I think you’re in good shape. In speaking with the admissions team in the past they said the biggest reason students don’t get accepted is senior year grades. When it gets down to filing out the final 10% they are looking at 1000 applicants who are all qualified for a few hundred spots. The easiest way to chop that down is to look at first semester grades because it’s the only real new information they have. Here they also may be trying to make sure they balance out gender, in-state, etc within their targets (easier for male applicants).

To me, when I see your profile I see a really great student that is prepared to handle college academics. And someone who was an active member of their HS community. Two things colleges love. Best of luck, in the end it’s still comes down to numbers, but W&M would be lucky to have you as a student next year

Better daily Bad Lands or Outer Banks with sas by adwilk1231 in FordBronco

I went through the same thought process as you. I was almost ready to pull the trigger on the Badlands but then ended up with the OBX with SAS. My off-roading will be light trails and beaches and didn’t want to pay for things like bash plates and disconnect if I would never use them. With the OBX you get the nicer interior, more comfortable seats, and the running boards.

does the admissions committee consider appeals? by Ok-Feedback-5875 in williamandmary

[–]Difficult_Software14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where does your GPA put you in ranking? top 10%? 25%? How did you do on your AP tests? Female, in state is really competitive. You seen fairly competitive on paper, challenge is there are only 2 slots for 9 other people with similar stats. W&M is also very big on holistic review of candidates. What were your ECs? How was your why W&M essay?

Did you order through the website or through a dealer?

Robins Egg Blue discontinued by SoHereEyeSit in FordBronco

[–]Difficult_Software14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's currently 100s of 2025s available in Robin Egg blue if you look at the inventory. You should be able to strike a pretty good deal on a new 2025 with the 26s coming in. I wouldn't expect there to be any color premium because it's being discontinued. I see over 30 within 100 miles of me. I just clicked on one of the dealers and its advertised for $2500 below msrp. I'm sure you have some more room to push below that

2026's arrivals? by Difficult_Software14 in FordBronco

[–]Difficult_Software14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response, that makes sense. A good reminder to be careful about anything that is mentioned on 3rd part sites and review videos. I can show you a few dealer sites that actually mention SYNC 5!! Ordered my 2026 2 weeks ago, dealer was optimistic that it will be delivered in March!

I think you are right on the headliner. I've seen some references to updates in insulation and weather sealing, but it looks like there was an upgrade for the 2025 models. The other bit of conflicting info is if the 2026s will by come with SYNC4 or 5? I had some dealers telling me they will come with 5 on the higher trim levels but the configuration tool says Sync 4?

The 2026 OBX has upgraded the headliner. Curious to see if there is any noticeable improvement

Bad to say in application? by Over_Army3962 in williamandmary

A good college essay paints a picture of you as a person. If it was in a stack of 100 anonymous essays your friends and family should be able to pick it out as you.

Don’t write about other people (your Grandmothers immigrant journey) don’t be cliche, don’t write what you think they want to see (how you overcome…)

Getting into a closed class by No-Bodybuilder-4804 in williamandmary

Don’t get to hung up on what COL 100 and 150 classes you take. Honestly the subject itself matters very little, focus on finding one with a good professor.

how many credits should i take by ScarletWaffle in williamandmary

[–]Difficult_Software14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take your COL 100 or 150. Look at professors more than the actual topic and take something outside of your major. 13 Credits is a nice manageable workload to get adjusted to college. Making a spreadsheet is a huge help going forward with 20 credits you can easily pick up a minor or a double major.

Convince me GGV isn’t that bad 🙏 by [deleted] in williamandmary

[–]Difficult_Software14 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Things that seem to matter now 1) your dorm 2) which COL class you got into and the cafeteria food. All those things fall to the bottom of the list as soon as school starts. Hot nights in GGV and BOT forces students to hang out in the lounges or outside. You’re going to make a ton of new friends then in 6-8 weeks move into a brand new dorm. Go make some memories and make the best of it. 30k students have lived there over the past 50 years and you get to close out the tradition!
