Anyone want to help a girl out?

<p>I just applied to W&M ED, and I'm super nervous.</p>

<p>I'm an Asian (Filipino) female from Long Island NY. I have a 3.5ish unweighted GPA/ 3.8-3.9 weighted GPA and a 1700 SAT (not that wonderful :/)</p>

<p>My senior schedule:
APs: Calculus AB, Biology, Macroeconomics, English Language, Studio Art
Electives: Health, Drawing&Painting II
Independent studies (couldn't fit into my schedule): Orchestra</p>

<p>For the common app essay I wrote about teaching a two month old baby how to swim underwater (I thought it was decent :$)</p>

<p>As for EC's I have a bunch, predominately art, swimming, and orchestra related (vice president of art honor society, varsity girl's swim team all four years, first violin since 4th grade). I submitted an art portfolio and instead of an optional essay I mailed in a self portrait/abstract piece describing myself (tried to think outside the box! lol)</p>

<p>So, any comments? All are welcome and thank you so much :)</p>

<p>Good luck everyone!</p>

<p>In my view, your grades (assume not top 10%) and SATs would ordinarily put you in the high reach category for OOS at W&M (less than 10%), BUT the art supplement is a total wild card (very smart to submit it, my son is doing the same thing) and if it touches an AO’s heart probably might put you in the ball game.</p>

<p>muckdogs07, thank you so much for your input! I’m kind of close! Top 15% actually, if that helps at all!</p>

<p>Don’t fret too much :slight_smile: you have a chance! Your GPA is good. Standardized tests aren’t the end all be all. At this point, all we have to do is wait. Which is scary!!</p>

<p>Why would you want to attend OOS in VA? OOS tuition will run approx $45 - 50K/yr with little chance for appreciable FA. Better to consider VA Private school such as Roanoke College or W&L since private schools are more generous with FA and both in the same range with base cost.</p>
