My DD applied EA

William and Mary doesn’t have EA. They have two rounds of ED which are binding. On another thread you indicated your D has applied ED to Tulane. Is that another kid or did your D apply EA to Tulane? You can only apply ED to one school.

I have no idea, but for kicks I’ll guess Friday 12/5. I saved this awhile ago from a previous year’s thread:

Oh! Sorry for the duplicate info post! Just saw the other comment above.

Shoot - I didn’t realize those dates were timed to Thanksgiving, which was late this year. Meaning, more likely next week?

Since 2020 it’s been 12 or 15 days after Thanksgiving so I’m gonna guess around Dec 9.

Ugh, later than I’d hoped. This is going to be a long final waiting stretch…

Does anyone know if Monroe Scholars comes out with ED decisions or later?

I’ve heard anectdotal evidence that sometimes Monroe is awarded with ED, but other sources say it only comes later during the RD round. Can’t find a firm answer there.

Still hoping against hope it will be this evening! Friend with a current W&M student said she thinks it will be next week.

Hoping for tonight too! I keep checking the admissions Instagram page for an announcement. :crossed_fingers:

The current W&M student thought next week based on inside intel or just a hunch?

A hunch from last year’s Tuesday rollout I guess.

Ok it’s GOT to be this week, yes? After the 12th I feel like we’re officially out of “early” December. :zany_face:

I predict Tuesday 12/9 at 5:07pm but will gladly take good news on Monday. Well good news, anytime. :wink:
