Decisions, Decisions – #wm2020 (aka 2016 Regular Decision Admit Edition)

We Admit It! You are the few, the proud, the phenomenally talented students who have earned admission to the College of William & Mary. You were selected from nearly 15,000 applicants, all of whom were fantastic and talented individuals. In short, you are the best of the best. Yes, “Good Things” means what you think it means. You are IN. Congratulations on this fantastic accomplishment. It is our absolute pleasure to welcome you to the Class of 2020.

We use the term “earned” above because this accomplishment was exactly that: earned. You have spent countless hours challenging yourself in the classroom, intently studying for standardized tests and pushing yourself in your various involvements. All of this hard work has culminated in an admission offer, and we can’t wait to see what new heights you might achieve as a member of the Tribe.

Over the next few weeks the final step of your college search will begin: deciding where to spend the next four years of your life. While we will readily admit that we’re a bit biased, we think that William & Mary is a fantastic place to continue your educational journey. Just as it was when deciding where to apply, visiting schools is perhaps the best way to determine where to enroll and spend your next four years. As such, we have many exciting admitted student events taking place on campus in April. Our Day for Admitted Students will take place on April 16, and will feature students, faculty and staff from across campus who are all excited to welcome you to Williamsburg and show you all that W&M has to offer. If you cannot make it to our Day for Admitted Students, you are also welcome to attend one of our myWM Monday events on either April 11, April 18 or April 25. Each of these campus events will provide you with an inside look at the William & Mary undergraduate experience.

We also encourage you to explore the Welcome website (linked in your decision email), the #wm2020 tagboard, the Crim Tell Facebook page run by some of our student volunteers and the Class of 2020 Facebook group. All of these online resources are meant to help you learn more about our university, and to get you excited about potentially making Williamsburg your home.

For tonight (and likely the next several nights) you should take some time to celebrate with your family and friends. It’s been a long journey, but you can finally bask in the light at the end of the tunnel. We are dancing and celebrating and hope that you’re doing the same. We think that you would make a wonderful addition to the William & Mary community, and are eager for you to explore all that William & Mary has to offer.
