Washington & Lee Class of 2029 Official RD Thread

This is the official discussion thread for Washington & Lee Class of 2029 RD applicants. Ask your questions and connect with fellow applicants.

Does anyone know when the RD decisions will be released?

Around April 1st.

Does W&L have any history of releasing decisions early?

It appears last year’s RD release was around 3/22. But that’s no guarantee for this year… especially since apparently there have been a record number of applications.

Daughter got a ā€˜likely’ letter/notification and invitation for RISE on the 27th of March.

I’m not sure if this counts as a likely letter or not but my son received a postcard from a student admissions ambassador that says something like (not word for word he took it):

"Hi ā€œson’s nameā€ I’m a student admissions ambassador and admissions asked me to contact you to build your interest in W&L. We do not contact everyone, admissions was impressed with your application. Please contact me with any questions, I can’t wait to tell you more about W&L!ā€ And then her name and info.

I feel like a rejection would really suck after that!

We got an official email from admissions committee that she would be very highly likely to be offered admissions (same words)

My daughter got the same postcard. Verbatim. Interestingly, she withdrew her application a month ago.

Well that’s bizarre! I guess we’ll find out what it means in a few weeks.

Crossing my fingers for you!

Does anyone know if today is the day for admissions decisions? fingers are so crossed.

I’m inclined to believe that Johnson results are releasing sometime soon, I’m unsure of what day specifically but I received my Johnson result around this time last year. Rest of the RD results follow after that within a week or so.

I suspect you are correct. Historically Johnson results released the Friday before RD results so if Johnson releases tonight at 8 PM, I expect RD results to release next Friday at 8 PM.

Johnson releases tonight at 8 pm. I think RD is next Friday from what I was told at Johnson weekend.
