u/Snod_25 12d ago

test opt might be the problem because they're gonna assume that you just did poorly on the test

Yeah, 7 EDT makes sense

u/Automatic-Welder8716 23d ago

Anyone know when they will release acceptances to the OOS rank and file? Not Monroe or 1693, etc?

u/tribefootballfan 20d ago

u/Training-Jury-1878 Mar 07 '25

Got a likely postcard and wondering if Monroe Scholars have already been notified?

2

u/Training-Jury-1878 Mar 07 '25

Well, I got my answer! Admitted today as a Monroe Scholar (Out Of State)!

1

u/ForsakenChef5783 24d ago

What state? I'm in RI and haven't heard anything

1

u/Training-Jury-1878 24d ago

Only Monroe Scholars were notified early.

2

u/heatherdukefanboy HS Senior Mar 08 '25

Ayyy me too!

1

u/Training-Jury-1878 Mar 08 '25

Congrats! Is it a top pick for you?

2

u/heatherdukefanboy HS Senior Mar 08 '25

Depends on the money lol. But if it's affordable for me then definitely!!

3

u/heatherdukefanboy HS Senior Feb 09 '25

Does anyone know if 1693 semifinalists have been notified yet?? The website just says February and I got a likely letter so I was maybe hoping to get notified 😭

2

u/Expert_Ad_3989 Feb 17 '25

have you heard back yet? i got my likely a week ago and havent heard anything abt 1693 scholars either

1

u/heatherdukefanboy HS Senior Feb 17 '25

I think they sent the notifications already unfortunately 😭

1

u/Expert_Ad_3989 Feb 17 '25

noo thats too bad 😭

u/skierstonkss25 Feb 08 '25

u/The_Lovely_Clarinet Feb 01 '25

just got a likely letter in the mail today- super excited!

1

u/queenjuli1 Feb 03 '25

What does a likely letter look like? We haven't gotten one, and it's my daughters top choice, and she's shown a lot of demonstrated interest (albeit we did get some mail in the fall) but we are OOS.

2

u/The_Lovely_Clarinet Feb 03 '25

it looks like a postcard- the back is green with the w&m logo on it (looks a lot like a piece of college mail) and the front should have some information about the w&m cypher and say stuff about "anticipating to send you good news this spring" with a handwritten note from an admissions officer. I wouldn't worry too much if your daughter doesn't get one- they only send them out to about 25% of students they accept and a lot of it depends on when they read your application.

1

u/queenjuli1 Feb 03 '25

My daughter submitted it in late November, so I'm sure the time aspect is fine. Would you mind disclosing your rough area of residence in terms of mail time?

1

u/The_Lovely_Clarinet Feb 03 '25

I'm in Maryland and received the letter two days ago. I submitted my application late December.

2

u/queenjuli1 Feb 03 '25

We will be hoping + praying then that the USPS is incompetent. Congrats on your likely acceptance!

u/Mindless-Astronaut-7 Feb 05 '25

Pittsburgh received today.

2

u/heatherdukefanboy HS Senior Feb 09 '25

Ayyy I'm in Pittsburgh and got it Wednesday too!

u/queenjuli1 Feb 05 '25

Luckily, we are Utah then. If it's you, who got it - congrats!
