William and 玛丽 logs another record year for applicants: Undergraduate admission applications up 6 percent to more than 11,500
(Williamsburg, VA) – William and 玛丽’s undergraduate admission applications have topped 11,500 -- which represents a 6.2 percent increase from last year, including a rise of nearly 15 percent in applications among in-state students.
The total application numbers represent another record year for the College – its third in a row – in terms of total undergraduate applications. In addition, the increase of more than 6 percent would be the highest percentage increase in undergraduate applications in three years. Last year, the College recorded more than 10,850 applications, which at the time was itself a record.
“Every year more young women and men come to understand that William and 玛丽 is a university and a community unlike any other -- a notion our admissions staff advances far, wide, and most effectively," said William and 玛丽 President Gene R. Nichol. “My colleagues and I look forward to the next extraordinary class they'll assemble from among this record-setting and diverse group. Their success is credit to all who advance the mission of the College.”
