<p>I think you made the same post twice. Here’s what I replied to your “I Know…I know thread”</p>

<p>Seems like you’re on the right track in terms of your course schedule, grades, standardized testing, and involvements. If you’re in love with W&M, you might want to consider ED. There’s a smaller pool of applicants so it’s easier for your application to make an impact. Make sure you highlight some of your extracurricular involvements and leadership activities such as school mascot and some of your president positions.</p>

<p>Remember, only 25-28% of out-of-state applicants get in but you certainly have many promising qualities.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
