Thanks Jessica! As positive as the experience was with W&M, I've decided to join Krannert in the fall. Best of luck to all of you and enjoy your time in Williamsburg!

Received the Admit Letter today! In with $$ and GA!

But will be waiting for decisions from other schools before I take the plunge. Definitely had a positive experience with W&M all throughout, so it would be interesting to see if I will be attending it in Fall 2018!

I got admitted with $$$. Really into W&M with everything from program, people to the town. But the remaining tuition is still too high, but I'm not at a good position to take loan.

I do not know how much you guys mean by using $$$ or $$ . I really love W&M, mostly by talking with people of W&M. I was also admitted with scholarship and GA but the remaining costs are still over my pocket. Is there any change to negotiate?

Guys - if you aren’t in position to take out a loan, you can always defer your admission to the following year and save some money. Hopefully you have a good reason, because I don’t know that simply saying you don’t want to take out a loan is good enough. If there is a reason you can’t borrow for school, let them know and come up with a plan for your deferral. You can always do more things to additional or better funding (promotion at work, higher GMAT, etc.).

As far as negotiations for more money are concerned, you can absolutely do that if you aren’t satisfied. If there is a reason you need more money that wasn’t articulated in the admissions process, then you can share those with the committee (maybe you won’t make as much money this year or you had a death in the family that is causing you financial burden). If you have stronger offers from other schools, you can use those as well. Just send an e-mail letting W&M know they are your top choice, but you received xyz amount from this other school. Feel free to attach the other offer to the e-mail to prove you aren’t bluffing. They won’t let students who show good promise go over a couple thousand dollars.

Hi everyone! I just wanted to let any lurkers know that even though our thread here is quiet, we have a very active https://gmatclub.com/chat. If you have been admitted and want to join just message me with your information!

Hey guys,

I have been admitted to the W&M MBA program.

I was reading here that there is a https://gmatclub.com/chat group for the class of 2020, please add me to that group. Let's connect.

Cheers.

Hi guys and gals,

Another admitted student at W&M here. Please add me to the https://gmatclub.com/chat group.
I'm also curious about the GA you are talking about. Do you get that for first year already?

Cheers,

Does anyone know if it's possible to earn a scholarship after the first semester?

Hi plantlife!

I am not sure on that. I believe the offers are typically made at admission, but I would reach out to the admissions office and ask them. The staff there are all really nice! I do know that in our 2nd year we have the opportunity to apply for a graduate assistantship position which helps a little bit financially.

Thanks for the info!
