I've been decision pending since 11/6.

Does anyone know whether they send the admit package to our mailing or permanent address?

They send it to the address you have listed as your current address, or at least that is what they did for me.

Ugh, funnily enough I'm not currently at my current address... Okay, cool. Thanks.

Anybody from the second batch get their admit packets yet? The mail just came and still no packet! And I only live in Northern VA, I didn't think it'd take more than 2 days...

Hey all!

So, here is what my status checker currently says:

Current Status: Application ready for review
Current Status Date: 11/17/2009
Decision Status: Decision Pending
Decision Status Date: 11/19/2009

I guess this really means nothing doesn't it, lol??

I have not gotten it yet - I live on the east coast and my school's post office doesn't get mail on weekends, so I guess I will be anticipating it on Monday.

Not sure. I never got that status - it went straight from ARFR to Congratulations.

The first wave got theirs on a Saturday. Perhaps they didn't mail them until yesterday?

I'm assuming that's the case, since I got the Congrats message at about 3:30 mountain time, so 5:30 eastern - and as far as I know mail doesn't go out that late.

Uggh still at decision pending 11/10 163/3.65 good softs (and I'm partially blind). When I visited the Dean she said I was a strong candidate, but looking at everybody else's numbers who got in, it looks like I'm a reject...

texaspecial88 · Post by **texaspecial88** » Fri Nov 20, 2009 4:16 pm

why do you think "decision pending" means reject?

mine is decision pending as well btw...

It's far too early to worry about being a reject yet. FWIW I'm 169/3.91 and still at DP 11/2.

Keep your chin up, they've really barely started.

We can hope all we want, but last year (and this is pulled from LSN, so consider the sample size) all September applicants who hadn't heard by the end of November were Waitlisted/Rejected *in March*. The October applicants likewise all heard by the end of November - (the latest was Dec. 1st). The rest of the October applicants? Waitlisted or Rejected in March. Of the November applicants, the bulk of these acceptances went out by the end of December, with some scattered in January.

It seems clear that W&M plows through their applicants methodically. And the date matters. Sept applicant --> hear back by end of November or --> tantamount to Waitlist/Rejected. Oct. applicant --> hear back by end of December or --> Waitlist/Rejected.

So, for those of us early applicants, the longer we wait is news in and of itself. For me, I'm writing W&M off if I don't hear by the end of November. From what I can tell from last year's cycle there's one more batch to go -- here's hoping we're in it!

Has anyone who was admitted also received their snail mail supplements? Anyone get the grad fellowship package?

UFMatt · Post by **UFMatt** » Sat Nov 21, 2009 2:22 pm

Acceptance package arrived in the mail today! I'm in Florida, so I'd imagine most in the eastern US should get theirs too. It includes scholarship info.

Wow, then I really hope I'm in the next group of acceptances. I checked on LSN for URM's with my numbers or above and in the past 5 years, 9 were accepted, and 1 was waitlisted in what looks like yield protection. So I would be pretty surprised and upset if I didn't get in. Crossing my fingers for next week.

In Florida - got packet today in priority envelope. Applied Friday 10/30 (but didn't submit on LSAC until close to midnight, so techincally, they didn't get my app til Monday 11/2).
