Held until they receive my fall grades. Better than a ding, waitlist, or general holding I'd suppose.

Status check says "Review Complete-Hold for Further Reviews" ... Does this mean I am now officially on the dreaded waitlist?

No. Your app will go under review again, and then they will make a final decision, which could be admit, reject, or waitlist.

I'm in the same position. Welcome to the partayyyy

Okay, cool. That makes me feel a bit better.

Hopefully it works out for us!

I had this update, too. Does anyone know if that means they're waiting for fall grades, or for the dean to review, or what?

I'm done school, so I don't have any more grades to submit. My guess as to why we're being held is as good as yours...

edit: but I did receive a christmas greeting, so at least I haven't been totally forgotten about...

Accepted! 12k/yr scholarship. Not sure if that's enough to turn down other offers...but it's a great school.

Accepted via email this AM!

Did your scholarship offer come in email form or acceptance packet? I only see email so far, but no scholarship info.

I don't know about their experience, but I got a very similar scholarship offer and it came in the acceptance packet, not the email

[ohioguy99]

Accepted via email early this morning!

[logicgames_darling]

held for review too!! honestly considering it's a reach i'm ok with it.
obviously not ideal, but better than a flat out ding.

Just applied today!

So has anyone who has gotten the "hold for further review" status been accepted? If so, how long after the status change was it?

I don't know that anyone with that status has had a change. It seems like a lot of schools are slow with decisions this cycle, maybe because thanksgiving came so late? It's possible they're waiting as long as they can, especially if the number of apps is low. I'm in the same boat, but I'm glad it gives me an opportunity to update with great fall semester grades, and as another poster said, at least it's not an outright ding. Lookin' on the bright side

[BLUERUFiO]

Just checking in. I applied yesterday. I'm hoping for some of that sweet, sweet moola.

[PattyCake]

Would love some input. My application is on hold for further reviews. I had great fall semester grades, and I'm taking a January session class which began today and runs for 3 more weeks. I can't decide if I should send my updated transcript now and another updated transcript after my January class ends (I will definitely get another A), or if I should hold off and just update it once at the end of the month. I have heard that admissions committees get annoyed when you continually add to your application, but does that apply to updated grades as well...?

[zippernicus]

Checking in Sending in my app this week! Best of luck, everyone.

Does anyone know how receptive W&M is to solicitations for merit scholarship increases?

Does anyone know how receptive W&M is to solicitations for merit scholarship increases?

I solicited last year and had my scholarship increased by 30%. I provided them with a counter offer from a lower ranked school that gave me much more money.

[maple22]

Accepted via email this morning! Thrilled!

[stillswimming72]

Accepted via email this morning as well! I am so excited! Best of luck to anyone who is still waiting for their decision.

[PAGator2014]

Accepted this morning via e-mail! Really excited about looking into the school and the area. I will hopefully try to make it down there during my Spring Break for a visit. Congrats to everyone else who got in this morning, and good luck to those applying!

[mandyjay11]

Congrats to everyone!!


I just went complete on the 3rd.
