First-Year Applicants
{{youtube:medium:right|0PcmV9e_tpo}}William & Mary is a story over three centuries in the making. We celebrate our past while always looking to our future. Our first-year students are that future, and their applications share their unique stories.
W&M currently accepts the Common App. Your transcript and optional standardized test scores tell your academic story, your extracurricular activities, recommendations, essay(s) and background tell your personal story. Once submitted, we will consider your application through our individual, comprehensive and holistic review process where we consider everything we learn about you, and to think about your achievements and potential. Your application is always reviewed by the admissions committee which includes your regional counselor.
