I'm begining to feel as if all of us who haven't received a decision are rejects.

IDK if some rejections went out today and we weren't part of them, we still have a chance. Keep your head up! I'm sure all of us have other great options even if Bill and Mar don't accept us.

[clwilson6]

Not looking to make anyone lose hope but I was also rejected today via e-mail. Good luck to everyone else.

[braudelaire]

Judging from last year, all the DP's are toast once the rejections start going out...including myself

welllll the first wave of rejections has commenced....and those without a reject letter I can assume are still in the game

I'm still skeptical. This would be my only YP rejection. And seeing as I haven't been YP'ed anywhere, I like to think that it won't happen at all. Still holding out hope.

This is odd because they responded to me within 10 days. W&M and Emory were far and away the fastest to respond of all of my apps.

I guess the game isn't over yet.

It'll be nice to have everything done.

Dude read the past 70 some pages....

I don't believe in YP, esp. from W&M. Some schools just feel funny about certain people. It's happened to me, and everyone else, and it's not YP.

[mcashia]

what does YP mean?

It would be the first so far for me. I guess I could count Fordham, seeing as all their peer schools accepted me and with great scholarship offers, but Fordham seems to be waitlisting anyone and everyone this year, so I don't think its just me. Very curious to find out about W&M.

what does YP mean?

Yield Protecting. Not accepting someone or wait listing someone based on too high of numbers for their school to protect their acceptances coming in rate.

[dakatz]

what does YP mean?

When a school rejects or waitlists someone who they think will be accepted to far better schools, and will clearly end up going to one of those schools. They do this in order to increase their selectivity, without cutting into the applicant pool that they see as realistic candidates to come to the school.

No thanks.

[mcashia]

Has anyone been accepted today, or are they just now begining to write the reject letters?

[insertclevernamehere]

Small sigh of relief that I made it past the first wave of cuts (sorry to those who didn't -- I've definitely been there with other schools) but I have a sneaking suspicion this was just to lull me into a false sense of security.

The next week is going to be tense!

Ducking and weaving!!!

Per the W&M status checker website:

"In the William & Mary Law School admission process, initial review occurs as files become complete. The majority of decisions will be finalized during the month of March following the application deadline date when the competition in the applicant pool is known and assessed. We anticipate decisions for all applicants will be sent no later than March 24. Applicants will receive earlier notification if a decision has been finalized."

At least we only have to wait until Wednesday. Good luck to everyone still waiting!

[ryguy]

Has anyone been accepted today, or are they just now begining to write the reject letters?

I was wondering that as well.

[akili]

I can't believe I have survived. I think I'm dead meat though...

[mcashia]

do they only post updates once per day?

[ryguy]

do they only post updates once per day?

Unsure of ANY thing with W&M, sadly. Just still DP 1/7.

[jlnoa0915]

Didn't survive; W&M gave me the wait list.

Edit: Via email; status checker still said DP

[cendien]

Just got waitlisted via email about 30 seconds ago! Oh well.

[phoenix323]

Just got a waitlist e-mail from W&M, like 10 seconds ago. Relieved to have avoided the ding.

Good luck to all still waiting!
