Anyone knows how many spots left after the 2 rounds of ED releases?

Last year they took about 41% of the class ED.

So I think it pays to be precise about what you mean by “spots”. There are enrollment spots, and there are admit spots, and usually RD admit spots are a significant multiple of post-ED enrollment spots because most colleges have a fairly low RD yield. So, like, if they had 1000 post-ED enrollment spots, they might have 4000-6000 RD admit spots. That sort of thing.

Last year, they admitted 5077 under RD. You can look at WMs Common Data Set for some more numbers

For someone who was just trying to crudely ballpark numbers off the cuff, I am feeling pretty good about how I did!

I’d expect around ~4500 this year. W&M is piloting a yield rate increasing program this year.

I could be totally off target with lower admission numbers but that’s what this article seemed to imply

It will be interesting to see how much it helps

Instead of an ad campaign, offer more merit and/or need-based aid? My kiddo got a Cypher postcard so he’s a likely admit, but with no money we’ll have to cross W&M off, and those ads are gonna make me bitter, LOL!

Any split of IS vs OOS for RD offers? Thank you so much for all the helpful responses.

A bit hard to know since we don’t know how many OOS were given in the ED round.

Fingers crossed that you will benefit from the scholarships that were a major part of the capital campaign that just ended!
