<p>OK. Your stats are amazing. </p>

<p>Basically…communicate that you have something to offer them without sounding arrogant.</p>

<p>And let’s face it…early decision? I’d say you are in.</p>

<p>If you know that your essays, teacher recs, course load, GPA, and SATs are perfect then why are you even wondering?</p>

<p>Don’t worry about it. I’d say you were most likely in.</p>

<p>Glad to hear you’re considering early decision. Sounds like you might be from one of the magnet programs in Richmond (Chesterfield County)? You certainly sound like a competitive applicant. Probably sounding like a broken record in responding to these posts but just remember that all selective schools like W&M have more qualified applicants than available spaces so not all competitive applicants are admitted. That being said you appear to have a very strong resume and if W&M is your first choice, we’d encourage you to apply early decision so that you’ll know by the first week of December.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
