Even if it was a rejection id be happy. Waiting is the worst

[ilanaglazer]

I've been complete since the end of September and haven't heard a peep.

My heart goes out to you

Everyone else is getting accepted and here I am just waiting to hear anything. The admissions office has yet to email me back even once as well.Wish I wouldn't have paid the fee waiver or applied here, almost.

Yes!!! Me too!! I went complete 1/7 and nothing! Guys, would it be super weird if I called or emailed someone to check on my status? Because what's the deal? It's not like I'm a stellar student, but so many people have heard back so quickly.

The ultimate question is: are you a VA resident or not?

Based on personally quick turnaround with both W&M and UVA (as a state resident), I'm willing to bet this makes a HELLUVA lot of difference, particularly for W&M. It's the difference between an $30k/yr and $40k/yr in tuition for them, after all.

I got my decision in a week and I'm not a state resident, so I don't know if that's really a major factor for turnaround.

Yeah I am also OOS and heard back in 8 days so I'm not sure how residency factors in

Out-of-state student here from Kansas...submitted my app on February 11 or so, and was admitted this past Monday! Definitely wasn't expecting it to be this early, as they sent me an email making it pretty clear that they wouldn't even begin reviewing this round of applications until after the March 1st deadline.

[WaitWaitDontSay]

Been sitting at 2 months at complete. What gives WM...

[ebjdmph]

I was admitted on monday (went complete 2/1) and received my packet in the mail on wednesday with no scholarship info whatsoever. Does it come separately? My stats are well within W&M's range with good softs and I rather expected a LITTLE something. Has that opportunity passed and am I definitely getting picked over for merit-based aid?

[hanson377]

They didnt mention anything about scholarships in my acceptance email, but the admissions packet i received via mail about two days later had all of that information included...

Yeah definitely making me not want to attend even if I do get accepted

[bruceaquizzer1]

Anyone heard anything??

[PSPSPSPS]

I am just going off of anecdata from lawschoolnumbers, but for the last 3 years (maybe longer, but decided not to check any further), March 18th has seemingly served as an arbitrary cutoff date for acceptances. This does not include people on the waitlist. March 18th is next Friday.

I know several have received acceptance letters, has anyone received an outright rejection or have been waitlisted? I'm assuming they send all those out at one time at the end of the cycle. I went complete 2/9 and haven't heard anything but I'm a splitter.

[GrandJC]

Heard majority of decisions will be sent out in the last week of March.

This (http://mylsn.info/r/pre-law/admissions/graph/) search on MYLSN shows one rejection, with a 151/3.1.

We can know two things from this small sample size of 41:

1. Few rejections. W&M does say that most of their decisions will be released by the first of April, as they do not have a rolling admissions policy.
2. The one rejection we DO see is a pretty obvious one. So we can assume that they've only dinged people who they were confident weren't a good fit.

Note that this makes sense, as the majority of people who have heard back already are - for the most part - people with a plainly clear shot of being accepted. So say that W&M hands our acceptances to top 25%, and rejections to bottom 25%. They still have the middle 50 to decide on.

tldr; be patient and confident until you have a reason not to be.

[LawMullet]

Has anyone made a campus visit during the weekend? If so, were you able to schedule meetings or tours? I won't be able to make it to ASW, but trying to head up there next Friday.

[anrobinson]

Got my acceptance today. I swear I only applied a week ago . I'm sure my file wasn't complete till last thursday. Very quick!

[capitolbuffalo]

[lizzielemon]

I applied about a week and a half ago and was accepted within a week with scholarship. I am a pretty big splitter and VA resident with work experience if that makes a difference.

Did you get an email?

Did your status ever change?! Mine still shows complete for a while now.

[tedofsandimas]

In via email! Went complete on 3/8 and my status checker has not been updated yet.
