<p>packer22, while no decision is final until you receive official notification from W&M (via email and mail), your logic is going in the right direction.</p>
<p>Eagles, postcards are sent only after an application has been reviewed at least once. We cannot review anyone’s application until that application is complete. If you have not received a second email it just means we haven’t matched all your materials together yet. Once you get that second email, your application will be in the pile to go out for review (that pile can be thousands of applications long). So some students who have great applications won’t get a postcard simply because they get read later based totally on when we randomly pull files to read. Not getting a postcard does not necessarily mean anything.</p>
