara, @Happy and @Annie, congratulations and welcome to the Tribe! You earned it! Go to the welcome site and class Facebook page. Get to know your future alma mater and your futre classmates.
@Annie, yes you can go ahead and activate your account now if you wish.
So excited I can’t even. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Are the stats this year about the same as past year’s? 50 percent admitted, 30 percent deferred, and 20 percent denied?
We’re so excited for our daughter to attend William and Mary next Fall!
Holy what I actually got in?? I wasn’t expexting anything until next week or something. This is the best!
Hi Admit It!
I was deferred, which is of course disappointing, but I’m still in contention (and W&M remains my first choice).
As I’ll now be applying to a lot of other schools via the Common App, can I call Admissions to get some feedback on my application (i.e. to find out where I’m weakest)?
Also, if I wanted to retake the SATs in January (I believe they’re being offered on the 26th), will those scores be considered should I choose to send them in?
@Faith, @Proud Parent and @Trey, congratulations all around. Jobs well done. @Trey, we weren’t sure we would make the usual Dec. 1 release date but we all put the proverbial pedal to the metal and made it happen and glad we could get people decisions in a timely fashion.
@Anon, stats similar but not quite the same. A slightly lower admit rate. Haven’t yet calculated defer and deny rates but likely very close to last year’s stats.
@Caroline, generally with deferred students it’s not that there was any particular weakness. You were certainly competitive for admission. But in a pool full of competitive students like ours, some just stand out a bit more than others. Our best advice is to apply to at least some schools where you’re not only competitive but you’re superlative.
The January SAT should make it in time to be considered for Regular Decision but definitely alert your regional dean if you take it so we know to look out for it.
Yoohoo!!! Thank you so much W&M!!! Floating on air right now… thank you!
@Thrilled, you go right on ahead and float. Congrats!
AHHHH! SO excited to be a part of the Tribe!! I can’t believe how much all the work has paid off. Congrats to my fellow Class of 2017 🙂
@Lachlan, congrats! #wm2017
Soooooo excited to be accepted!!! Cannot wait to see what W&M has in store for me! 🙂
@Alexijul, way to go! Check out the welcome website to get a glimpse of what’s waiting for you in Williamsburg!
Proud new member of the Tribe 2017! Cant wait to fulfill what has been a life long dream of mine! Im so excited!
I’m so excited to be a part of the Tribe 2017!! I’ve wanted this for so long. I can hardly believe it’s actually happening!
Thank you so much for getting decisions to us so soon. Everyone in my school (and I do mean everyone) knows about my love of William and Mary. I have had a “decision countdown calender” in a total of five classrooms for the past few months. I may be devastated, but I was lucky enough to have our schools whole drama club around me for support when I received my admission decision. Now, all I have to rely on is the hope that my application will be seen in a different light during the long months ahead. Regardless of a delayed decision on my application, I still bleed green and gold. William and Mary is still by far my first choice. As an out-of-state student, am I at a greater disadvantage in the Early Decision Process or the Regular Decision process? Also, what percentage of differed out-of-state students are admitted in the spring? In addition what percentage of differed out of state students are admitted off the wait list? Again, thank you; and congratulations to the newest members of William and Mary’s Class of 2017!
@Ethan and Susannah, congrats to you both!
@Deferred, we appreciate your continued enthusiasm for W&M and we’re sorry the outcome couldn’t be more positive. To address your questions, as we mentioned in the blog, the competition will only become steeper during Regular Decision. Whereas the ED pool is about 1200 applicants, the RD pool is nearly 13,000. The ED pool is predominantly in-state applicants, the RD pool is majority out-of-state. A very small percentage of deferred students are eventually admitted at any point (during RD or off the waitlist)regardless of domicile. Holding out hope is fine but so is pursuing other options. Whatever the outcome come April we know you’ll have some great choices and opportunities.
Here’s to those admission officers who read through the essays and recommendation letters and made those hard decisions of who to allow into the Class of 2017. Thanks for your hard work and dedication to William and Mary.
Now all I can say is I got my email hours ago but am just way too excited to sleep! Cannot wait to officially bleed green and gold! So proud to be a Tribe member and part of the class of 2017!

Apparently so excited I posted it 5 times….
@Caitlin, you go ahead and post 5 times. It’s the social media equivalent of shouting from the rooftops. Congrats and thanks for your kind words.
As a parent who was concerned my daughter was on the border, I want to say how impressed I am with the William and Mary Admissions staff. It is clear to me, that a thorough read and consideration was given, and it was not a cookie cutter stat driven process at all. As a UVA grad, I will say I couldn’t be happier she is going to William and Mary!
I GOT IN! 😀 I can’t believe I’ll be going to William & Mary in the fall! Thank you so much Admissions Officers for taking the time to look over everyone’s application. I can’t thank you guys enough!
GO TRIBE
Hi! I was just wondering if all the e-mails have been sent, or if there are still some processing, because I can’t seem to find an e-mail in my inbox or spam… Thank you!!!
While disappointed in the defer I wonder being an out of state applicant what percentage of your ED admits are out of state and will the ED application help or hurt in the regular decision process? Is there anything one can or should do to help strengthen the application for the regular decision review? You say in another post that few defers are admitted during the regular decision can you give any indication or elaborate if it even possible (sounds like W&M rarely does admit defers in a previous post – or am I reading too much into it?) Thanks so much for all your patience and still hopeful for a spot in the class of 2017!
About how many applicants were deferred?
@Melissa and @Impressed Parent, congrats to you both and welcome to the Tribe family! It was our pleasure to read your applications and we are honored to select each of W&M’s incoming classes.
@Michelle, all emails were sent out last night by 6:30 give or take so you should have one. Did you get an email from us saying your application was complete? Do you use Yahoo or AOL?
@Disappointed, out-of-state students are a smaller porition of our ED pool and are always a smaller portion of our admits since we cannot have more than 35% of our students be out-of-state. Applying ED will not hurt at all in the RD process and you are welcome to update your file with any new pertinent information (first semester grades, new standardized testing, new high-level awards, etc.). It is possible to be admitted if deferred but it does not happen often because the competition for spots only increases as more students apply RD.
@Still Hopeful, about 30-35% of our ED pool is deferred.
yes, i did get the e-mail that said my app was complete, and I use yahoo
Just wanted to say that I’m incredibly impressed by how fast and professionally this was all done, especially given Sandy. Props to WM admissions!
Now to anxiously await my transfer decision! (I read above so I understand that it will be awhile. I’m very excited/nervous for the results.)
So is the sub-text “being deferred close to a deny” or do out-of-state students deferred in the ED process have the same chance of getting in as out-of-state students applying for the first time during RD?
Ok you say that the chances of being accepted after being deferred are very little, but do you have any past percentages that will build a better picture of a deferred students chances?
@Michelle, Yahoo is one of the email domains that often rejects our decision emails unfortunately (the application complete email is sent using a different method). Call our office on Monday andlet us know you didn’t get your email and we’ll resend it Monday night using a different email tool.
@Spring Transfer, thanks for the props and good luck to you on your spring transfer application.
@Disappointed in Deferrment, there’s no subtext. Your application had some great merits which is why you weren’t denied Early Decision. All we’re saying is that there’s going to be way more competition for spots during Regular Decision, especially among out-of-state applicants so deferred applicants should definitely definitely pursue other applications.
@Emily, the percentages vary from year to year based on the applicant pool and our enrollment goals. Generally, fewer than 10% of those applicants who are deferred are eventually admitted. We realize this isn’t a particularly optimistic stat and we know W&M was your first choice. Just make sure that you have great other options available to you in April in case it doesn’t work out with W&M.
We would like to tell you how impressed we have been with the admissions process, the information dissemination, and the amazing support and kindness you have shown not only to students accepted to your program, but also to any students who have shown interest in your school. The advice and support that you have provided for these very eager college bound students amazes us – and the amount of time you put forward to help these students find the right college truly blesses them before they have begun their collegiate adventure. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the time you took to get to know our son and for now offering him the opportunity to attend your outstanding school. He is excited beyond words and happiness abounds in our household today! GO TRIBE!
I want to ditto the comments from the parent who is a UVA grad from this morning. My husband and I I also both graduated from UVA, and while we will always bleed blue and orange, when we started exploring colleges for our daughter, it became evident that she is meant to bleed green and gold! We have been nothing but impressed by each visit we made to W &M, and by the helpfulness of the admissions staff. The admissions blog has been absolutely wonderful, and definitely helped my daughter a lot with her supplement essay. Thank you all for all you do, and this Wahoo is very happy tp have her daughter be a member of the Tribe!
@ Admit It
Thank you for your help. A part of the dream may be gone, but ten percent is still a chance. I will mobilize my backup plans for “We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand”. I will do anything possible to be part of the W&M tribe; and I will maintain hope. “There is never false hope,there is only hope”.
@Ben’s Mom and Dad and @Second Impressed Parent, we’re truly happy to be a resource for prospective students and their families. We’re very happy for your children and glad that the Tribe is becoming a part of your families.
@Disappointed in Deferrment, there is still a chance and not to dash hopes but we do want to emphasize that the chance is slim (often less than 10% as we said earlier). You attitude about playing your hand is a good one and remember, if things don’t work out with W&M, whatever college you pick will be awesome. The experience won’t be worse, just different.
I can’t believe I’m a member of the Class of 2017! I have been dreaming about this for SO long and am thrilled beyond reason! Can’t wait to be in CW in the fall! GO TRIBE!!
@Susannah H, you even have some of the W&M lingo down. Clearly you were meant to be a member of the Tribe!
Wow this is different I have always read the college discussion pages but this is the first time I have posted on one. Anyways, congrads to all the new Tribe members!!!! I am applying RD so I hope I can also become a part of the Tribe as well!!!!
Hi Everyone!!
I am a member of the class of 2016 and I cannot wait to welcome all of you next fall. You have joined one of the most amazing communities in existence. You will spend hours in swem, eat the delicacies of Sadler, Marketplace and the Caf and at times fear the squirrels. But you will make some awesome friends (hopefully including me) Congrats again and remember, you might not always hark, but when you do, it’ll be upon the gale.
Love,
RAE-Mischel
@Ebi Doubeni, good luck to you with your application.
@Rae Mischel, glad you’re enjoying your first semester on campus and thanks for joining the welcome bandwagon!
What is the average ratio of in state to out of state applicants?
@Admit It!
I was deferred. Not gonna lie, it hurts. My best friend was admitted and he is as happy as can be. I want that happiness along with him. Just like all the other deferred applicants, I want to be admitted. I was just wondering if the February 9th (too late for the December 8th ACT/was hoping I wouldn’t need to take it because I would have been admitted) would be able to be used in the RD? Congrats to everyone admitted, you will be great and hopefully I can be the odds and join you.
@Deferred, out-of-state applicants generally make-up about 60% of our pool give or take. They get 35% of our admission offers.
@Determined Deferred, a February standardized test is likely too far into our review process to be considered. A Janary test however should make it to us in time.
@Admit It! Can you give us some fun facts about some of the students admitted by ED?
@Admit It!
Thank you. Unfortunately, there is no January ACT. Just out of curiosity, what average ACT score are you all looking for/what was the average for the admitted ed applicants?
I know transfer decisions are still a ways off; I am hoping to transfer as a 2nd semester 2nd year. I also know that credits are evaluated after matriculation. What would happen if for some reason credits from another highly ranked Virginia school were not accepted at W&M? Would I be able to take an extra semester to finish the credits?
Congrats Class of 2017! I can’t wait to see you when I do my interview in four years!
Quick question- if I said that I planned to apply for financial aid on the Common App, do I have to? Will I be penalized if I do not submit the FAFSA profile? Thanks!
Yay! I made it into the Tribe! I’m too excited for words! 🙂
My parents are buying me a laptop for Christmas. Which would be better for a rising freshman: a Mac or a PC?
@Determined Deferred, isn’t there a January SAT thought? Our middle 50% range for the ACT is 28-32.
@Wondring, if you need to you can spend an extra semester on campus (or take some summer classes if they’re offered in the classes you need). Generally, as long as there’s a relative equivalent course a W&M you’ll get credit for the courses you’ve taken.
@What you mark on the Common App for that question doesn’t matter to W&M. It might to other colleges but not to us. If you mark it and don’t apply that’s fine. If you don’t mark it and do apply that’s also fine.
@Sam, congrats on your admision. Definitely a good question to post on the class Facebook page. Also, might be worth contacting W&M’s IT Department (which works with PCs) and the Tribe Computer Store (Macs) to see what’s offered.
@Admit It!
There is a January SAT. To be honest, SAT isn’t my strongest out of the two options. Do you recommend taking the ACT in February and submitting it to W&M in the hopes that I will have an incredibly high score or (I know you mentioned it being too late in the decision process) should I just not bother with taking it in February? Thank you so much for answering my questions.
@Determined Deferred, our best guess is that Februrary’s ACT would not be a good use of your time. The results wouldn’t get to us until it’s likely too late. The January SAT is likely th only remaining test whose results would be able to be considered.
How many students were admitted ED and how many applicants?
First of all, thanks so much for working hard to get the decisions out so quickly! I have one question though. I’ve read that sometimes, because of a computer glitch, admit emails are sent to students that are actually deferred or denied. Is there a chance that this happened? I just want to make sure I’m actually in! Thanks so much!
Hi, quick question @Admit It!
When a deferred application is reviewed again in the RD pool, are the reviewers specifically aware that the application is a deferral? Will this hurt an applicant or prejudice a reviewers thoughts about the applicant? Essentially, will deferral be acknowledged or considered in the RD pool?
Also, will the same Admissions Officers’, who cover specific areas, also be covering these same areas in the spring? I.e. Will the same person be reviewing my application for RD? ( I was deferred till RD) And can we resubmit a new essay?
@Jacob, we had just under 1200 ED applications and the admit rate was about 45%.
@Ashley, you are in! Celebrate. No computer glitches here. Everyone got the email they should have.
@deferred but not done, yes we are aware durin RD that you applied ED and were deferred. That doesn’t work against you or anything but we are aware.
@hopeful, we don’t review regionally during ED. There simply isn’t enough time. We read ED applications as they become available and then provide regional context during Committee when we’re all together For RD, we do read regionally and the regional dean for your area will review your ED application in the spring. You should not rewrite your essay or submit a new one. The only thing you should do is update your file with any new pertinent/substantive information (mid-year grades, new standardized test scores, etc.)
Thank you so much to everyone on the W&M Admission team. It was unbelievable to read “Welcome to the Tribe!” Totally awesome and thrilling…felt numb from excitement all weekend.
I just wanted to thank Henry, Wendy, and all of the other admissions officers who worked endlessly throughout the month of November. You’re amazing! I cannot wait to spend the next four years of my life at William & Mary. I am already having urges to lock myself away in Swem(?!) Words can’t describe what it feels like to be part of a family that extends back 320 years – thank you again!
@thisisit and @Jason F., no thanks necessary but it is appreciated. Your joy is all the thanks we need. Congrats!
I’m counting down the days until August! So unbelievably pumped to be a member of the class of 2017; I miss the town so much I’m coming down to CW this weekend to see my sister and celebrate!!
@Beth Katz, glad your son is keeping the family tradition alive and well! Congrats on his admission.
@Sean C, congrats and welcome to the Tribe! Enjoy your time on campus this weekend.
Hi! I was denied admission 🙁 Is it alright for me to call and ask why I was turned down?
@Denied, sorry to hear that you were denied. You are welcome to call and inquire but know there’s never one reason why any student was admitted or denied. We look holistically at so many factors and then compare the merits of one applicant to those of our entire pool. Our pool is incredibly competitive (80% graduate in the top 10% of thei class, most students take calculus/physics/fourth level or higher of a foreign language, 75% score about a 1250 Critical Reading + Math) which means tha some great students aren’t admitted not because they did anything wrong but because other students simply did so much right.
Hi! I got into the Tribe for 2017 and was wondering when packets will be sent out? I know a few of my friends have received their packets. Also are there any steps we should be taking if we haven’t received our packets?
Thank you! I am so happy to be included in the class of 2017!!!
Hi! I did not receive my email on the 30th. I have received all previous confirmation emails, however. On Monday I called and someone took down my name, number, and application 903 #. Monday night I did not get the decision email. I called on Tuesday and yet again gave the information, the woman on the phone said I would receive the email by 5 that day. I did not receive the email. Nothing is in my spam or any other email address I have. Also, I am receiving emails from @wm.edu.
Please, help! At this point I would just like to know the decision so I can move on.
Isabel
@Marie, congratulations. The packets were mailed on Friday so you should get it any day. It’s also replicated on the admitted student site (linked in your email). If you don’t get your packet by this Friday you can let us know but it should come by then.
@Isabel, we apologize for the frustration but it sounds like your email is simply rejecting our emails as we would have tried to send it agan. We send the decision emails using a different tool than the other emails we send. However, a hard copy of your decision was also put in the mail Monday and should likely arrive soon. We do that to ensure you get a decision in case the email won’t go through. This happens in a few cases unfortunately and we do apologize but it’s beyond our control. We appreciate your patience and no doubt the mailed decision we sent Monday will arrive any day.
Hello, I was wondering when our midyear grades are due?
@accepted2017, congrats! Midyear grades are due whenever they become available.
Thank you for responding so quickly! Should I call again today? I could maybe give a different email. I will be waiting for the paper decision.
@Isabel, no need to call again today. It seems our emails are just at an impass. We won’t send to a different email. We just have no way to authenticate that a different email is sent to you and we need to protect each applicant’s confidentiality above all else. We did put a paper copy in the mail. Given that you live on the East coast, it shouldn’t take but a few days to reach you. Thank you again for your patience.
For deferred candidates, I see that you will accept new SAT scores up to the end of January 2013 as part of the Regular Decision review, as well as updates of accomplishments on the Common App. Will you also accept a new essay resubmitted through the common app for the Regular Decision review?
@Deferred but Hopeful, we do not recommend writing a new essay. You’ve already spent a lot of time and energy doing that and a new essay will not make or break a decision. You can send a statement of continued interest if you’d like.
If we got accepted ED, do we have to send in mid year grades?
Thank you for that insight! Can you elaborate on what a statement of continued interest is, what it would consist of, length, and so forth?
@Megan, ED admits have to send in mid-year and final grades. Remember, your offer of admission is contingent upon continuing to meet high standards of academic performance, personal conduct and completion of all work in progress. We can monitor your progress through your mid-year and final transcripts.
@Deferred but Hopeful, generally this statement is fairly brief (maybe 1/2-3/4 of a page). It can reitterate why you remain interested in W&M and might also include any infomation that wasn’t included in your original application that you feel is pertinent for the Committee to know.
@ Rae-Mischel you are my favorite person!
So, I was deferred from William and Mary, and although it remains my first choice I have to ask: is it still legally binding that if I am admitted in the Spring will I still be required to attend? I’m just wondering and trying to figure out my options
@Marie, it’s only binding if you’re admitted during ED. If you’re admitted as a deferred student it is not binding.
Hi,
I was wondering what the splits were for in-state and out of state for those accepted ED?
@Sean, we don’t calculate those stats because they would likely be very misleading. Our ED applicant pool is very heavily in-state which is not reflective of the overall applicant pool which will actually be 60% or more out-of-state by the time all is said and done.
We rsvp’d and posted deposit but have not received the email back to set up my wm acct. are they still being processed?
@John, how did you pay your deposit? If you paid it online, you would have received an immediate confirmation. The email about your W&M email would come probably 2-3 days after that. If you sent it by mail allow at least a week. You are always welcome to call us and ensure we have received your deposit.
got it, thanks, have a great holiday- you’ve earned it!
