5

<p>stand a really good shot…good luck.</p>

6

<p>without aid, i think you stand a pretty good chance…all the best.</p>

<p>I was also a soph transfer this past year, and your stats definitely beat mine. I think one of the most important things that they look at is your college GPA thus far, and yours, especially at William & Mary, is impressive. Keep it up!</p>

<p>Thanks guys! Also, do they wait for final transcripts from the year to make a decision? I’ve heard different things regarding this… On the website it says nothing about this and just says decisions are made on a rolling basis after submission however, on cc it seems ilke most people had to submit final first year transcripts? vexing!</p>

<p>Looks like you are quite the MUN veteran! It’s nice to find a fellow MUNer on CC.</p>

<p>To answer your question, yes I believe you have quite a strong chance. About the transcripts, I’m not sure since you’re a transfer, but I would say that the school would still like to see your final grades.</p>

10

<p>Yes, I remember I submitted a final transcript, though my grades came out at the beginning of June rather than the May 1st application deadline. So yeah, just send a final transcript as soon as it becomes available.</p>

11

<p>Thanks guys! I’ll give the school a call tomorrow to get a clarification.</p>

<p>Called them yesterday, apparently they wait for final grades for “some” applicants? Otherwise, they start admitting in mid-May. Whatever, I’ll just have to wait and see what they do for me.</p>
