<p>Ginger:</p>
<p>We are from Northern Virginia – makes me even more surprised our son got in as the competition from this area is very stiff.</p>
<p>What makes this great for us is that our daughter was accepted to W&L two years ago and after quite a bit of anguish chose UVA.</p>
<p>Although she loves UVA, she has frequently wondered if she would have loved W&L even more.</p>
<p>Now she will get a little bit of the W&L experience when she visits her brother (I really thinks she wants an excuse to wear a W&L Trident Sweatshirt).</p>
<p>I would stay optimistic for your son’s chances. If they are taking some students off of the waitlist this early, that may very well mean that they are having higher than expected rejections from those that were admitted RD.</p>
