<p>Let me try to address the past few questions that have been posed.</p>
<p>1) W&M examines its early decision policy every year to ensure that it not only aligns itself with with admission and College objectives but also to ensure that is the best practice for all applicants. No major changes were made to our early decision policy between last year and this year although our acceptance rates during early decision have increased over the course of the past several years. This year’s early decision cycle appears to be very similar to last years.</p>
<p>2) Our early decision applications this year appear to be very similar to last year’s.</p>
<p>3) We send any mailed communication regarding an applicant’s admission decision to the mailing address.</p>
<p>4) As for notification, we are choosing not to release any details regarding method at this time until we know for 100% certainty how we will notify applicants so that we do not give out any misinformation. However, any changes we make will not change our decision notification timelines.</p>
<p>Again, check the Undergraduate Admission web page and Facebook/Twitter pages for updates. When decisions are released, the information on how they were released and when will be posted.</p>
