The official William and Mary Class of 2009 Thread (W&M)

[Who dat?]

I will be attending william & mary this fall   

Are you going to keep hanging on the waitlists, Triumph?  I took myself off UVA's waitlist.  I don't think I would switch even if they offered me a spot, so no point in giving myself fits turning down what was my first pick once upon a time.

Nah, I've removed myself from my waitlists, and am set on W&M.  Not much chance of getting in off a waitlist, and even if I do, I would'nt want to pay full tuition at any of the schools that have waitlisted me.

Thats sweet Triumph, Good choice.

Thanks Philibusters.  Thats what everyones been telling me, so i'm quite happy with my decision

I got a package today from Dean Shealy.  Enclosed is a reminder of what needs to be sent in and also web log in info for you.  I'm in DC so mine may arrive quicker than other people.

Thanks for the update -- I was expecting an email, not a letter.

It's a one page letter and 3 pages of instructions of how to use/access their webportal. 

Nothing too exciting so far as I can see at the moment.

Lope, I'm headed up to Williamsburg next week to look for housing. Some of the apartment complexes I heard were popular for law students are Regency 1 & 2 and Spotswood Commons (but you have to get on a waiting list... I'm already on several) because I think they are some of the nicer/newer complexes. I stayed with an admitted student in Monticello at Powhatan which was a really nice complex in a nice area... but also very expensive. If you scroll up, I posted some links to housing websites, there is a W&M students board where people post rooms for rent and such. Personally I'm trying to find a nice one bedroom place so I'm also looking at Steeplechase on the Lake, Parkway Apartments, and Country Club Apartments. You can look some of these up on rentnet.com or some of the complexes may have their own websites. I think its worth it to look at individual listings too because you might get lucky and find something nice. If its near campus chances are its going to be popular with students... which might not be a good thing if you're trying to avoid undergrads. I will update you all once I visit next week, hopefully I'll find something cute, near campus, and affordable!

Woah. Paul Giamatti is going to be in our class?

[Tulip7]

Hey Tulip, thanks very much for the info.  I'm checking those places out online right now.  I'm not trying to avoid undergrads, but it would be nice to be near some other grad students.

Tulip, you were at the admitted students day, right?  Were you sitting next to that guy that looked like Paul Giamatti at lunch on Saturday?

Haha, I had to google him to find out who he is, but I don't remember sitting next to anyone who looked like that! Were you at the admitted students day on April 1?

I was there and talked to the girl who applied to 27 schools.  She was actually really cool; I hope she decided to pick W&M over BC or BU.

[Tulip7]

Wow, that's a lot of schools. I thought I overapplied. Did any of yall go out to the Green Leafe the night before the admitted student's day? I was there with my student host and some other current students and it was a lot of fun.
