****, now I'm starting to get a bit worried. Thought that maybe I'd be in the 2nd round of admits. Guess I was overconfident.

Got in! It might have said this somewhere in the 18 pages on this thread, but do admissions packets come with scholarship info at W&M, or does that come later?

It comes with it. So we'll find out in a few days! According to Veritas they're really fast with mailing.

[summerschooled]

IN!! It's my first acceptance! Applied at the end of October, GPA above 25% and LSAT above 75%

Cool - I'm hoping for some $$$ - GPA=above 75th, LSAT= ~75th

[RMstratosphere]

Accepted via status checker & phone call from a W&M 1L who's a friend from UG. Very nice touch.

In as well; LSN is in my profile.

I got to WM undergrad, so I'll let you all know when I get my packet...it shouldn't take long I hope.

Haha, you should just call them and ask to stop by.

I have no idea whether to expect money. I'm LSAT fair amount above 75th, GPA way below 25th.

[UFMatt]

Also in! Good luck to everyone still waiting.

To those who have been accepted, what appears after "Application Ready for Review?" Is it:

Application Ready for Review > Decision Pending > Review Complete (with "Congratulations! Admit Packet Mailed")

[superflush]

Just an email saying my app was complete and that I would not hear anything until April 1, as they do not have rolling admissions.

wow, long time to wait.

No, I think this time it skipped Decision Pending. I went from App Ready for Review to Review Complete. Then about 10 hours later the Congratulations! Admit Packet Mailed was added. I never had "Decision Pending."

Damn I have decision pending 11/10

That's precisely how mine went - no "Decision Pending."

Okay, thanks. Oh, and congrats!

[UTaylor526]

Ah! This and GMU are both bothering me. I'm in at W&L but really want to hear from these two...

[kalvano]

Hey all, this may have been answered, but it's a long thread.

How many of you getting acceptances wrote the optional essay?

How much importance do they place on it?

W&M is one of three outstanding apps for me, and I would like to maximize my chances there, but I just can't think of anything for their prompt. I've been out of school a while, and my PS is all about working and having a career, which seems to answer their optional prompt.


Any help is appreciated!


Edit - 164 LSAT, 3.23 cumulative GPA. LSAT is right in their range, but GPA is low.

[Vincent Vega]

I didn't write one, but my LSAT and GPA were well above median, so IDK what effect it had on my admittance.

[beesknees]

I didn't write one. But since your numbers are below their medians, you should probably put in the extra effort.

[solotee]

In! Out of state.

165/3.9

Did not write optional essay. Briefly mentioned W & M in my PS.

GL to those waiting!

[danidancer]

IN! First acceptance! So exciting!

Applied 11/1
GPA 3.45
LSAT 168

[runawaydish]

AHH! In as well!
