The College of William and Mary recently released the admissions statistics for the incoming class of 2030 on W&M News.
This year, the College granted admission to 6,001 prospective students from a pool of 17,432 applicants, with an overall admissions rate of 34%. This acceptance percentage is down two percentage points compared to the class of 2029.
Prospective students of the class of 2030 recorded a middle-50% SAT score range from 1420-1520 and a middle-50% ACT score range from 33-35. Compared to last year, median SAT scores saw a slight increase from 1410-1520, while median ACT scores remained the same.
The admitted class of 2030 spans 57 countries compared to the class of 2029’s 41.
Zoe Miyamoto ’27, who works at the undergraduate admissions office, described her experience volunteering at Day for Admitted Students.
“I was able to interact with students who are excited about the prospect of admittance,” she said. “It is really special to be able to celebrate these admitted students and see all of the results of their hard work.”
The College received 1,606 early decision applications this year. Of those applicants, 760 were offered admission to the College.
Stanton Dodson ’27, an orientation aide last summer, expressed excitement at meeting the incoming class of 2030.
“It’s awesome to see the new faces that arrive on campus for the first time each year,” he said. “All of the students I get to meet bring their own unique personalities that make W and M what it is.”
Associate Provost for Enrollment and Dean of Admission Tim Wolfe said he looks forward to seeing the class of 2030 flourish on campus in a W&M News press release.
“Based on the academic quality, experiences and talents displayed in the applications of our admitted students, I’m confident this class will make William & Mary proud and be among the best of the best in the nation,” Wolfe said.
