Chance at Washington & Lee

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey all. This is my first post on the site. I'm trying to decide if I need to apply ED to Washington and Lee or not. I would prefer to apply RD and send out some other applications to see where I got in, but I want to make sure that I am going to get into W&L during the RD if I do this. So basically what I'm asking you guys is if you think I have a good shot at getting in RD or if you think it would be wiser for me to apply ED considering my stats. By the way, I have shown a good amount of demonstrated interest in the school so far. I visited in February, I plan on visiting for an on-campus interview in 3 weeks, and I plan on visiting again a few weeks after that to visit some friends. Thanks in advance for the chances. My stats are as follows:</p>

<p>White Male, South Carolina
Weighted GPA: 4.2
Unweighted GPA: 4.1
Rank: School doesn't rank but I'm in top 10-15%
SAT Score: 2160 (690 Math, 720 Writing, 750 Critical Reading)</p>

<p>Sophomore Year: AP World History (3)
Junior Year: AP US History(4), AP English Lit(4)
Current Senior Year Classes: AP European History, AP Environmental Science, AP Statistics, AP English Language, AP Studio Art</p>

<p>EC's and Awards:
Member of the Honor Council - 9th-12th grade <em>Hook for W&L since they're honor focused</em>
National Spanish Honor Society - 11th grade
National Junior Honor Society - 9th and 10th grade
Honor Roll - 9th-12th grade
Varsity Tennis Team - 9th-10th grade
Varsity Track Team (state championship) - 11th grade
National Merit Scholar (whatever the first round was called) - 11th grade
Extended Day School Tutor - 9th and 10th grade</p>

<p>I'm a very strong writer and consider English to be my strongest subject. As a result, I believe my college essay will be one of the strongest points about my transcript. I should have it written in the next 2-3 weeks.</p>

<p>Work Experience:
Worked at local country club as a manual laborer. Not an easy, country club job at all. Summer going in to 12th grade.</p>

<p>Possible Majors : Accounting, Economics</p>

<p>There may be some more minor EC's I left out but for the most part that's what I've got.</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance, go with ED if it is your top choice. But first find out the admission % difference of ED compared to RD. I say you have about a 35-45% chance</p>

<p>Good Luck! Please, chance me back :slight_smile:

<p>Ok thanks. Do you think I would get in ED without a problem? I know for a fact that they take half of the freshmen class from ED and its a good bit easier to get in ED than RD</p>
