Their ED acceptance rate for in-state applicants is around 50%. I think you have a good shot. Your score and activities are good, while the GPA is a tidbit on the low side. But, you have taken a strong course load (APs). That should help. BTW, my niece applied ED there (she is from VA). I visited the school about a month ago with my brother and niece. I really liked it…a lot. It very much looks like a small liberal arts school. Good luck!
Is your weighted GPA out of 4.0? If so, I think your chances are good, because your stats are very similar to a typical W&M student (saying this as a current W&M student). Good luck!
i think you’ll get in. from what ive seen at my school (VA resident too) people apply/get in with stats around yours. applying ED will help you out a lot too. good luck and go tribe!
