  • Advice? Commiserations? Feel like bragging?: I thought my test scores would keep me out but they obviously looked at me more holistically. W & M was my first choice for a while (I thought about doing ED) but at this point, my choices are down to Georgetown and Tulane. W & M is still a possibility but an unlikely one. I’m very thankful to get in, nonetheless.
