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, every application will be read at least twice and at least one read will be your regional counselor.
